[SOLVED] Grub Boot Menu Freezes

If I click the up or down arrows multiple times fairly quickly the grub boot menu freezes... just wow.

I have to say this is pretty disappointing, and I haven't had any of these kinds of problems with grub in any other distro.

Any fix?

It seems the zorin grub theme was the culprit for my system. Just run:

Code:
sudo sed -i.bak '/^GRUB_THEME/s/^/#/' /etc/default/grub
sudo update-grub

Why the need to move up and down rapidly in GRUB? surely you just need to scroll down to the OS you want to boot to at time of boot? I have consequently never had an issue that you talk of - guess my fingers have smoother control! :lol: ;)

I was just mimicking client behavior, since I'm actually installing Zorin OS for my brother. Reverting to the default grub theme seemed to fix everything though ;) :D
