kubuntu karmic grub2 and kernels menu set timeout
September 18, 2009 2 Comments
-.-” shift didn’t work to enter on kernels menu…
to edit time out
kdesudo kate /etc/default/grub
Set the valuel:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
exit and save now
sudo update-grub
END!!
the fist time i had this problem i did
sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and change
this part
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
if keystatus; then
if keystatus –shift; then
set timeout=-1
else
set timeout=5
fi
else
if sleep –interruptible 3 ; then
set timeout=5
fi
fi
NOTE i have set 5 second … anyway.. even if i don’t click shift…
then
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
set default=0
should set the default kernel
0 stands for the first kernel you find on the file … i think…


One additional to ensure that it won’t get “automatically corrected” during the next kernel update, edit /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober and make the same adjustments you list above. Then run update-grub (or update-grub2 same program) to get this into grub.cfg
HTH
I found another solution change the value of GRUB_TIMEOUT in the file “/etc/default/grub” and then run update-grub (from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2)
