Public bug reported:
This concerns grub-pc 2.02-2ubuntu8.2 in Ubuntu 18.04/bionic.
I have GRUB configured to do a five-second countdown (no menu) on boot:
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=countdown
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
Strangely enough, on a "Dell Precision Workstation" PC that I have here,
the "5" appears on boot but does not begin counting down until I press a
key. If I don't do anything, the countdown remains stuck. Other systems
I have tested on do not show this behavior.
Obviously, this could be a real problem for a system that does not have
convenient console access.
