Ubuntu :: Grub Timeout Not Working On New Installation?
Oct 28, 2010Just installed kubuntu 10.4 on a netbook (dual booting with WinXP) but by default grub just boots directly into kubuntu. When editing /etc/default/grub I have tried setting the timeout to 10, 100 and now its at -1 (which should be sit there forever)I then run update-grub which generates the new config reboot and the same thing happens, it immediately boots to kubuntu. I see the menu appear for a split second, but no matter how fast i try, i cannot see to hit any button fast enough to kill the timeout so i can switch to XP.
View 1 Replies View RelatedServer :: RHEL 4 Grub Timeout Not Working?
Mar 29, 2010I have an RHEL 4 server now running 2.6.9-89.0.18. After installing the kernel and rebooting to make this the current kernel, the grub menu to choose the kernel failed to offer a countdown and did not choose the kernel as it should have. I had to manually select the kernel.I inspected the grub.conf file and could not find any clue as to why it didn't work. The timeout directive is there, and the syntax matches other systems we have with the same kernel and OS.Can anyone provide any insight as to what else (other than a typo on the conf file) would cause this?The only difference between the way the kernel update (and the subsequent changes to the grub conf file) took place was a manual install of the RPM on the affected system, versus pulling it down from RHN using up2date.

Oct 17, 2010Yesterday I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 (x86_64). The upgrade itself succeeded, but now after booting I have to press enter in the grub OS list. grub.cfg looks like this:
Code:
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

Why do I have to press enter to have grub boot the default entry? How can I get grub to start the default entry automatically, without showing the menu? BTW: entries in the list are default:

CentOS 5 :: Centos 5.4 Grub Timeout Value Not Working?
Apr 15, 2010pulled up an old clunker and put centos 5.4 on it the other day. well the grub spash screen appears but i have to manually hit enter to select a kernel.at the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and timeout=5. this is a new install. so I tried changing that value to 0 and it does boot the kernel immediately but never displays the splash screen. so something is not right I assume. btw I see a message (loading stage 2) for about 20 seconds as the computer boots and I have never seen that message on my ubuntu machine, so I wonder if something is off there.

Ubuntu :: Cant Use Usual Ways To Increase Timeout On Grub Menu
Apr 6, 2011I have an Alienware M11x r2 laptop running Windows 7-63 and Ubuntu 10.10 Unity installed.It was all fine and dandy until I changed my grub timeout to 1 sec (or perhaps 0, its been so long i can't remember!) to reduce the waiting time until an OS boots.My grub was set to boot to Windows 7 as default.Now when I boot up I cannot halt the boot process not matter what key I press (e.g SHIFT).I am doomed to forever boot into Windows. Its been months and I had written off my Ubuntu OS but I am tempted to try and fix this one more time.Since I cannot access the Ubuntu installation AT ALL I cant use the usual ways to increase the timeout on the grub menu (yes I have searched the forums far and wide).
Is there ANY way of changing the grub menu parameters without actually booting into Ubuntu Unity? Can I modify the timeout settings using a live cd or usb boot?

Mar 30, 2011I have a web application that runs through thousands of IP addresses and checks if they're online. Basically, if a server uses more than 250ms to respond, it's considered offline in our case. It would be an enormous timesaver if we could get the ping command to give up after about 300 ms, instead of what seems to be the minimum value of the -W parameter, 1 second.

General :: How To Change Inactivity Timeout
Mar 26, 2010Running openSUSE 11.2 with Gnome. After a relatively short period of time, screen goes blank, and when I click on it, I get presented with password prompt, and when I enter it, I'm back where I left off. I don't see how to change this, and all the time I've spent so far in YaST trying to find out where this setting is kept and how to change it has been wasted effort. So now I'm asking: how do you change this to something a little more reasonable?
I'm taking an online SuSE LINUX class, and as they cover different topics, I jump over to the Linux system (which I have running in a vm under VMWare server on W2K3) and try stuff out, and most of the time I have to enter my password because I was away too long.
