Could anyone help me out! I try to change the timeout figure in Ubuntu but it won't let me: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst my default is 10 and want to change to 0. Why does it not working!?
As I'm totally new to Linux, "but want to experiment" this mean nothing for me would you be a bit more specific!?
Perhaps 0 isn't valid? Not to mention probably a bad idea, you should give yourself at least a 1 second window to break in, in the event that updating your kernel breaks etc... Put hiddenmenu in there and you'll hardly even know it is there when going through the boot sequence.
timeout 3 hiddenmenu default 0 That is what I have up the top of my menu.lst. Are you changing the timeout line or the default line? From the wording in your original post it sounds like you're doing things wrong. Default just controls which menu item number is booted after the timeout value.
