I have recently dual booted Ubuntu 20.04 on my Dell Vostro laptop with Windows 10. Everything is working fine except the fact that when i switch on my laptop, GRUB is not coming up to allow me to choose what to boot into. It straight up boots into Windows. If before boot i press F2 and enter Boot options menu (without making any changes) and press Esc then during the reboot GRUB comes up, thats the only indirect way i can access Ubuntu by entering Boot options menu every time. I have moved Ubuntu to the top in Boot order as well as turned off Fast boot and hibernation (following some articles) but nothing seems to work. TL;DR: Ubuntu dual boot with Windows 10 wont show GRUB menu automatically during first startup.
Had Ubuntu for about 2 weeks now, be working perfectly with no issues. Haven't turned my laptop on in a 2-3 days. Went to turn it on today and I'm met with the GRUB command menu.
Typing "Boot" tells me I need to load the "Kernel" first. I've fished around online and found it's common when you have a duel boot with another OS... Which I don't, so kinda not sure how to go about fixing it.
I'm on a Dell inspiron 15 7559 gaming laptop that had windows 10 originally until 2 weeks ago when I USB booted Ubuntu and did a full install as my primary OS, like windows is gone, like gone gone. Not even an option to boot to it in the BIOs menu.
What I've been trying is this
"
Cause: boot process can't find the root partition
Solution
Please type ls
This will show all partitions, and then type individual
ls (hd0,1)/ ls (hd0,2)/
... and so on, until you find like
(hd0,1)/boot/grub
or (hd0,1)/grub
In case of EFI,
(hd0,1)/efi/boot/grub
or (hd0,1)/efi/grub
... now set the boot parameters accordingly, just type this with your number
set prefix=(hd0,1)/grub set root=(hd0,1) insmod linux insmod normal normal
now it would boot and please open the Terminal and put this command line
sudo update-grub
... it should boot correctly in the next time. If not, you have to go through the steps again. In other case, you might have to repair or install grub again
"
which I got from here https://askubuntu.com/questions/883992/stuck-at-grub-command-line
But it isn't working. Below is what I am typing and seeing.
grub> boot
error: you need to load the kernel first.
grub> ls
(proc) (hd0) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1)
grub> ls (hd0,gpt2)/
lost+found/ boot/ swapfile etc/ media/ var/ bin dev/ home/ lib lib32 lib64
libx34mnt/ opt/ proc/ root/ run/ sbin snap/ srv/ sys/ tmp/ usr/ cdrom/
grub> ls (hd0,gpt1)/
efi/
And that is as far as I've gotten, it's also not turning my fans on when it's like this so it is getting hot. Gotta turn it off when figuring it out.
But yeah I'm lost as shit, is there a problem or am I just an idiot? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The PC I am trying EndeavourOS on is an RCA Cambio W101 V2. Specs can be found here.
Hello, I need help resolving getting rid of the 'GNU Grub screen version 2.04' that I am seeing every time I reboot.
I am able to get past the screen using the tutorial in the link that I provided, (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFj_yqk6AUI&list=LL&index=2&t=599s) However, when I try to run the command: 'sudo grub-install /dev/...' I get this error message that I've attached.
This started happening after I tried to perform a dual boot on my own and install Ubuntu alongside windows.
I apologize for being a total noob but I'm not sure where to direct the 'sudo grub-install command' since 'gparted' lists a bunch of different partitions.
Might need this explained to me like I'm 5 and how/why this will get rid of the Grub screen.
Thanks.
UPDATE: I solved it. Basically just had to reinstall Ubuntu but that resolved the grub screen.

Today when launching my computer I was surprised because BIOS and GNU GRUB didn’t display (like if they were invisible), however Ubuntu and Windows load normally (it’s hard to enter Windows now though). How do I make BIOS screen and GNU GRUB display again?
Hello. I am kind of newbie for linux and I think i fuc... up.
So long story: I have 1TB SSD disk, where I had Windows 10 and Linux Mint 20 on dual boot. I set the partitions: one went for Win, other one (600gb) went for common partition (mostly to have access to particular files from both OS, another one for / one for swap (i have 32gigs of ram) and /home.
But i did not like this set so what I decided to do was to get rid of linux and this big partition and create just / 20gigs and rest (like 700gigs) for /home.
