Bug#573216: grub-pc: Include changes from Ubuntu to hide the menu

2011-04-06 Thread Matteo Cortese
I second Sven's request, also considering that in Debian, the so-called hidden 
mode (GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT) is not so "hidden" after all.

Bug#573216: grub-pc: Include changes from Ubuntu to hide the menu

2010-03-09 Thread Sven Arvidsson
Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98~20100128-1.2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Ubuntu includes a range of patches which hides the grub menu (and the
five second timeout) from being displayed unless the shift key is held 
down while booting (or other operating systems are also installed).

It would be great if the Debian package could also adapt these
changes, for a cleaner look and reduced boot time.

Having it hidden by default is most likely a controversial move at
this point, but at least having the option of configuring grub for
"silent mode" would be much appreciated!

>From a quick skim in the Ubuntu source, the patches seems to at least
include 950_quick_boot.diff 951_sleep_shift.diff 952_normal_quiet.diff
953_really_quiet.diff 954_linux_quiet.diff 967_quiet_grub_loading.diff

Thanks in advance,
