No boot menu when I started the live USB drive, only black screen

[Mustafa Muhammad]

When I start the live thumb drive, I only get a black blank screen, not a bootloader menu, pressing enter boots the live system.
My machine supports UEFI and my disk partition table is GPT.

Does your keyboard volume control work? (volume up/ volume down should still make an Ubuntu noise)

[Mustafa Muhammad (mustafa.muhammad)]

Where? in the system it works, or do you mean at the boot menu (there is no volume at the boot menu)?

[Tim (swearingen-tim)]

is it related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1195483/

No, in that bug grub menu shows but he can't access the installation, in my case only a black screen, and after waiting it boots the default entry.

[Tim (swearingen-tim)]

grub doesn't show up? the log files reference grub and a kernel.

[Mustafa Muhammad (mustafa.muhammad)]

What do you mean?
