No Grub menu!?

[P4man]

you can change both grub and usplash settings in startupmanager afaik. At least for grub2.

Anyway, for grub2:

For legacy grub, Im not sure how (or if its even possible).

is it possible you are using grub2...in which case i don't think menu.lst is used

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2:

While the main grub bootloader file continues to reside in the /boot/grub folder, it is no longer Grub's familiar menu.lst. The main Grub 2 instruction file is now grub.cfg. This file is produced by various scripts run when either the "update-grub" or "update-grub2" command is executed. The files primarily responsible for the content of grub.cfg are /etc/default/grub and individual script files located in /etc/grub.d/

Nope.

Then why do you have this line?

title Chainload into GRUB 2
root afabfa9a-c18d-42e1-bfc3-bc087cdd9b89
kernel /boot/grub/core.img
savedefault

That's a remmnant from a forner grub 2 test install. I'm sure it doesn't matter since I'm booting from the first kernel line.

[lavinog]

So you installed grub2 at some point.
How did you uninstall it?

How do you know you are booting from the first kernel line...you have "default saved" set

what does /boot/grub/default say the saved default is?

also what does this say:

uname -a

I wonder if reinstalling grub would work.

sudo cat /boot/grub/default
[sudo] password for mrmedia:
