[EN] [SOLVED] How to enable grub2 boot-loader menu page?

[piper]

What happens when you run

Code: [Select]

dpkg-reconfigure gruband would like to see

Code: [Select]

ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/

EDIT: I would try this first, change

Code: [Select]

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5to

Code: [Select]

GRUB_TIMEOUT=10and then do as root

Code: [Select]

update-grubreboot and see if the 10 seconds makes any difference, this has not happened to me, but doing some google reading I have seen it happen to others (booting with windows only) and the 10 seconds helped.

SHAZAM!  dibl, you've solved my problem!
The deletion of one # has done it.
My grub menu page shows, and both siduction and Win7 will boot.

I'm sorry for all the exercise I've given you and ayla and piper, but I'm also very grateful.

Thank you all very much.

I couldn't posssibly enjoy running sid without the great forum support from knoppix>kanotix>sidux> aptosid>siduction.

Excellent.  Now please go to the original post and put a "SOLVED" in front of the title, so others can follow our little adventure.  Thanks!

I am glad your problem is fixed, although I don't see why that actually fixed it

I'm sorry for all the exercise I've given you and ayla and piper, but I'm also very grateful.

No problem at all, that's what a community is all about !

Mate, if I could, I surely would. But I don't know how.
Entschuldigen Sie, bitte.

This is so simple once you know how to do it.  ;-)

Go to your original post and you should see an icon on the lower right that says 'edit' (just to the right of 'quote').  From there you can edit your post including the subject line.  Type in "[solved]" at the front of the subject line.  I've had to modify (truncate or change) my subject line to get it to fit as the subject field is (appropriately) limited to a certain number of characters.

The only 'convention' that I am relatively certain of is that "solved" should be at the lead of the subject.  I believe it should be contained in brackets, but I've seen parentheses used as well.  As far as case is concerned, I typically use all lower case.

Hunkirdowne has said it correctly, but I have used my mod power to take care of it.

@piper that Phillips monitor apparently can't display the default graphical-mode screens from the Intel GPU, so we disabled graphical mode and put the menu in character mode.

[timc]

I like my menu better in the character mode, too. Mine works in graphical mode, but the characters are tiny and squiggly, very hard to actually read. So, I thank you too, dibl. Greatest tip ever!

I second timc's statement! Thank's to all involved here.

Thanks dibl, just never knew anyone that actually had to do this and never had to do a search for it.

@dibl:

Thank you for doing my "solved" edit for me.
Your identifying my rather old monitor as the root of the problem was pretty astute.

@HunkirDowne:
I thank you too for the post editing howto.

I'm sorry to pick that scab, but ...
The only thing that shows on my screen at post bottom-right, and at right of the quote icon is an up-pointed arrow (Back to top).
I don't see an "edit" icon.

I don't see an "edit" icon.

It's visible only if you're logged in.

Oi, weh !  :oops:  I can see!

Thank you, michaa7.
