Thanks,
I got rid of similar problems as you have leaded.
I made below changes on ubuntu and it works when keyboard is not plugged or when ubuntu is not become alive after electricity interruptions:

Code:
Run Gedit as root (gksu gedit).
  Open*/etc/default/grub*and locate the following lines:
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
  Change the values as follows:
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false

Also add this line:
GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=10

  Save and run*sudo update-grub*from your terminal and reboot.

Boris
