Hi there,

So basically, the old terminal command use to be “sudo gedit /etc/default/grub &” , now it does not work and says invalid command… can someone please tell me the new command for this? I just want to change the Timeout from 10 to 2 :D.

Look forward to your response.

Thanks

Maybe try gksudo pluma /etc/default/grub

Hi: I seem to remember having to install gedit first, then no problems.

“sudo apt-get install gedit”then “sudo gedit /etc/default/grub” without quotes

… or you could use nano.
You would probably want to use nano if you are in a server connected by ssh.
Or, if you boot to your grub menu and selected the root shell from the recovery console.
Then after you edit your grub menu you could close the console and scroll up to the option there called ‘grub: update the grub bootloader’, and you’d be all set.
Neither pluma nor gedit would work in either of those situations as far as I know. :slight_smile:
