BoQsc / setGrubTimeoutToZero.md
Last active July 20, 2019 15:25
I have Dual Boot: Windows 10 + Ubuntu 19.10. I've got tired of Windows operating system. Today, I tried to remove timeout for the Grub2. However, simply setting Timeout to 0, in the file: /etc/default/grub did not work. This Workaround does work.

Problem: Setting Grub2 Timeout to 0 leads to the same Timeout 10, on Dual Boot.

These are the instructions to make Grub2 load Ubuntu directly.

  1. Open Grub2 Default Settings file: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
  2. Changing the Grub2 Settings file
    1. Make sure GRUB_TIMEOUT is set to 0
    2. Make sure to add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true line somewhere.
    3. Make sure to add GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=$GRUB_TIMEOUT line somewhere near as well.
    • Summary: These are the additions and changes to the file: /etc/default/grub

Remove Ubuntu partition and follow the instructions below, Source: https://askubuntu.com/a/869888

This answer is for those with UEFI who have deleted the Ubuntu partitions before removing grub

You will be doing this from Windows 10. No bootable media required.

Where bootrec /fixmbr, bootsect /nt60 and the Ubuntu live with the boot-repair suggestions have failed, this has worked for me:

Command to schedule next GRUB2 boot into Windows or BIOS/UEFI (Tested on Ubuntu only)

Find menu entry

Note: There is no Windows operating system entry, since GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true variable existed in the file/etc/default/grub
