Hi all, First of all let me congratulate everybody on 1.96 release. Just one of the users who has been waiting to see what u guys cook :)
Now for the first time I'm able to see something other than the rectangular box but the problem is it passes too quickly. I want to make sure that it takes atleast 10 mins or infinity till I make a choice. There was a minor bug that it was going in a loop but somebody reported it & it has been documented & a workaround done. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/190147/ For increasing the timeout in the menu nothing helped :( I get to see something like a menu & it goes away & I see a bar where I don't know what is to be done. I tried to find some documentation but there doesn't seem to be any documentation. No manuals or anything in /usr/share/doc . So here's the output This is the output of /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/update-grub using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### set default=0 set timeout=100 set root=(hd1,1) font (hd1,1)/usr/share/grub/unicode.pff ; then set gfxmode=640x480 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe terminal gfxterm ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_hurd ### ### END /etc/grub.d/10_hurd ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-7-generic" { linux (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-7-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro initrd (hd1,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-7-generic } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-7-generic (single-user mode)" { linux (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-7-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro single initrd (hd1,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-7-generic } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-5-generic" { linux (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-5-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro initrd (hd1,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-5-generic } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-5-generic (single-user mode)" { linux (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-5-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro single initrd (hd1,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-5-generic } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-4-generic" { linux (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-4-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro initrd (hd1,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-4-generic } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-4-generic (single-user mode)" { linux (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-4-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro single initrd (hd1,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-4-generic } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-2-generic" { linux (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-2-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro initrd (hd1,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-2-generic } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-2-generic (single-user mode)" { linux (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-2-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro single initrd (hd1,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-2-generic } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { linux (hd1,1)/boot/memtest86+.bin } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### I changed the timeout from 100 to 1000 This is from the /etc/default/grub [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/default/grub # This file is sourced by update-grub, and its variables are propagated # to its childs in /etc/grub.d/ GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=100 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Debian >From this it seems I need to run the sudo update-grub argument but with some argument/option. I tried to see if update-grub has some documentation but even update-grub. So any help would be appreciated as to how do I go about changing the timeout to a more better process. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
