- Thread starter Spooter
- Start date

Set tiemout value to 5 or so..:
Here's a rhel example:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0The hidden timeout option allows a screen to be displayed without the Grub 2 menu, awaiting input from the user for a given number of seconds. It is available to single-OS computers - if multiple OS's are known to Grub 2, this option is bypassed.
On single-OS computers:
* The menu will be hidden unless the user adds a # symbol to the beginning of this line ( # GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 ) and the GRUB_TIMEOUT value is greater than 0.
* If a background image is designated in 05_debian_theme it will be displayed rather than a blank screen during a hidden menu timeout.
* For integers greater than 0:
o The system will pause without displaying a menu for the designated number of seconds. If the user does not press the SHIFT key during the timeout the system will then boot the default OS/kernel.
o If the user presses the SHIFT key to display the menu, the menu will be displayed for the number of seconds designated by the GRUB_TIMEOUT value unless the user again intervenes.
* With a value of 0:
o Unless the user intervenes, the system will boot the default OS/kernel with only a slight delay. No menu will be displayed.
o The user may force displaying the menu as the computer boots by holding down the SHIFT key.
* GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
o true - No countdown is displayed. The screen will be blank.
o false - A counter will display on a blank screen for the duration of the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT value.

It should be. All I have done is install ubuntu (from USB onto my new netbook) and use the entire disk option.
Its fresh install so I would expect it to be correct. It almost starts to load then stops after 3 lines of text. Ill check what is says when I get home.
I need the recovery console so I can run dpkg-reconfigure psb-kernel-source to enable the GMA 500 video chipset on my Acer Aspire One 751.
