[Bug 699802] Re: error:: no video mode activated

[Bib]

Post #62 from drs305 fixed the fleeting message for me too, 12.04, grub
1.99, GRUB_TERMINAL[_OUTPUT]=console, with force menu to show, i.e. no
submenu, with help of GRUB_TIMEOUT=2, and commenting these 4 lines near
the end of /etc/grub.d/10_linux:

# if [ "$list" ] && ! $in_submenu; then
#  echo "submenu \"Previous Linux versions\" {"
#  in_submenu=:
# fi
