Hello - could you please copy and paste the exact command you are using?

Before Karmic we used Grub 1, which could be edited with the command: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

(NOTE the space after the word gedit)

Since Karmic we have used Grub 2, which is different and cannot be edited in the same way.

You might look at e.g. a YouTube video called "Editing / Adding Grub 2 Menu Entries (Ubuntu 9.10 and Up)" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDf_fRAophc

In case after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 menu.lst still exists.
Regarding the cmd, space missing between gedit_and_/boot
gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
