I have GRUB "1.98-1ubuntu6", and while I have been using GRUB, I have always wondered how to change the delay time prior to GRUB booting into the default operating system. I would even like to switch it off, if possible. Thanks for any help you may have, as I can't seem to find mention of it anywhere, and I think a 10-second wait is silly, having been accustomed to adjusting LILO to any delay time I liked.
View 3 RepliesI want to install my system on my U-Disk.So I need to delay the time when system starting before the system recognized the U-Disk. How to change it in the grub? If I change it ,how can I save it in order not to change it every time I start the computer? Is it in the /boot/grub/menu.lst?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Linux debian 7.7.0 i386-amd64 under VBox 4.3.20 and here is the problem:::
When I open the menu from Linux's top-right corner and click SHUT DOWN..., it shows the dialog with choices, and that Linux guest will automatically shutdown after 60 seconds and I need to change that delay value to 3 seconds. Of course I could just re-click Shut Down -button again, but I don't want to do it. Period.
By Googling I found these "instructions" for UBUNTU:
None of this worked on my 13.04 system. In the end I re-compiled gnome-session.
In gsm_shell.c and gsm_logout_dialog.c change #define AUTOMATIC_ACTION_TIMEOUT from 60 to 5
After GRUB 2 comes up (I'm running Ubuntu 10.10) and I choose the OS to boot, there is about a 5 second delay where nothing appears to happen after I make the selection -- no disk activity. It happens consistently every time I boot. Again, this is after I choose the OS to boot, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the standard delay to allow me to choose the appropriate OS.Is there a good way to troubleshoot this and determine what is causing the delay?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a box with 2 interfaces, with IP1 = 192.168.100.1 and IP2 = 10.1.1.1 respectively on them. I've got an iptables rule that looks like:
Code:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.100.0/24 -d 10.0.0.0/8 -p udp -j SNAT --to-source 10.1.1.1 --random
If I get 2 consecutive packets from the same address and port from 192.168.100.0/24, they get SNAT-ed and come out of the same port on 10.1.1.1. If then I get another packet from the same address and port 10 minutes later, then it gets SNAT-ed, but comes out of a different port on 10.1.1.1. My question is: how can I set the time delay I would like iptables to remember its incoming address/port to outgoing port mappings?

The first is I seem to have 3 GRUB installs. So whilst I update the one from my live session, the change does not appear in the boot up menu. I had installed 10.10 from a CD into a different partition (sda6), but that will not boot, so I have just deleted this and done another grub install and update. The kernel I am using has just been updated from 10.04 to 10.10 too, and it is this that I use and the Grub I have been working on (sda5).
[Code]...
I gave sda1-2 for windows and sda 3-4-5 on an extended partition for my linux OS. I installed ubuntu on sda 7 (when I go into disk utilities it shows up as sda 7 idk why) alongside another ubuntu on sda 5 ( EXTENDEDPARTITION : sda 5-6-7 ) so I could remove mandriva bootloader.Since I did, I removed ubuntu (sda 7) since it wasn't necessary but after it gave me the grub file not found.Obviously yes, since GRUB was installed from sda 7 but i have another grub.conf on sda 5 and I would like to know how to change the path of the grub reader to sda 5? or must I install all over again de grub loader?

View 7 Replies View Relatedi am trying to change the boot order on the GRUB menu so that the countdown automatically starts on an older kernel. From what i can see all the solutions on the web want me to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. The problem is that i don't have one. Someone also mentioned that if i don't have a menu.lst file then i should look for the grub.conf file. I don't have on of those either. The closest thing in /boot/grub is grub.cfg but that looks nothing like the descriptions i have heard of /boot/grub/menu.lst file

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just had a thought of something I would like to do But I'm not entirely sure how to do. I have a desktop dual booting Karmic and server 2003. Mostly I boot into Ubuntu but when i have to boot into server I usually forget to scroll down and select my Windows partition.
What I want to do is have a script where I can specify a one time boot option. As in, I want to run a script, have it reboot my computer and tell grub to boot into Windows server 2003, but not effect future reboots or cold boots. Is there any way to achieve this?
I believe my grub is version 1.97
Previously I could don "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst" to edit in grub the countdown timer from 9 to eg: 2 seconds. I don't know how to do that with 10.4, as there is no file /boot/grub/menu.lst anymore.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my PC ie AMD Athlon x64 with 15 GB for (root) partition and 2 gb for Swap Space,with 1.2 GB of RAM,but after the successful installation its not displaying the GRUB immediately, taking 90-270 seconds to display? What might be the reason.? I have windows XP on my pc,even for booting into Win XP, one needs the GRUB display, its taking almost 90-180 Seconds to display the GRUB(sometimes more than that). But this thing never used to happen in previous versions of Ubuntu? Why only for this specific Ubuntu 9.10?

View 9 Replies View RelatedOld Toshiba laptop model A30 -- tried various installs 8.04/9.04/9.10. They all hung trying to boot the install disks after the initial few screens. Finally, I got 9.10 to install, dual booting XP and 9.10 by choosing F6 from the initial menu, and putting an X beside:
ACPI=off
noapic
nolapc
edd=on
nodmaid
and then hitting escape.But, after the install, I couldn't boot 9.10 from grub as it hangs after about 30 seconds of trying. The live CD would not work without the above parameters being set as described above, but does work with them set! I need those same parameters passed to grub at 9.10 boot time, but I can't figure out how to do that. I've had many successful installs of Ubuntu across a number of desktops and laptops, but I never had to deal with the guts of grub before. It all just worked.
I want to remove the default boot time from grub, I created /boot/grub/menu.lst, but I'm unsure what I can put in here to remove the countdown.

The only solution i have found so far is to re-install grub using the live cd, but it is not feasible to do that every boot. Is this a standard problem(or is there a solution to this problem)? Also, I havent updated my ubuntu yet, will that help?
