jimras Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I installed Ubuntu version 9 a while ago on my 2nd HDD and it installed the grub loader soI can choose between Windows XP or Ubuntu. I HATE the long 30 second wait when I boot up windows and I remember from a previous installation that I could edit the Grubconfiguration file to change the number of seconds that it times out. I went looking all over and couldn't find it in this installation. Could somebody pointme to the right directory and file? Thanks.jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jcl Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 IINM it's /boot/grub/menu.lst on Ubuntu.Edit: According to the wiki, it's menu.lst for 9.04 and grub.cfg for 9.10. However, if you're using 9.10, the timeout is controlled by a variable in /etc/default/grub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
