I’m following this guide: https://askubuntu.com/a/910211



I searched for “Advanced Options” but there’s nothing displayed. Do i have to type something in the command line to access to them?



Help? :)

  • I'm pretty sure advanced options are listed upon Grub at boot... You may just have to look for it...

  • <grub> Is the only thing displayed... the rest is a black ocean.

  • This sounds unusual of Grub... Perhaps you may want to consider reinstalling it?

    @neilpare When you read my answer below, do not try to upgrade the kernel under a USB-Live session with persistence. I've read that it tends to break things.

  1. When the computer reboots wait until the manufacturer's splash screen disappears, then press the Shift key to show the GRUB boot options. Sometimes the manufacturer's splash screen is a part of the Windows bootloader, so when you power up the machine it goes straight to the GRUB screen, and then pressing Shift is unnecessary.


  2. From the purple GRUB screen select Advanced options for Ubuntu and press Enter.


  3. A new purple screen will appear showing a list of kernels, which includes options of booting the kernels normally or in recovery mode.

    From: Grub2/Submenus:




    The submenu feature was introduced by Ubuntu in GRUB 1.99. The default
    submenu title is "Previous Linux versions" and appears immediately
    below the first kernel menuentry (and its associated recovery mode
    option, if enabled) in the main GRUB menu.




    So if you are a fresh install and don't have a previous Kernel version to boot to the sub-menu Advanced Options may not appear.



    If this is true in your case, after a Kernel Update the sub-menu will appear.
