No grub boot screen on startup

[shaggytwodope]

Anyone have any inout on this please?

As I stated, I can boot LL but there is no grub splash scree, it just goes directly to LL, even thhough I have Windows 10 on another partition.

When I want to boot either OS, I have to enter the bios boot options and select the appropriate OS.

Is there a way to enable a boot grub splash screem so I can select either OS at startup?

Thanks!

Since your able to boot into linuxlite, boot into it and run these commands and steps. But let me start with a warning, your messing with your bootmanager. And it's dangerous at any stage to manually edit these things. Only edit What I mention, and be careful. Backup any data, both for linux and your windows install.

Fire up a terminal and type this, entering your sudo password ofc when prompted.

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub

At this point we're going to make grub give a timer for the grub menu. So you can just let it boot to it's default, selecting an os only when you need to. Find the line GROUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT and change it to =10. This is in seconds and you can adjust to what you want. Maybe =5 for a 5 sceond timer.

Code:

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=10

Next you wanna stop grub from being hidden, basicly you just change the option from true to false. 

Code:

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false

These are the ONLY two options you needed to edit. Save the file and exit.

Now run:

Code:

sudo update-grub

That command updates grub to use your config changes, its important to run that command when any changes to grub is made.

Finally, your presented with a countdown now when booting, to select/view the grub menu simply press the shift key at boot. This should be all you need assuming grub and all the autmated tools have done their job.
