GRUB is not displaying on boot, no GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT

I have GRUB v 2.8.9 (Ubuntu 18.10). I want to install Remix OS in dual boot. I created an entry for Remix OS with GRUB Customizer. But when I'm trying to boot, I don't have any GRUB menu appearing.



So, I tried to fix that by editing /etc/default/grub, but there's no line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT. I do have GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE="hidden" and GRUB_TIMEOUT="0".



How can I show my GRUB on boot?

  • @MohammadC i must comment line "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT" to solve this problem, but if i add this line in code, and comment it, then, either first variant nor second will not work, because both in 2 variants this line of code will not be compiling

Below are my GRUB settings, which do what you want. Make a backup of your /etc/default/grub file and try mine to see if does what you want.



Don't forget to run sudo update-grub any time you edit the file...



I noticed my GRUB_TIMEOUT line doesn't have quotes and




  • 0 means do not time out so skips menu,

  • postive number means skip menu after the given number of secs and

  • -1 means don't skip.


Also try removing the quotes from GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE. Also try setting that to menu, not countdown or hidden.



Check out the documentation to see what each setting does.



I think these are the main settings you need.



GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1


My current /etc/default/grub



GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/Aurora-Penguinis-GRUB2/theme.txt
