I'm sorry, I didn't realize that comment was something that would expire this bug, and I hadn't had time to try it out.
I am now on 14.10, using EFI boot with grub2 2.02~beta2-15 and the symptoms have not changed except that the screen where the menu *would* appear is now solid purple, instead of a purple outline with a black center. So far as I am concerned there has been no improvement. This is not 2.02~beta2-19, I'll see what I can do to test that. I am reluctant to spend too much time fiddling with my boot loader on this machine as it is a machine I require for daily use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1318865 Title: The grub boot menu is often not drawn or visible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1318865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
