I had Ubuntu 14.04 (updated to 15.04) installed before and now have Xubuntu 14.04, both have the same issue. The grub menu is blank, as in there is no text, no sign that the grub is there aside from the 10 second timeout. In Ubuntu it was a purple screen that I got since the Ubuntu grub is pruple and now its black in Xubuntu. The os boots fine afterwards.

  • Check this out. Uncomment GRUB_TERMINAL = console from /etc/default/grub http://askubuntu.com/questions/161297/why-does-my-screen-blank-out-for-the-duration-of-the-grub-boot-menu – Chintan Jun 03 '15 at 04:56

Try disabling the timeout:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Look for a line labeled: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT and make sure it is set to 0.

I used Boot-Repair and that fixes the issue with the blank grub screen. More information about it can be found on the ubuntu community wiki.
