Hello,
I'm trying to get Solus to show the GRUB boot menu. I used the instructions in Boot management to configure the timeout with:
> sudo clr-boot-manager set-timeout 5
New timeout value is: 5
Generating grub configuration file ...
done
> sudo clr-boot-manager update
Generating grub configuration file ...
done
> sudo clr-boot-manager get-timeout
Timeout value: 5 seconds
Regardless of this my computer boots straight into Solus immediately. I even tried setting it to 30 seconds but as soon as my BIOS screen disappears, I see no menu and withing a few of seconds Solus has booted and I see the Budgie desktop.
Please note that I am pretty sure that my Solus boots using grub even though I dual-boot into Windows, because I removed the Windows disk altogether and my system still starts (even though my Linux disk has no EFI partition at all). As it stands now (with Windows disk disconnected) I have two SSDs installed:
/dev/sda with two partitions is my system disk: sda1 is an ext4 /boot filesystem, whereas /dev/sda2 is an LVM physical volume which has the root file system.
> fdisk -l /dev/sda

A second SSD has my home:

Any idea why grub won't show the menu?
