Grub Menu Won't Load on Shift

Kromes · 2016-09-23 01:19:17

Hey all,

I finally set up grub the way I wanted it, with the menu neatly hidden away unless I press shift. The thing is, I press shift and I get a message: GRUB LOADING...

Great, except my laptop proceeds to boot without showing grub for an instant.

I use my Linux mint partition as my main grub and it chain loads into arch. I've used the grub tweak tool to set my default as arch. I have a few options set up to get it to behave, such as grub_force_hidden_menu and I'm wondering if there's perhaps a simple fix to this.

I've tried spamming esc and holding shift. Esc has no effect AFAIK, shift gets me the message I want but not the behaviour. Will post diagnostics (boot info script? Let me know what info would help) in the morning if it isn't as simple as I hope it is.

Many thanks,

Kromes

I can't seem to be able to update the grub on arch linux. I've been running

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

with my grub hidden menu option set to false and with a timeout, but I can't unhide the grub menu. Previously i could load the arch gruband press Esc, which would revert back to the Mint grub.

My aim when fixing was for arch to load without a prompt, but for the Mint grub to load the prompt. But whilst experimenting i ended up booting straight into arch and i can't seem to fix it!

Here are the results from bootinfoscript:

Your partitions are confusing. Could you please label them?

Help me make sense of this.
Your partitions are laid out in the order sda1 sda2 sda4 <sda7 sda8 sda5 sda6 sda9> sda3
Partitions 1-3 appear to be for Windows (the loader, OS, and Recovery OS it seems).
Partition 4 creates an extended partition, with your logical Linux-related partitions (5-9) within.
Partition 5 is a tiny (512MiB?) partition which holds a mysterious /grub2/grub.cfg that looks to be for Fedora? No idea how that works.... It also has a Windows entry.
Partition 6 has what appears to be a /boot partition holding your /grub/grub.cfg for Arch Linux.
Partition 7 has what looks to be your Arch Linux root filesystem. The /etc/fstab from that partition would mount sda6 on /boot, sda7 on /, and have sda8 used for swap.
Partition 8 is a swap partition, which looks to be for both Arch Linux and Linux Mint?
Partition 9 looks to be your Linux Mint partition. It has no separate /boot partition. sda9 is /, sda8 is swap. The /boot/grub/grub.cfg has a single Linux Mint menuentry, a Windows10 menuentry, and a custom Arch Linux menuentry.

Is this correct?

I noticed that for the Arch config on sda6, there appears to be a 5-second timeout and a default [menu choice] of "0", which would (IIRC) be the first choice.
For the Linux Mint config file on sda9, the timeout appears set to 0. It has the "default" choice set to "Arch Linux", so logically it would execute the custom "Arch Linux" menuentry. The menuentry specifies a configfile which loads from /boot/grub/grub.cfg after $root is set to partition 7.... If the config is stored on sda6, then how does it find it using the UUID for partition 7? Arch couldn't possibly be booting without it, so is there any chance that you have a grub.cfg file hidden on sda7, which you don't know about because /boot is mounted over top of it? Systemd will mount over non-empty directories, so it might be wise to unmount /boot when in Arch and check if something hidden is there.
If you run sudo journalctl -b, you can find whether this is possibly the case if systemd prints a message regarding boot similar to this:

systemd[1]: tmp.mount: Directory /tmp to mount over is not empty, mounting anyway.

If this is not the case, then it means I probably misunderstood the grub syntax. In that case, you could try posting the /etc/grub.d and /etc/default/grub files from each system, and we can go from there.

Okay I ran an update and lts kernel updated. Now it won't boot. I was told to switch to the lts kernel when my laptop wouldn't boot before to avoid running an out of date system. Now I updated it and it doesn't work. Any fixes that don't involve downgrading the kernel?

promarbler14 · 2016-09-25 17:47:18

It seems I ninja'd you. In what way will it "not boot"? Does it give any indication as to what the issue is? Any messages? Or just a blank screen? Are you sure you're booting the lts kernel?

Kromes · 2016-09-25 17:53:56

Definitely the lts kernel I removed the normal one, the kernel loads and then there's a blank screen indefinitely where the lightdm usually loads. I didn't configure a xinit file but previously I didn't need one. There's just a flashing line in the top left corner that disappears and reappears.

Unfortunately I can't access grub so I think I'll need to downgrade the kernel.

Kromes · 2016-09-25 17:55:57

From what I could tell your breakdown of the partitions seems correct, but some of the partitions were made by the install wizards and I'm not too sure how they work. At this stage I'd feel a lot safer if I can boot into windows or mint as a back up.

promarbler14 · 2016-09-25 18:00:26

... Are you able to boot the system at all? If you can (perhaps with your Arch install medium), then check for a hidden grub.cfg like I mentioned, or, perhaps, edit the Linux Mint /boot/grub/grub.cfg and (temporarily) set the two lines with 'set timeout=0' before "### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ###" to be "set timeout=10" instead. This should allow you to see the GRUB screen long enough for you to respond.

Here's a video of my boot
https://youtu.be/qlB2XzCCcTk

promarbler14 · 2016-09-25 18:47:26

Can you TTY-switch? (ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f2, etc...) Or if you've enabled it, can you REISUB? It would kill the X server if it hasn't hung the system...

EDIT: I just tried the LTS kernel myself, and lightdm starts fine for me. (DRM seems to still be buggy in the LTS version... it crashes when I log in more than one graphical user, then TTY switch...)

I would downgrade the kernel. (Or, if possible, try and compile the 4.8-rc kernel; it's amazing for me.)

Kromes · 2016-09-26 12:52:26

Okay I've found a solution but don't know how/why things work this way.

I used my live installation media to edit the grub.cfg file and get into Mint. In mint I ran a grub configuration tool, "Grub Customiser". This ended up creating a second entry for arch linux in the Mint grub which allows me to boot directly into Arch instead of chainloading into the arch grub. Arch boots without any problems this way.

If this chainloading worked previously but doesn't after a kernel update, my initial thought is that somewhere along the line the kernel doesn't load properly and the grub points to a different kernel. This doesn't appear to be the case (the video shows the kernel loading, right?) so I have no idea how one grub "just works" and the other doesn't. It works but it's hardly solved. I will test TTY-switching and REISUB to see what works and what doesn't.

Does this shed any light on the differences in configuration? I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

sda7: __________________________________________________________________________

    File system:       ext4
    Boot sector type:  -
    Boot sector info: 
    Operating System:  Arch Linux ()
    Boot files:        /etc/fstab

Run Arch Linux and give feedback if you are able to:
a/ fully upgrade system:

pacman -Syyu

b/ generate Grub2 configuration file:

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

If file /boot/grub/grub.cfg will be created - just inform Linux Mint Grub2 where to find Arch Linux grub.cfg file - append to Mint's /etc/grub.d/40_custom:

menuentry "Arch Linux" {
insmod ext2
search --set=root  --fs-uuid  9cb10d82-c19c-493c-800a-5cea3c554d5c --hint hd0,msdos7
configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
}

I wrote you the same thing here (and further posts):
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 9#p1653139 .
Generating grub.cfg does not equal Grub2 code installation in any MBR nor EFI target, but if you want to have correct grub.cfg Arch Linux' file - package grub must be installed.

Arch Linux
