sudo vi /etc/default/grub # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. GRUB_DEFAULT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=7 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
Change default Timeout:
To change the default timeout option in GRUB 2, you just need to change the GRUB_TIMEOUT parameter.
The value of this parameter is in sec, change this value as per your requirement.
Change the default boot option:
To change the default boot option in GRUB 2, you just need to change the GRUB_DEFAULT parameter.
0 is the first entry, so if you want Windows to be your default boot option which is, say at,
5th position in the grub menu, then you just need to change the GRUB_DEFAULT value to 4 and
save the file and close it.
Save the file after making all the required changes and from the terminal run the following command
sudo update-grub
sudo rm /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-screensaver.desktop (to stop screensaver from running on startup)

# using /etc/hostname
# get our IP address
