Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
I am using 10.04.1 LTS (stable) although this most likely applies to
Maverick as well since it is lacking the same initial screen.
grub:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 0.97-29ubuntu60
Version table:
0.97-29ubuntu60 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
grub2:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.98-1ubuntu7
Version table:
1.98-1ubuntu7 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/universe Packages
1.98-1ubuntu5 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages
I liked the initial screen that said “GRUB loading. please wait… Press
Esc to enter the menu…”
That has been changed with the latest Grub which is not Grub2 but is. If
you are thoroughly confused, think of this poor dumb user.
By reading Lucid release notes (everybody always reads all the release
notes, right?) I discovered that I must hold down the Shfit key.
Since I liked the visual cue as to when I could press a key to go to the
menu, I tried to make it reappear by 'sudo gedit /etc/default/grub';
changing GRUB_TIMEOUT_HIDDEN=true to GRUB_TIMEOUT_HIDDEN=false; then
'sudo update-grub.'
The update occurred but nothing changed. I expected to have a visual cue
that I could invoke the menu if I chose, yet still lack one.
