Hi...I reinstalled Ubuntu today. I used to see GRUB boot menu with Kernels and recovery mode options. Now I don't see, and it just boots up Ubuntu when I power on my laptop. What if I need to boot to recovery mode someday. Anyway to get that list back? Or alternate option to boot to recovery in case required?
|
Hold SHIFT when you boot up. We're using GRUB2 nowadays.
