[GRUB] grub screen displays after last update

[Scorpa54]

I am running Kubuntu as the only OS and prior to yesterday's upgrade grub never showed itself, now it does.
Is there a way to turn it back "off".

See https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/ma...iguration.html for what to change.

No luck, I have set the timeout to 0 and did the cli update for both grub and grub2, no change.

the etc/default/grub is as follows:

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0

That looks correct. And then you did run
sudo update-grub

right?

sudo update-grub and sudo update-grub2

Could this be related to my issue?

What's the timeout in seconds when you first see the menu? If it's 30, it might be the same bug.

BTW, sudo update-grub and sudo update-grub2 are exactly the same thing. The second command only exists to maintain backward compatibility from when grub 2 was new. It's just a link to the first command:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan  9 14:04 /usr/sbin/update-grub2 -> update-grub*

It might be, it just seems very strange that things were fine until the latest dist-upgrade

Ah, yeah, on 1-31-19 (2 days ago), there was an update to GRUB.

Well that makes sense as today was the first reboot since that update.

Circumstantial, but it looks like it may have caused a couple bugs, here and yours (verified by another poster in your thread); so we can be hopeful and watch for another GRUB update very soon.
