Title:
  grub2 os selections screen changed after today's updates

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Runinng dual boot XUbuntu 16.04 on an Asus UX303LNB laptop.

  Prior to today's updates, I got the black os selection boot screen,
  then the Xubuntu login prompt.

  Since the updates, I get a blue-turquoise Debian boot screen,with the
  DEbian text covering the instructions of what options I have, followed
  by a long screen of text [OK] thing thing thing...

  At shutdown, I get that long screen of text again...

  I did not install any new software, but this is really not what I
  want.

  I do not have a /etc/default/grub file so it is very hard for me to
  see how to fix this.

  Anyway, it is a bug because it is new, incorrect behavior that I did
  not request...

  I use this PC to showcase Ubuntu and I keep it elegant and clean, but
  this latest thing is really unsightly and makes the OS look very scary
  for just anyone...

  Please help me.
  Thanks,
  Bob
