I set the default os to boot as windows 7 with a timeout of 1 second. I thought that this would be enough time to switch os ubuntu when i need to, but I am unable to. How can i reset the timeout to 3 seconds? I also cannot view the ubuntu partition within windows because of ubuntu's file system.

I have created a script which runs some commands on remote servers.
I am stucked when a server is not responding timely.
I want to set a timeout say after 10 seconds, if I am unable to login (for whatever reason) I should be dropped back at the shell.
I tried using LoginGraceTime but it is not working for me as below:
Code:
LoginGraceTime 10s
or
LoginGraceTime 10
So I'm dual booting Windows 7 and Lucid. Thinking I might shorten the timeout for the bootloader (I apologize if my terminology's off), I ran bcdedit and changed the timeout to 0. Little did I know this would prevent my computer from booting into either operating system.
I've got Lucid running off a live cd now; does anyone know how I could change the timeout back from there (or any other way!) and get my laptop working again?
I installed last ubuntu from windows 7 using wubi and it worked great, i am writing this from ubuntu. The problem is I changed the timeout to 0 on windows 7 startup options as well default operating system to ubuntu, so now i cannot boot to windows because the windows 7 boot manager just flashes and goes directly to the grub boot manager and even if try to choose windows 7 on grub boot manager it only goes back to windows 7 boot manager and the same thing happens.
I have no DVD drive and i only have a 1Gigabyte USB PEN.
I already searched insanely on ubuntu forums, used unebooting, tried creating a windows 7 startup disk with unebooting, tried formating USB PEN with GLParted and choosing FAT32, ex3, NTSF as well with boot flag and then copying files to usb, wich didnt work. I tried to fix it with SUPER GRUB DISK didnt work too....
Is there anyway i can change this little timeout setting from windows 7 boot partition (yes i really learned something) so i can boot to windows 7? By whatever method, it can be from within ubuntu or using a 1Gb pen?
I know it can only be changed using bcdedit.exe but not even with wine it worked.
I just installed kubuntu 910 via cd iso. now i want to change the default grub timeout. It says i dont have permission to edit etc / default /grub so what do i do? i dont know how to login as root user.

I have been unable to locate an answer to the below.Just installed 10.10 server and noticed that during boot each time the Grub Menu pops up. I have to manually press a key on my keyboard each time to get through this menu. This is a big problem as this is going to be administered remotely. here is my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file
Code:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates[code].......
Now, It seems to me that with the settings above that menu should time out after a few seconds but it is not. I must press enter each time.how I can get this damn thing to timeout after a few seconds?
Computer boots up fine, but drops to commandline as it tries to go to the desktop. Just logging in and issuing "startx" brings up the desktop and all is well.
The Xorg logfile gives no fatals or clues (at least to me), but the "warn" file in /var/log gives the following at the end:
Mar 13 13:25:43 xxxxxxxx kdm[2328]: X server startup timeout, terminating
Mar 13 13:25:43 xxxxxxxx kdm[2328]: X server for display :0 can't be started, session disabled
Yesterday was fine, and never had it before; no harware changes (still same ATI 4770 and ATI 11.2 driver), nor BIOS changes/updates, for ages. First boot today this started. Does it continuously.
how I might slightly increase X's timeout parameter a bit, if this is the problem?
Since I upgrade our cluster from the FC14 to the FC15 I have a bad problem with the tftpd server. I have some thinstations booting over the network after the update the boot failed with the message "TFTP open timeout". I use an "ip alias" (cluster adress) for the tftp server (next-server in the dhcp), when I use the real ip I have no problem. I found some information about a "Service Guard environment" and an option to enable it:
"This option is required for some tftp clients. These clients reject the tftp reply received from a different IP address than the one requested when the server?s interface is configured with an alias IP address." I do not see an option like that in the tftpd server of the FC15.
I accidentally set "timeout" to 0 in /boot/grub/menu.lst . have dual booting Debian and WinXP.The default is WinXP.I am not able to reconfigure it. what should I do?

I 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.

I'm trying to get granular with TCP, one of the answers I can't seem to find is. When a client server connection is lost without closing, how many duplicate ack's are sent until the session is closed. I've kind of figured out the the sender will continue to retransmit a segment for about 9 mins if not Ack'd. going from 1.5,3,6,12,24,48 and the continuing with 64 seconds up to around 9 minutes before is resets the session. but whats happening at the other end.?

When an application invokes getnameinfo, it seems that it takes a while.
Internally, os sends a request to dns server and waits for a response, but the response is timeout after 5 seconds.
1. why does the response take so long?
2. is the timeout value configurable? if yes, what will it impact if the value is changed and where to change this value?
3. is there other way to find out domain name by ip address?
