Thanks to everyone for the help! End and then up arrow once does the trick! That’s good enough for me for now. I’ll play around with figuring out why I can’t set the boot defaults later. --Al From: Rob Whyte Sent: Sunday, June 11, 2023 6:29 PM To: Al Puzzuoli ; sonfir...@gmail.com; ubu

Hi, The current setup has Ubuntu starting by default. I would really set timeout to -1 so the boot manager waits forever for a response. I have also seen boot managers from different hardware manufacturers that will intercept the grub boot loader and create one based on its settings. So, it

Thanks! I understand this in principle now; but either something is odd or more likely, I’m still just confused. When I run efibootmgr, I get the following: BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 1 seconds BootOrder: 0001,,0004,0005,0002,0003 Boot* Windows Boot Manager Boot0001* ubuntu Boot

Hi, I can directly edit the grub config file. In my setup, I turned on the beep, set timeout to -1 which will wait for a response forever, and also set the menu to visible instead of hidden. Also disable all of the extra recovery options. When you are in a terminal window, type sudo efibootm

Thanks. I may give this a try; but my only fear is if I choose a boot option that doesn’t boot to anything accessible, then it will boot to that same bad option the next time. I guess though worst case scenario, just reboot, down arrow once, rinse, repeat and eventually I’ll get to an accessible
