The long timeout only happens when boot fails and GRUB must show the menu for kernel selection.
Otherwise your set timeout is respected. As per the above command, GRUB drivers cannot write the environment block to certain filesystems and recordfail doesn't work, so the timeout is always shown. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Summary changed: - update-grub uses the wrong timout for efi system + recordfail timeout always forced on FS without writable envblocks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1918736 Title: recordfail timeout always forced on FS without writable envblocks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1918736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
