I really do not know why, but it worked for me and I discovered that by accident. Let me know if it still works. As Graig wrote, Grub menu is not controlled by Gnome, KDE or any other x-related setting. It is controlled by integrated graphics, which sometimes is controlled by bios/uefi. When I mixed vga and hdmi outputs, grub was always displayed trough vga. -- Łukasz Posadowski _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
