Summary: GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE breaks hidden menu with multi-OS Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: wseverin Submitted on: Mon 09 Dec 2013 06:53:28 PM GMT Category: Configuration Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Warren Originator Email: wseve...@warsev.com Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: Release: other Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Ubuntu 12.04 Kernel 3.2.0-58-generic Memory 8GB Processor Core i3 M370 @ 2.4 GHz 64-bit OS disk1 720GB disk2 500GB The latest updates to GRUB that implement the GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE setting seem to break the ability to bypass the GRUB menu. I have a laptop with a 2nd hard disk replacing the (seldom used) CD drive. Linux (Ubuntu) is installed on the primary hard drive. Windows 7 is installed on the secondary drive. I almost always boot to Linux and so I bypass the OS selection menu in GRUB so as to have fastest boot possible to Linux. In the rare instances when I boot to Windows I hold down the esc key. This ability seems to be broken as of the latest GRUB updates that implement the GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE option in /etc/default/grub. There's no way to bypass the GRUB OS selection menu. I've tried many variations of that option with and without GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET. No joy. Is this a bug in the latest GRUB or a feature, or am I missing something in the setup? Thanks! _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40853> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
