Hi,
I'm using Debian with grub version 2.00-20.
My /etc/default/grub configuration contains the following lines:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=3
Expected behavior: When booting, grub should display a three second
countdown and if no key is pressed, boot the default grub entry, after
the countdown finishes.
Current behavior: When booting, grub displays a three second countdown
and if no key is pressed, the grub menu is shown, after the countdown
finishes.
The problem lies in the 00_header.in script [1], specifically:
if sleep$verbose --interruptible ${1} ; then
set timeout=${2}
fi
This just always sets the countdown to GRUB_TIMEOUT, even if the sleep
is not interrupted. I think it should be something like:
if sleep$verbose --interruptible ${1} ; then
set timeout=0
else
set timeout=${2}
fi
I created a patch to fix this (see attachment). Please include the patch.
Best regards,
Andreas
