Enable GRUB menu

Sometimes the GRUB menu is hidden by default on boot, you should enable it changing the GRUB configuration.

sudo vi /etc/default/grub
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You should set the timeout seconds, and comment out the default style.

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
#GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Once you've made all the changes, you should apply them by running the following command.

sudo update-grub
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
