Only show GRUB when requested

Can the GRUB be set to operate like Os X, where by it only shows when specifically requested by a start up key or command before retart?


Solution 1:

Holding down SHIFT after your bios logo appears makes grub menu appear if it's hidden. To make it hidden you need to edit /etc/default/grub with your favourite editor and add the following or remove the # if already exists

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

save and quit, then run sudo update-grub
