I wasn't sure if my proposal would make any sense, because I don't possess much knowledge about GRUB and booting an operating system. But anyway, my thoughts were as follows (only in case if Ubuntu is the only OS installed, as I already mentioned, in all other use cases the menu should be there to choose another OS than Ubuntu to boot).
Disable the three second delay and let GRUB boot the most recent kernel immediatly. If the most recent kernel fails to boot, pass to GRUB that it should present the user with the menu the next time the system is started again, so the user can choose to start the latest kernel in recovery mode or an older kernel. Concerning the option for starting memtest86 from the GRUB menu, drop that option, because most people will never user it and because a Live CD is downloadable for memtest86 (and it's also accessible from the Ubuntu Live CD). In short, only present the user with the menu if the last kernel which was choosen to boot failed, remove the memtest86 option. -- GRUB's three seconds delay unnecessary if only Ubuntu is installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194730 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
