Hold Shift during boot to bring up the GRUB menu, press E to edit, remove the splash and quiet options and press Ctrl-X to boot. It's almost the same as legacy GRUB, with just enough changes to confuse people :( Tp make it permanent, edit /etc/default/grub, remove the splash and quiet options, save the file and run grub2-mkconfig (or the wrapper script that Ubuntu provide, update-grub?). > Is there a way after the install to add a Windoze OS to grub and all? > I unplugged the windoze drive to make sure it didn't mess that up OR I=20 > mess up something.
