I tried all the methods that comes in google search for "hide the grub menu on computer start", but still no luck, I guess things work differently on Ubuntu 15.04 ?

this is my grub

what to do on ubuntu 15.04 to boot straight away without showing boot menu?

few more details: I did ran sudo update-grub after making changes to grub file. My BIOS is UEFI

UPDATE: I triple boot Ubuntu (default, since I use it 90% of time), arch linux, windows( for games occasionally). so I select Ubuntu most of the time i want to boot directly to it, but occasionally if i want to boot to other OS, i would like to "press shift key and see the grub and select the desired OS", thats why I want to hide grub

UPDATE2: when i set grub timeout to 0 it becomes 10sec on boot, dont know why...

In /etc/default/grub set:

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT="1"

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET="true"

#GRUB_TIMEOUT="1"

That will allow you to have a very short time interval of 1 second to still press Shift while booting to get the advanced menu, while not running into the 10-second problem in

if [ "${timeout}" = 0 ]; then

set timeout=10

fi

in /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

(Meaning, "0" is allowed, but just gets set to "10" in a deeper level of the config to protect users from themselves)

Did you try to replace

...

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

...

with

...

GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE='hidden'

...

?

According to the docu (`info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration') the first
is deprecated and one should use the ''less confusing'' style option.

I have solved the "grub not hiding at boot" problem in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS only by installing the Boot Repair software.

Before that, I have tried plenty of suggestions found on google by typing: "how to hide grub in Ubuntu 18.04 at boot".

Note: To install the mentioned software, first add the PPA in terminal:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair



$ sudo apt update

Then, install Boot Repair software:

$ sudo apt install boot-repair

Once installed and opened (by typing: "$ boot-repair"), the "Recommended repair (repairs most frequent problems)" button made the grub hide at boot for my case.
