I would like to boot up my Trisquel 5.0 install to test some software on older libraries.

How do I make the grub menu display at startup? I had this working in Trisquel 5.0, but I cannot remember the exact change(s) I made. (I've already made a chainloading entry in /etc/grub.d/)

Thanks!

If I understand you correctly, you have installed Dagda(5.0) alongside another OS(possibly Brigantia) and the GRUB does not show up. If that is the case, try this:
$ sudo sed -i s/GRUB_TIMEOUT=0/GRUB_TIMEOUT=10/ /etc/default/grub
$ sudo update-grub

Then reboot.

Thanks, but I don't think that /etc/grub.d/ is that simple in Trisquel 5.5.

I seem to remember issues with setting the timeout on 5.0 before and also having to change the menu hiding.

Thankfully, holding down shift works for me, as answered below. :)

I never mentioned anything about '/etc/grub.d/'. The method I said before changes the GRUB timeout from 0 to 10 seconds and should work even if pressing the [Shift] key does not (which actually never worked for me).

Try holding the shift key while booting, this will make grub appear.
