[Bug 389930] Re: grub menu skipped after shutdown
OK here is the update. After the poweroff and restart the Toshiba logo comes up (it's a Toshiba Tecra A9) and then it goes straight to booting linux without ever showing the grub menu as described above. However, it seems that grub IS actually running invisibly when the Toshiba logo is showing but it just can't get hold of the screen. I tested this by using the down arrow and pressing enter to boot into windows instead of linux. So, whatever part of the system attempts to display the grub menu to the screen doesn't work after a poweroff (-P), but does work after a restart (-r). Any ideas how to tackle this? Looks like maybe the BIOS is not initialising something properly, at a guess. -- grub menu skipped after shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Boot logging using bootlogd does not work in jaunty so I have attached /var/log/dmesg instead.

Thanks again. Let's check the bot logs and see if any messages are coming up. To enable boot logging, follow the instructions at the first post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=49925 Then attach one log after you shutdown with 'shutdown -h now' and one log with 'shutdown -r now' Comparing these two might give us a view as to what's stopping grub. -- grub menu skipped after shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

'shutdown -h now' shows the shutdown behaviour I describe above. That is grub does not load when I start up the computer afterwards. 'shutdown -r now' loads grub .

[Bug 389930] Re: grub menu skipped after shutdown
Thanks for the comments. I'm also assigning this to the grub package. Please check the updated description and make sure it accurately describes your bug. If you shutdown through the terminal by typing: shutdown now -r does the grub menu load when you reboot? Also, does grub load normally ever (do you dual boot normally)?

The power icon in the far top right on the gnome panel is the one I am referring to. When I click on it I have the following options Guest session, lock session, Log Out, Suspend, Hibernate, Restart, Shutdown This is the first install of linux on this laptop.

Thanks for the report and helping to make Ubuntu better. I am unable to reproduce your symptoms. When I click on the power icon, the only options I have are "suspend" and "hibernate." Did this work in previous versions or is it a regression?
