I'm trying to install Grub-Customizer on my system, however I keep getting the following output when adding the PPA:

Adding deb entry to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/danielrichter2007-ubuntu-grub-customizer-lunar.list
Adding disabled deb-src entry to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/danielrichter2007-ubuntu-grub-customizer-lunar.list

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Ultimately, when I then do sudo apt-get install grub-customizer it fails.

I'd read somewhere that it had originally been removed from Ubuntu 22.04 due to a logic error but this had been fixed?

Is there any way I can get it installed onto my system?

Thanks!

If you checked https://launchpad.net/~danielrichter2007/+archive/ubuntu/grub-customizer you'll have noted *lunar* or 23.04 isn't supported (*yet anyway*).

It is up to the person or group that produces this app to upgrade and make it work with any new version of the Ubuntu OS.

Manually modifying some grub settings is not difficult. You do have to edit a file or two. Customizer replaces all of the grub scripts with its own proxy versions, so has to be updated with every grub change.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
