No Grub2 menu displayed?

Spooter · 12 Apr 2010 at 10:53

Hi all,

Installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my netbook and it works fine but it boots straight into ubuntu without displaying the grub menu.

How do I change this as I need to boot into recovery mode to make some changes.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply,

I have tried changing the timeout value but made no difference.

Any other ideas?

Afraid that only applies to Grub not Grub2.

Worked a treat.

Thanks very much.

Just got to workout why Recovery kernel doesnt load now!?!

It should be. All I have done is install ubuntu (from USB onto my new netbook) and use the entire disk option.

Its fresh install so I would expect it to be correct. It almost starts to load then stops after 3 lines of text. Ill check what is says when I get home.

I need the recovery console so I can run dpkg-reconfigure psb-kernel-source to enable the GMA 500 video chipset on my Acer Aspire One 751.
