Hello Fritz,

Thank you for your attention.

I understand that it is a place for bug reports. My intention was to
indicate that I too was experiencing this bug. I added the phrase "please
help!" to the end of my post simply to imply a sense of urgency. I decided
to report that I was experiencing the bug only after combing through many
forums, both those of Canonical as well as third party forums.

Many of the issues posted to the forums appear to be related to Ubuntu
installations concurrent to existing Windows installations. This is not the
case here. Nonetheless, I've tried many of the solutions presented on the
forums for both single installations as well as concurrent installations
but, unfortunately, none had made any progress in resolving my issue.

In the end, I was able to resolve the issue by reinstalling Ubuntu over my
old installation. This did not resolve the issue, however, but a solution
that worked for the user *orlapa* last May worked for me:

https://medium.com/@leijerry888/get-grub-menu-back-after-installing-
ubuntu-20-04-alongside-windows-dab5de5afc37

I also used this documentation to verify that I didn't miss anything in
trying to configure Ubuntu Desktop to run headless:

into-an-headless-server/

That said, my post can be removed. I will see about removing it myself.

Thanks!
