If you can not see the menu of GRUB on start up, you've to type the shift button of your keyboard when you're turning on you laptop

If you to fix it you've to edit /etc/default/grub file in sudo mode and modify the following line like this :

# GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0

Don't forget to update your grub with this command:

sudo update-grub

  • Edit the file in case that the first step is working. So you got the GRUB menu with the shit button down during the start up . As you didn't tell us what's king of environment you're using. So it's depend could be gedit for gnome, xcfe , kate for KDE , vim in your terminal.... You've to put sudo before the soft you want to use – dubis Jan 28 '16 at 11:04
