Title:
  GRUB_TIMEOUT_HIDDEN

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  I am using 10.04.1 LTS (stable) although this most likely applies to
  Maverick as well since it is lacking the same initial screen.

  grub:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 0.97-29ubuntu60
    Version table:
       0.97-29ubuntu60 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages

  grub2:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 1.98-1ubuntu7
    Version table:
       1.98-1ubuntu7 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/universe Packages
       1.98-1ubuntu5 0

  I liked the initial screen that said “GRUB loading. please wait… Press
  Esc to enter the menu…”

  That has been changed with the latest Grub which is not Grub2 but is.
  If you are thoroughly confused, think of this poor dumb user.

  By reading Lucid release notes (everybody always reads all the release
  notes, right?) I discovered that I must hold down the Shfit key.

  Since I liked the visual cue as to when I could press a key to go to
  the menu, I tried to make it reappear by 'sudo gedit
  /etc/default/grub'; changing GRUB_TIMEOUT_HIDDEN=true to
  GRUB_TIMEOUT_HIDDEN=false; then 'sudo update-grub.'

  The update occurred but nothing changed. I expected to have a visual
  cue that I could invoke the menu if I chose, yet still lack one.
