I'm well aware and I do know how to do this. HOWEVER, when the boot blackscreens, the only way to actually edit /etc/default/grub is a process that requires booting with a usb and mounting the drive via the command line. This isn't an optimal way of doing this, and it is beyond any but advanced users. The 'nomodeset' parameter allows a boot to a desktop, but the inability to bring up the grub menu to actually add it, in a simple way, is a major problem, and as I said, is exclusive to mac users. Only ubuntu can 'fix' this. And, as I've already written, distributions that do not hide grub, when linux is the only installed OS, do not have this problem. This is a problem with how the Ubuntu developers have decided to implement the grub menu. The fix is to not hide grub, for single installs, if the detected hardware is Apple. Only the Ubuntu developers can fix this. > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2002766 Title: On Apple laptops, no key will make a hidden GRUB screen visible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/2002766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
