This is the test list. Are you using rawhide? On 6/2/26 4:54 PM, George R Goffe via test wrote:
This first boot after an update does NOT display a grub2 menu. The system "thinks" for a while (about 15 seconds; approximately GRUB_TIMEOUT=15. I have changed the grub2 files that influence the fonts chosen some time ago which mostly has been working for almost a year. NONE of these changes are apparent during this first boot and the fonts are ALL REALLY SMALL. I don't know which grub2 entry is being booted because the fonts are too small to readl. Eventually, the system tries to start(?) something which NEVER succeeds.
The default is to not display a menu. You should be able to activate the menu by pressing a key. I like to use something like shift because it doesn't affect the menu. Then you'll be able to see which entry it's trying to boot.
My response is to hold down the power button til the system powers off. Now, I hit the power button and the boot proceeds as usual... with most of the font selection stuff in grub2 process. The system finally comes up and all appears to be ok.
If the boot fails, grub will show the menu on the next boot. Which entry is selected by default? Is that the one you choose?
