Hi all,
First of all let me congratulate everybody on 1.96 release. Just one
of the users who has been waiting to see what u guys cook :)
Now for the first time I'm able to see something other than the
rectangular box but the problem is it passes too quickly. I want to
make sure that it takes atleast 10 mins or infinity till I make a
choice.
There was a minor bug that it was going in a loop but somebody
reported it & it has been documented & a workaround done.
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/190147/
For increasing the timeout in the menu nothing helped :( I get to see
something like a menu & it goes away & I see a bar where I don't know
what is to be done.
I tried to find some documentation but there doesn't seem to be any
documentation. No manuals or anything in /usr/share/doc . So here's
the output
This is the output of /boot/grub/grub.cfg
#

I changed the timeout from 100 to 1000
This is from the /etc/default/grub
address@hidden:~$ cat /etc/default/grub
# This file is sourced by update-grub, and its variables are propagated
# to its childs in /etc/grub.d/
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=100
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Debian
>From this it seems I need to run the sudo update-grub argument but
with some argument/option. I tried to see if update-grub has some
documentation but even update-grub. So any help would be appreciated
as to how do I go about changing the timeout to a more better process.
