HI. I have had a bit of a search using Google as well as gone through the forums here to see if there is anything related to being able to change Suse's Grub2 boot manager with Grub2 that I had initially with Ubuntu and Linux Mint. I have installed currently the latest OpenSuse 13.1 distro.
I find that that the customized Grub2 boot manager that OpenSuse has, loads up too slowly when using that customized Grub2.
When I was using Grub2 under the control of Ubuntu it loaded up much quicker than the customized replacement from OpenSuse. I have tried to go and log in back to Ubuntu to sudo os-prober but still the customized interface of OpenSuse's Grub2 boot still refuses to be replaced.

Ubuntu is on /dev/sda2
Is it possible to switch the " boot " flag that OpenSuse currently has back to /dev/sda2 via Gparted? Is that the easiest method?
Right now (using Gparted), OpenSuse has the flags ' type, boot" and /dev/sda2 (ubuntu) has the flags 'type". If memory serves me correct, I believe that this was the initial configuration.
