[Bug 1827203] Re: 2.02+dfsg1-12ubuntu2: terminal not initialised in GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu

[Sebastien Bacher]

Could you give some details on the installation? Is it using bios or uefi mode?
Do you have only one OS installed? (likely, otherwise you would get the menu without having to change the configuration)

Could you add your boot log to the bug?

It's a bit weird that menu works in case of multiple OS installed but
that it's behaving differently changing the config?

** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)

Title:
  2.02+dfsg1-12ubuntu2: terminal not initialised in
  GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since the update to 2.02+dfsg1-12ubuntu2 my grub menu is no longer
  visible, specifically the bios vendor splash is maintained right
  through grub to plymouth.  I am (perhaps) unsual in that I have the
  menu always enabled:

    GRUB_DEFAULT=0
    GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
    GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

  A downgrade to 2.02+dfsg1-12ubuntu1 restores the terminal.

  It looks very much like the changes in the patch below are
  insufficient for the menu activation to initialise the terminal:

    * debian/patches/efi-console-set-text-mode-as-needed.patch: in EFI console,
      only set text-mode when we're actually going to need it.
