This is really, really broken. I'm also using 14.10 and a UEFI BIOS, and until I found this bug report I figured I just wasn't hammering Shift enough or I had selected the wrong boot option.
I need the GRUB menu because I need to add 'nomodeset' so the stupid broken nouveau driver doesn't attempt to drive my modern nvidia card so I can get more than just a blank screen. I could add that option to the installer no problem; GRUB was kind enough to wait for me in that instance. Even a 1-second window for me to hit some non-modifier key would be a huge improvement. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1227365 Title: grub does not appear when holding down shift key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1227365/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
