A quick work-around is to change the line in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober at ~line 28 that says if [ "x${found_other_os}" = "x" ] ; then to if [ true ] ; then Probably the better method would be to create a new option in /etc/default/grub so it's easy to enable the menu if dual booters wish to

Here is some more info for people still unable to hide the menu via the normal entries in /etc/default/grub. Earlier I suggested adding "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true" I've now found a way to keep os-prober active and to get the hidden menu and hidden timeout features. Open /etc/grub.d/00_header a

Confirmed, only one little change on the /etc/default/grub file force the menu without configurable timeout settings. I tried 0 and 1 as timeout here. GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=1 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debia

I have the same problem. I had a fresh install of Karmic RC, and the menu was hidden out of the box. Then I edited /etc/default/grub (to add acpi=off) and now I can't get rid of the menu no matter what. GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER didn't work for me. My current settings are: GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_HIDDE

Yes, doing that worked, but with the (little-lamented) loss of my WinXP boot menu entry. In any case an easy way to get that back was to re- enable the os-prober, run update-grub, then copy the winxp menu entry to the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom. That's just my workaround for now; ideally we want

Yes, I've always seen the grub2 menu here, since installing the alpha, right up to date. I *do* have another OS installed; the Windows XP the machine originally came with (that I never use, but it *is* there...) Also there's a pile of menu entries for most if not all of the past kernel versions s

Jonathan, I run a 64-bit desktop with only Ubuntu releases and a 32-bit laptop with XP and Karmic. The Desktop hides the menu fine, the laptop hidden menu still doesn't work. The only difference in the setups other than 32/64 bit is that the one which refuses to hide the menu is dual booting with

Just curious, but for people who are unable to have a hidden menu, do you have more than 1 OS on your computer? It seems like update-grub is not correctly pulling the value of GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT into grub.cfg. Is anyone with only Karmic installed on their machine experiencing this bug of not bein
