[arch-general] systemd-boot ignores loader.conf
Hello all, I'm using systemd-boot on my laptop. My /boot/loader/loader.conf contains only the line: default arch but when booting, the boot menu still appears. What could be the cause of this issue? Thanks in advance. - Tung Anh
Re: [arch-general] systemd-boot ignores loader.conf
Exactly. I'm successfully booting, so the /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf is present and appears to be correct. My problem is, that I'm trying to make the boot menu to *not* appear, but without any success.

Re: [arch-general] systemd-boot ignores loader.conf
I just tried and it didn't help. Just in case, is the location /boot/loader/loader.conf correct? Also, do I need to explicitly reload the conf file using some bootctl command?

Re: [arch-general] systemd-boot ignores loader.conf
I managed to make the boot menu screen not appear by holding the minus key down to 0 second timeout in the boot menu itself. Thanks everyone, especially David Thurstenson. PS: I still have no idea, why does systemd-boot ignore the timeout setting from loader.conf, but obeys the rest.
