Thank you for the response. I'm not dual booting, LL is the only OS.
The only changes made to grub have been by either the original install, LL updates, or Grub Customizer. When I installed LL the grub menu was not showing and no key combination would make it appear so I installed Grub Customizer, checked the show menu box, and the grub menu began to appear. Several days ago after installing some updates and rebooting, the grub menu disappeared, even though the show menu box is still checked in Grub Customizer.
Why did the grub menu disappear ? Clearly something in one of those updates made it disappear, but another question is, why isn't Grub Customizer making the menu show ? It's likely that I'll not find the answers to either question.
After some additional poking around on the Internet I found an article that said uncommenting this line...
#GRUB_TERMINAL="console"
...would make the menu appear.
That worked and the menu is now appearing at boot. However, it's a bit different as it's monochrome, and there's no feather, but I guess that's to be expected from a console version. But, the above questions remain unanswered.
Given the issues I've had with this PC, micro SD reader only working with the 4.4 kernel, having to ditch that kernel due to an update, and now the grub menu disappearing for an unknown reason, I'm going to have to go back to Windows on this PC. It will run much slower, but, I won't have these issues.
LL will remain installed on a Dell PC that I have, it's one of those that came with 2 GB of ram and a 32 GB eMMC hard drive. In addition to LL I installed a 4 GB ram chip and that PC now flies. I've had no issues at all with LL on that PC, everything just works right out of the box.
Thanks again for your responses, I appreciate it.
