I'd like to access my Grub Menu at boot by pressing Shift.
After I press Shift I see a message saying "Grub loading.."
but then no menu appears and the computer keeps booting normally
into my Ubuntu Installation.
Do you know how I can access the Grub Menu at boot?
Thanks a lot for your help!
The issue is solved by modifying the parameter GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT in the /etc/default/grub file (need to be super user to modify it), and (as always to apply configuration changes made in this file) running sudo update-grub.
Changing the value from 0 to some positive value allows to enter the GRUB menu by pressing Shift during boot.
For those not familiar with updating your GRUB settings:
gksu gedit /etc/default/grub.GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT line as above, save it, and close gedit.sudo update-grub. You can now restart.If you want from the GUI
To open the terminal:
Open Dash (Super Key) or Applications and type terminal
For older or Ubuntu versions:
Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
Then type the command gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
and then change the value in GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT as above.
Save it and close the editor.
and run sudo update-grub in the terminal.
