GRUB stops at menu after power cut

[snkkid]

Hi,

I know this is a little late but I think it is better to make your recordfail modification in :

/etc/grub.d/00_header

and after do a

sudo update-grub

because the /boot/grub/grub.cfg will be crushed by future update-grub command you can do.

Sorry for my english

So, what does the recordfail test do?

I ask because I did apply the suggested change and noticed the grub menu is no longer being shown.

Thanks Jordang for the solution!!

And to complete it and preserve the changes after updates i've fount an alternative to the solution proposed by snkkid that i think is better because if you upgrade the grub package, the file "/etc/grub.d/00_header" can be overwritten.

Just edit the file "/etc/default/grub" and add a line like "GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=10" (anything greater than 0), upgrading grub does not modify nothing and the problem is solved for ever

sorry for my english and happy new year

Or you can add

GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=1

into

/etc/default/grub

and then regenerate the grub.cfg with

sudo grub-mkconfig

Bye

A friend found a solution.

in grub.cfg
****
terminal_output gfxterm
if [ "${recordfail}" = 1 ]; then
set timeout=-1
****
-1 should be 0 .

It works.

Now the only problem is that in case of kernel update, it will execute update-grub I think, which will overwrite this change. It is not that big problem.
