Usually, when GRUB has no different OS to show in the menu, it's configured hidden to boot faster. If you want to discover the menu, you must hold [Shift] key at boot manager stage.A bit confused here... are you talking about the Ubuntu boot option in GRUB? No, that in itself was/is(currently) fine and working. The menu I'm talking about is the BIOS boot device manager/window that comes up by entering BIOS Boot Options/holding F12 after POST. The entry to boot to "ubuntu"(The HDD where Ubuntu-Gnome is on) was gone, with only the HDD model(as mentioned previously) option remaining.If you are talking about the efi boot manager, I think that entry should be added at install time (and not touched again), though not entirely sure.

Don't know anything about GRUB, so I'm not sure. I just generated the logs via boot-repair GUI app from a flash drive both before and after the new GRUB install. I didn't mess with the drive other than that.
Attempting to boot to the HDD model option after "ubuntu" goes missing just boots to Windows. I'm guessing that is because it couldn't find an OS on the HDD so it went to my default boot option, which was my Windows 7 HDD... AFAIK, my install of Ubuntu-Gnome itself is fine. Every time I've reinstalled GRUB via boot-repair it always lets me boot back into the OS with no problems, but eventually goes missing again... even months later apparently.El 28/03/16 a les 02:32, Ty Young ha escrit:On 03/27/2016 04:24 AM, Narcis Garcia wrote:Do you want to use GRUB With or Without Windows?

If you already boot to GNU/Linux (Ubuntu), the command "update-grub" will rebuild menu's entries with plugged volumes that have operating systems.I removed my Windows HDD and did update-grub and I can still boot into Ubuntu Gnome.

A reproducible bug is much better than one that says "things break after a random reboot"!Just update-grub? No special arguments/options? I'll try that tomorrow and see what happens. Yeah, sorry about that. I said that because I have no clue what could be causing it. I hadn't installed any grub updates in a long time and I've only recently upgraded the kernel to 4.5, the only times I would think update-grub would run. I swear this has happened without even installing updates before though. Guess I'll found out tomorrow when I run it...I run Windows 7 and Ubuntu Gnome on separate hard drives. I had unplugged the Windows 7 HDD for the boot-repair. Don't think so since it happens when restarting from Ubuntu Gnome and never from Windows 7 to Ubuntu Gnome if the option was there before restarting Ubuntu Gnome.OK, its probably not from windows thenIf it matters any, I get a duplicate UEFI entry for Ubuntu, named after the hard drive model(Model: ST3750528AS). If i select it, the screen flashes blue and enters grub as normal(or looks normal, anyway).I don't have any UEFI hardware still, so not entirely sure about this. But I believe the UEFI entries are added by the OS, maybe you can use efibootmgr to remove the dupe. No idea if this is causing your issues though.
