There seems to be a lot of info on the web on how to turn off grub menu on a dual boot system (Ubuntu 14.04/Windows7) and a whole lot of answers which all seem to end in "It didn't work"!

Is there a way to do it???

I have done all the things suggested and "It didn't work"!! APPARENTLY there is NO way to correct this problem currently.

To hide the grub menu follow the steps:

  1. In the terminal, type:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

  1. Find the line that says:

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false

and change it to GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

  1. Find the line that says:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=<some number here, eg: 10>

and change it to:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=1

This will show the menu, but for just a second and after that it will boot the default entry. If it is set to 0, still you will see it for 10 seconds as a security measure. So put 1 there.

  1. Save and close the file.

  2. Run sudo update-grub

Try and post back if there are any errors.
