Cannot see boot options after editing grub background
- by cipricus
After solving this problem I managed to get myself into truble again out of nothing by trying to change the display of the dual boot option page in Boot Customizer.
I have changed the background, the fonts size (I have increased them) and font style (I have chosen UnDotum). But Boot Customizer gave me an error (I mean a message that the application was closed unexpectedly or smth). I have restarted BootCustomizer and the settings were there.
When I rebooted, instead of the normal boot options list, just the background image that I had selected and nothing else.
I used Boot Repair to repair grub, it says it did it successfully, but I still get the background image when I try to boot.
Any ideas?
(Could it be the matter that I chose UnDotum font style? That was installed in Lubuntu - but how could it be accessible in displaying boot options?)
The contents of etc/default/grub are:

# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

I have tried to modify etc/default/grub:
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 to 10
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true to false
and
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to ""
but it doesn't help
Also, using Shift doesn't make the list visible.
I am looking for something like a command that would reset grub options to default.
[When trying to reinstall grub i get to this window in term:
