[Bug 1863434] Re: 20.04 grub menu not visible

[Fritz Hudnut]

@Alexey:

In my case on my '12 cMP that "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" as already set
that way, so that wasn't "the solution" to a problem that has been
affecting likely "EFI" boot computers for a year or more??

In my case I use my OpenSUSE installs to re-install grub2 . . . and that
restores grub function, but they have slightly different commands than
on the ubuntu side of things.  But, possibly if you scroll up to #86
comment, I did just check in Launchpad and see that indeed grub 2.06 is
there as tar.gz file  . . . and he suggested that as the way to "fix"
the problem, which indeed appears to be "shim" related.

Another way I tried was to do a fresh install of a distro, that will
also re-install grub, but then, if still in grub 2.04 in another install
. . . likely will wipe grub menu again, etc.
