Text mode boot screen shows when the PC is started. (it shows when for some reason, restart was not done safely, but in remote location I must need to boot the PC on power on)

enter image description here

How can I on power ignore this screen and take the default to boot urgent to Ubuntu?

To disable the Grub boot menu from showing at boot, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Change the Grub timeout

GRUB_TIMEOUT=0

Save and reboot.

  • Mitch: could you review edits and roll back to V3 if needed (not my call as I don't have the experience) @Community: just to inform you...

    @Mitch - I am using Ubuntu 14.04. GRUB_TIMEOUT is already set to 0 in /etc/default/grub. Still the grub menu appears at boot. Any suggestions? Dec 30, 2014 at 18:52
  • @Guanidene did you use sudo update-grub and restart after the change?. Also take a look at GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=0 see this question: askubuntu.com/questions/214972/…
