From: Colin Watson Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 12:13:28 +0000 Subject: Add configure option to bypass boot menu if possible If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide the menu. Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus if available to check whether Shift is pressed. If it is, show the menu, otherwise boot immediately. If keystatus is not available, then fall back to a short delay interruptible with Escape. This may or may not remain Ubuntu-specific, although it's not obviously wanted upstream. It implements a requirement of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/KarmicBootExperienceDesignSpec#Bootloader. If the previous boot failed (defined as failing to get to the end of one of the normal runlevels), then show the boot menu regardless.
