[Bug 1836934] Re: eoan boot hides grub menu

[Alan Griffiths]

apport information

** Description changed:

  I dual boot several Ubuntu versions and have edited /etc/default/grub to
  show them on boot (and default to the last used).
  
  When eoan installs grub I no longer see the grub menu listing them
  during boot.
  
  Holding the shift key doesn't help.
  
  Although not displayed the menu seems to be active as I can select
  another install by using the cursor keys and enter.
  
  Reinstalling and updating grub from 18.04 restores normality - once I've found 18.04 by guessing where it is on the (hidden) boot menu.

Title:
  eoan boot hides grub menu

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I dual boot several Ubuntu versions and have edited /etc/default/grub
  to show them on boot (and default to the last used).

  When eoan installs grub I no longer see the grub menu listing them
  during boot.

  Holding the shift key doesn't help.

  Although not displayed the menu seems to be active as I can select
  another install by using the cursor keys and enter.

  Reinstalling and updating grub from 18.04 restores normality - once I've found 18.04 by guessing where it is on the (hidden) boot menu.
