Having problems booting without a keyboard or mouse. I'm running a standalone with just Ubuntu 14.04, as a small server and XBMC frontend for the TV, but it always get stuck at the grub boot screen whenever I don't have a keyboard attached. If I attach a keyboard it boots fine without the grub menu appearing.

I've set GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=0 but still it doesn't stop grub from appearing and stopping the boot.

I had the same setup on an Intel NUC without any keyboard attached and grub never appeared. Just wonder if there's something in the custom chromebox BIOS that is causing this. It's a asus chromebox plugged into the TV with onyl an infra red receiver and HDMI connected.
