Grub 2 Configuration
by Mikech from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XS9V)
WHATT I HAVE DONE SO FAR:
I have searched for this problem on Google and in this forum. None of the answers actually work.
THE PROBLEM
Here is the content of my /etc/default/grub file
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
As you can see timeout=hidden and timeout=0. I shouldn't see the Grub loader on boot up but I do and it hangs around for 30 seconds
All the tutorial say to change the timeout to zero but it already is zero.
Clearly something is different about the latest version of Ubuntu and Linux Mint 19.3 that causes the many many Grub 2 tutorials on the internet to be wrong. Its probably Ubuntu because every time I think I have a Mint problem it turns out to be an Ubuntu problem.
QUESTIONS:
1. Does anyone know how to make the grub loader simply open the operating system in Mint 19.3? It worked fine in 19.2.
2. Why is etc/default/grub being ignored by the system?
2. What file do you ACTUALLY modify to get Grub to do what you want now that grub customiser and startup manager are no longer available to make our lives easier.
I want grub to go away because I only use Linux and if it were not for Grub my computer would boot in 8 seconds.
