I have an old Fujitsu Lifebook P701 running Ubuntu 20.04 which is experiencing the issue. The laptop doesn't dual-boot and runs Ubuntu only.
@orlapa's link was very helpful. "GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu" was already set in /etc/default/grub so I added in back in the "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" entry. After regenerating the GRUB config and rebooting, the GRUB menu now shows in text mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863434 Title: 20.04 grub menu not visible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1863434/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
