http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, For some reason my laptop is not showing my hidden grub menu, either the splash to let you know that grub has loaded or the menu itself by pressing the escape key. This is my current /etc/default/grub: Code: # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. # For full documentation of the options in this file, see: #  info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration' #GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=1 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false #GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GR (Hardware)

Stories similar to [lubuntu] Grub2 not showing hidden menu! ???

I am running Ubuntu 12.04.

I cannot for the life of me get the grub menu (with options) to go away.

I would like it to auto-boot into the first option.

When I try to do a ctr-alt f(1-6) in ubuntu 12.10 I only get a black screen with a blinking cursor but no login prompt. Any ideas on what could be wrong? It is a fresh install of 12.10 using a amd radeon 5850 graphics card.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed along side of windows 7.

The grub menu doesn't seem obey GRUB_TIMEOUT=10, I see the grub menu there for a split second and it immediately defaults to the first option.

Grub menu worked fine when I first installed ubuntu. I am not able to pinpoint what exactly broke it(maybe some update?).

GRUB hidden menu not working 9 weeks 4 days ago

The hidden menu option isn't working. I have /etc/default/grub configured as follows:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=10

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5

GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know why my Grub2 is showing the comments at the bottom - and possibly the grub 2 version at the top - in an eastern European character set or language?

Here's my /etc/defaults/grub file:

Code: GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=1 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_SAVEDEFAUL

I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed with full disk encryption (fresh install), the issue is that the GRUB menu is always displayed, I am not able to set the timeout to 0 and default it to Ubuntu. I only have one OS installed, there is no need for the GRUB menu, also there is no timer on the menu, i.e its displayed forever until I select Ubuntu.

I recently upgraded Ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10 and since that time, the system does not automatically boot.

Hi all,

My system seems to have Grub 1.99 and I want to change the default kernel.

I thought I could do it like this:

Code: vi /etc/default/grub GRUB_DEFAULT=0 in order to always choose the first entry on my list.

I also tried:

Code: vi /etc/default/grub GRUB_DEFAULT=’Fedora (3.3.0)’ My reference is section 5.1 here: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/man...-configurati
