Package: grub Followup-For: Bug #241899 This is probably just a misunderstanding that happened to me as well. "info (grub.info.gz)terminal" has the following text about the timeout:
====================================================================== If both `console' and `serial' are specified, then GRUB will use the one where a key is entered first or the first when the timeout expires. ====================================================================== I mistook timeout to be the timeout set with the `timeout' command and only got it right when reading this bugreport. I propose to change the text as follows: ====================================================================== If both `console' and `serial' are specified, then GRUB will use the one where a key is entered first or the first when the timeout (set with `--timeout') expires. ====================================================================== Or document `--timeout' explicitly just like the other options.
