Hi, sorry for the delay -- I was out of the country when this was asked, and lost track of it by the time I had returned.
The system does boot without navigating the menu. The menu simply does not appear onscreen and it is difficult to get it to come up. I have manually changed nothing related to grub. I am now running 15.04, and this problem persists, except that the screen border nor background changes color; it simply stays black. -- 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
