Press Alt + F2

Type command, gksu gedit /etc/default/grub

change the GRUB_TIMEOUT value to 15 or 20 as required. (value in second)
or Setting timeout to -1 will make GRUB wait indefinitely until you manually select an entry and hit enter,
It should look like

GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

save it. Close gedit. Now open a terminal and run

sudo update-grub
