Package: grub-common Version: 2.02~beta2-22 Severity: normal I like GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 setting as always think that holding SHIFT or ESC key during boot stop GRUB2 from automatically selecting menu entry.
Shift key come in mind from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 article. But holding shift does not stop GRUB from loading, this may be achieved by config like (I test it): $ cat /sudo:root@deblaptop:/etc/grub.d/50_shift_key #!/bin/sh cat <<EOF if keystatus --shift ; then set timeout=-1 fi EOF I have filling that "keystatus --shift" check I already have seen in GRUB configs (in more complicated condition check), but it was removed in newer package versions. I don't know proper number for script but /etc/grub.d/00_header and /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober have assignment to $timeout so must come after them. It is possible to rewrite condition into somewhat safer variant - change behavior only when timeout too small (not tested for syntax correctness): if [ $timeout -ge 0 -a $timeout -le 2 ] ; then if keystatus --shift ; then set timeout=-1 fi fi -- Best regards! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
