Description Alessio 2020-09-17 19:42:59 UTC 
Power Off/Log Out -> Restart
Press Alt, the "Restart" button become "Boot Options"
Click
At this point, at reboot, GRUB menu should appear, but it doesn't.

Issuing
sudo grub2-editenv - set menu_show_once=1
GRUB menu appears.

Someone reported that it works as expected on a system upgraded from F32 to F33

Choosing "Boot Options" results in boot menu appearing following reboot on baremetal; but not in a qemu-kvm (virt-manager), grub menu remains hidden.

For me, it doesn't appear even on baremetal (Dell XPS 13 9360).

This is likely caused by an selinux issue, see bug 1856399, which I filed quite some time ago, but which is not seeing any progess :| 

Can you try running:

sudo setenforce off

Before trying the "boot options" option ?

If that fixes things, then this is indeed caused by bug 1856399.

Works following 'sudo setenforce 0' bu 'enforcing=0' doesn't always work which is kinda odd.

Ok. Lets mark this as a duplicate of the selinux bug then. And thank you for providing the logs in the selinux bug.
