Editing GRUB2 timeout (standby time)
Hello. I've been trying to change the default timeout seconds from 5 seconds to 1, but it's not been applied to the boot file itself.
What I've done:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Then edited this line to be like this:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=1
Then updated GRUB2 with this command:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
But nothing changes when I reboot it.
Any ideas that might help?
Thanks in advance.
After you re-generate your
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
does option "set timeout
" change?What is the outcome of that command? Do you see your edited grub saved, or when you open it again it still shows 5? That command works for BIOS firmware, if you have UEFI, use:
