Booting Issue

[Mike_Hughes]

My Ubuntu Server 14.04 was booting fine. When I turned it on it would go through and boot. Now for some reason it gets to a screen that says GNU GRUB and sets there at 3 choices. *Ubuntu, Advanced options for Ubuntu and System setup. Before it would bring this screen up wait and if nothing was done would continue to boot up. I would like to have it do that again. How can I get that back?

Mike_Hughes; Hello;

You do not say, but, ubuntu does boot when you press enter with *ubuntu selected ?
That condition can happen IF ubuntu did not start properly on the former startup, OR maybe there has occurred a mishap in grub's config file ?
Show us the file that might be of question:


cat /etc/default/grub


a simple look at the

Here is what the cat /etc/default/grub got me:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=2
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Mike_Hughes; Humm ..

I really do not see a problem :
this:


GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

Says do not display the menu;
and this:


GRUB_TIMEOUT=2

Says you have 2 seconds to change your mind from booting the default selection;

What results:


sudo update-grub

and rebooting twice ?
On the 2nd boot, is the performance as expected ?



grub, it do be a complex system
