Every one of my friend might be some inconvenient about
the time they missed for choosing an OS in the GRUB menu. So not to
worry friends, i have some simple steps to be followed for changing
the time limit that we hate.
Obvoiusly lazy persons like me will like it. Since it
reduces small but valuable time. Whenever a non required by default
OS starts booting, we have to wait so that we can restart it and then
select our required OS. This time limit is defined somewhere in a
file that we have to change.
Without boring my readers anymore i would like to
continue my share the steps which we are discussing.
Step 1
:
Find your grub
folder. Most likely it would be in your Linux System's
/boot/grub.
Step 2
:
Look
for the file grub.cfg
in the grub folder.
The
time limit for the GRUB menu is defined in this file so to change
limit we have to edit this file. Editing
this file will need the permission of Super_User.
Step 3
:
You can do this by the following command
$ sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Then you will be asked for Password.
Step 4
:
Find
the text such as
if
[ "${recordfail}" = 1 ]; then
set timeout=-1
else
set timeout=15
fi
Step 5
:
The
timeout
mentioned
in the else
part is the thing which we want to change. The unit for this timeout
is in seconds. We can keep timout
as much we want.
e.g.
set timeout=60
that
means timeout is set for 60seconds.
Step 6
:
Save
the file successfully, do not edit anything without any confirmed
knowledge. This can harm your grub loader.
These
are the steps
which
will lead you towards more ease of using your PC.
