Package: grub2-common Version: 2.02~beta2-15 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
normally it's possible with Grub to use > GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 > GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 in /etc/default/grub to have Grub hidden during normal boots with the default boot entry being selected immediately. To my knowledge this is also the fastest way to boot with Grub. If you really want to select or modify some entry you can hold the shift key while booting. Then, the menu is shown and the counter stopped. Since some time (might be months, might be days) the shift key does not work anymore in testing. This is an important problem if your system does not boot anymore due to linux command line settings, which cannot be changed, as the Grub entry cannot be modified, which could be solved with a downloaded rescue disk, which cannot be downloaded as this is the system providing the internet connection ... As a workaround I set GRUB_TIMEOUT to 1 and commented GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT. But this does increase boot time and boot flicker, so is probably not the recommended way for Jessie. I think I could bisect the Debian Grub packages if that would be helpful.
