Reduce Grub Timeout


You may not want the Grub boot menu to sit for ~10 seconds on every startup.

There was a menu list file with previous builds of Ubuntu (Grub 1), but changing the Grub menu with the new version 2 is a little different.

Edit this file as root:

/etc/default/grub

Look for this line:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

Change to the value you want (in seconds), such as 5, save the file, then run

sudo update-grub