I have reinstalled the system and I have this issue coming all the time. I tried some tutorials and none of them work. I tried to install mint with /boot partition, but same result. Other important informations:
- i have uefi in bios
- both windows 10 and freshly installed mint are working but i have to enter to them via bios which is... yeah. Annoying.
- i want to change to ubuntu, but its not necessary. I have both OS on 2 flashdisks.
- id rather not reinstall windows.
There is a EFI partition created by windows i suppose.
So the question is - what am i suppose to do to get the boot menu (when you start the pc you could pick the OS) like it was on the beginning?
Another thing is i can change in bios that one of the OS is turning on instantly but again, no boot loader and the hard way.
Please advise...
I had Ubuntu 20.04 dual booted with windows 10. I recently updated to windows 11 and things were fine for 2-3 sessions for both OS.
Then I was initially getting a gnu grub related problem. I was booting into Ubuntu (it was on top of the boot priority) but I kept hopping onto Windows 11. So I tried to restore grub using a live USB disk. Disabled Fast-boot, Disabled security boot. Didn't see the option Legacy-Boot on my boot options. But I couldn't install grub.
I got frustrated and tried to reinstall ubuntu. On the last step I got an error saying, "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda ' failed. This is a fetal Error." I set the grub install path my SSD (sdb), But it still tried to install on /dev/sda. So my initial idea was to try to install ubuntu on my HDD (sda). But I still got this error. I also tried to use ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair tool to restore my grub. It says, "An error occurred during the repair." Here goes the boot-repair log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/54PR4yfMWw/
Devise: Asus vivobook 15 X510UA
Please tell me what can I do at this particular moment.
So I installed Ubuntu linux from a USB today for some specific things I needed to do. Now I am finished using it, but I cant uninstall the GNU GRUB thing. I was following this tutorial from YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rq4zovHiWk
However I think it's outdated, as some things did not work out for me. The man in the tutorial explains there are two parts to uninstalling Linux; deleting the distribution, and then deleting the GRUB. I followed the tutorial but when I got to the deletion of the distribution, I had 4 partitions instead of 2. I only deleted the 42 gb one that I gave to Linux, and then added it to my main partition. The other two were called UEFI, which was only 1 megabyte, and Recovery, which was 1 gigabyte. I did not dare touch them, after seeing their names. The man continues into the UEFI and opening some command prompt to delete the GRUB. However when I followed his steps, instead of having X/source> as my user (as was shown in the video), I had c/windows/system32> as my user. When I typed in the commands, the first two went was expected, but the third, the one which checks how many installations of windows you have, said that I have 0 installations of it, despite being in the windows command prompt. I panicked. I continued with the next step, which was supposed to repair the boot system thingy but when I typed the command it said it could not do so. I immediately restarted the pc, but was greeted with what looked like a full screen terminal. It was titled "GNU GRUB" and I really freaked out because I thought i had deleted windows. I restarted the pc again, and opened the f12 boot menu and chose windows. This took me back to the uefi menu where i chose to reset my pc with any personal files being kept. The pc restarted several times during the re-installation of windows, each time taking me back to the GNU GRUB terminal. When it took me to the terminal, i restarted the pc and used the f12 boot menu to open windows and windows somehow kept its progress with it installation. So here I am, I have my windows back, but I do not dare restart my pc because I fear it may end up deleting windows entirely or something like that. I'm pretty sure the GRUB has not been uninstalled, so yeah... I just wanna get rid of it, and have a computer with just one operating system and one boot option. Please help!
I know its a long and complicated story but, to sum it all up, I have windows, and I w

I'm on edge of tears. I have a dual boot machine for Ubuntu and Windows 7. After POSTing, I get sent into the GNU Grub menu. And recently, my Windows boot broke, and I can not boot into it. However, despite changing the settings in the BIOS and even entering Windows' boot menu, I can not boot neither my recovery dvd's (I made 4 copies just in case) to fix my Windows installation, neither an utility usb (hiren bootcd 10.5). I can boot into Ubuntu on usb and into a Win10 recovery usb, but those are kinda useless. I checked on a seperate device that both of these options work. I found on forums a solution for making gnu grub boot into an usb by changing the root device, and this works on my other dual boot pc, but on this one it just hangs when I try to either list my drives and partitions or change the root blindly. I really need the Win7 on this pc to work since I have software tied to it. I'm okay with deleting both ubuntu and gnu grub from this device since I only ever really used it for internet banking. But all the tutorials I find online are about how to do it from windows. I'm not very tech savvy, I kinda know my way around python and c from school, but I'm really at a loss, no combination works. Please help.
