I have just upgraded my home constructed desktop to Kubuntu Lucid and
appear to have exactly the same problem; no grub2 menu. After around
10-15 seconds, the KDE splash screen appears and login proceeds as
normal. My hardware includes an HP w1907s LCD Display running at up to
1400x900 res,
I think I remember reading that, by default, the Grub 2 menu does not display
in Ubuntu Jaunty unless you reconfigure it to display. It just defaults to
Ubuntu.
This might only be the case when you have only one OS installed. Can't remember.
In any case, it's failure to appear may be related to
As of Ubuntu 9.10, it's intended behavior that the grub menu is not
shown when Ubuntu is the only OS installed. When other OSes have been
detected, the menu is displayed.
** Package changed: grub (Ubuntu) = grub2 (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)

Hi,
in my desktop since I've installed karmic (and grub 2) the grub menu never show
up during boot. It's automatically boot ubuntu. Luckily ubuntu is my only
operating system so it's not a big deal.
Today I've updated to Lucid and the grub2 menu still doesn't display, lucid
boot automatically
This problem has gone away since Ubuntu Karmic.

Problem occurs under Jaunty with GRUB 1 on a Tecra M7. All
characteristics confirmed. When restarting, GRUB appears. When cold-
booting from full shutdown, GRUB menu is not displayed, though O/S
selection can be performed successfully using the arrow keys even though
the POST splash screen is
Diagnostic mode might work but results in waiting through lots of
diagnostics on every cold start... so not crazy about that option.
FWIW, I've gone to Linux Mint for a while and I do not have this problem with
Mint. I believe the reason has something to do w/the fact that Mint loads a
I have had the same problem with a Toshiba Portege A-600 128 laptop of
a friend whom I installed Ubuntu (trying to convert her from Windows).
On cold boot the grub menu did not appear.
I am writing just to let you know that on another discussion in
Ubuntuforums, held in 2007, somebody has found
I can report this problem is also occurring on my Toshiba Satellite Pro S300
s2504. Restart pauses at Grub menu, but cold start... just a brief flash of
sort of white screen and some garbage characters... then Ubuntu loads.
I haven't yet tried upgrading to grub2, but will look into it.

This might be a clue: when I first installed Ubuntu (Jaunty) on my PC, it had
been Windows machine and I did not alter the partition table. I'm 99% sure
that cold restarts at that time present Grub normally. Later, I decided to do a
clean install w/ a different partition scheme so I re-created
Installed Grub2. Skipped the chain-loading thing... and apparently avoided any
bugs in the install process (if there are any of those left).
That went without a hitch, but it does not fix the problem on my machine.
What happens now...
1) Cold restart... after the initial Toshiba screen,
Thanks for your detective work, finding the dup and the work around.

testing if grub2 fixes their problem:
