I'm baffled by what's stopping grub from timing out on the menu.
This started after I installed ubuntu-desktop.
On a reboot, grub halts on the menu - only have one ubuntu 12.04 option. Never times out. Have to hit return for it to continue.

Attached is my /etc/default/grub file. Have googled for all the grub halt topics. Any help appreciated.

Found problem. Had installed 12.04 with LVM. Had replaced /etc/fstab from 11.04 installation that didn't have LVM. Lost the mapping of the boot partition.
My update-grub changes were applied to the LVM partition and not the boot partition.