Hello everyone,
I just tried to install Ubuntu (20.04 LTS) on my current Win10 System. The idea was to have dual boot so I could use both OS. I have Win10 installed on an nvme m.2 and used a sata ssd for the Ubuntu installation. The installation finished, the pc rebooted and I was able to boot into Win10. as expected the Ubuntu ssd didn't show up in the file explorer. So far so good. I reboot the system and there it is:
"GNU GRUB version 2.04
Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported...."
keyboard inputs do nothing, rebooting does nothing. Disconnecting the ssd from the Mainboard does nothing. I can't F2/F12 into BIOS, it just boots straight to this screen.
At first i thought this might be because I use a Bluetooth keyboard and for some reason it wouldn't be supported, so I also tried with a wired KB. Still nothing.
Is there a combination I have to press before it can register any inputs? any way to just force booting into BIOS?
System: MB: ASRock B450m steel legend CPU: R3 3100 GPU: GTX 1060
Anyone who has an idea? I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Edit: tried a win10 boot stick I had. Nothing. Straight to GNU GRUB...
Edit2: Fixed it. I took out the RAM, bootet the system. Sort of a forced boot error. Turn off the system, put the RAM back in and boot. voilá, BIOS,
So i recently install grub2 on my arch install.
i restarded the machine and i see gnu grub. i tried doing root=(hd0,msdos1) and linux linuz-linux but that isn't working.
Basically the title . Was booting into Zorin when this came up . This is a hp laptop 15-di0xxx with intel i3 8th gen and 4 gigs of RAM . It's dual booted with Windows and Zorin OS lite .
And this is not the first time Zorin was starter after installation . It was working perfect before
TLDR: What's the difference between the default GNU Grub payload and SeaBIOs from the perspective of installing and using distros?
So obviously one is a complete BIOS implementation and the other is a boot loader into a GNU/Linux distribution (or other non Linux stuff presumably) but from the perspective of installation are there any major hurdles when using GNU Grub as opposed to a complete BIOS? I would love to use Libreboot once I get a laptop that can be Librebooted but at the same time, I want things to be relatively similar to how I've done things before on my BIOS systems when doing things like installing GNU/Linux distros. Would I have to anything different if I wanted to install or use something like Arch? What about Parabola or Alpine Linux or really any minimal distro you install from the ground up? Thank you in advanced and my apologies if the bottom is a bit question spammy.
hi, as the title says, I was getting gnu grub menu when booting with initramfs. so found a guide on how to fix this and ran the command fsck /dev/sda1 -y. after that the os just gets stuck on the elementary logo and doesnt boot. what can I do?
[UPDATE] I couldn't access BIOS/UEFI menu because I kept pressing the wrong key like a moron... On a side note, why did my laptop overheat? It works completely normally in Win10, but Linux Mint makes the fans go crazy and it literally burns my fingers
Hi! So I had to delete Linux Mint partition due to my laptop's constant overheating. I did so by deleting the partition while in Windows 10, and restarting. But now all it does is boot to GNU Grub! I can't access boot options and typing exit only leads me to a blue screen with the option Reset boot or continue boot and both options return me to GNU Grub. I can't even boot from USB. What do I do? It's an Acer Aspire 7
My laptop suddenly restarted by it self and opened on this screen "GNUGRUB version 2.02 Minimal Bach-like line editingis supported. For the firstword, TAB lists possible command completions,Anywhere else TAB lists possibledeviceor file completion ." I know that if I write exit the computer will start ,but want to get rid of this screen . Need help please.

Hi,
I just installed Windows with Bootcamp. Everything worked fine. Windows worked and I could use it just fine. Then I rebooted into macOS using the little Bootcamp thing at the lower right corner in Windows. That worked too. Then I tried to reboot into Windows using the "Startup Disk" preference pane in macOS (I'm using Big Sur btw.). After I heard the mac-bootup-sound it didn't boot into Windows. Instead it booted into the GNU GRUB 2.04 command line. I also tried booting into windows using the "option-key-method" and selecting Windows but the GRUB command line still showed up (but I can still boot into macOS with no problem). I can't get past it even when typing exit it just reboots into this GNU GRUB 2.04 thing. All I know is that GRUB is a bootloader.
Did anyone encounter this issue or can anyone help with this problem?
