Hello. I was searching for few days the way to hide grub2 menu unless I hold shift key. It's a multiboot system (linux + windows 8) so it was a bit harder to find the solution. But I'm almost there. Have two more problems. But first here's my current status. I only needed to change contents of 30_os-prober in /etc/grub.d/. I changed the following code:
to:Code:make_timeout () { if [ "x${found_other_os}" = "x" ] ; then if [ "x${1}" != "x" ] ; then if [ "x${GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET}" = "xtrue" ] ; then verbose= else verbose=" --verbose" fi if [ "x${1}" = "x0" ] ; then cat <<EOFif [ "x\${timeout}" != "x-1" ]; then if keystatus; then if keystatus --shift; then set timeout=-1 else set timeout=0 fi else if sleep$verbose --interruptible 3 ; then set timeout=0 fi fifiEOF else cat << EOFif [ "x\${timeout}" != "x-1" ]; then if sleep$verbose --interruptible ${GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT} ; then set timeout=0 fifiEOF fi fi fi}adjust_timeout () { if [ "x$GRUB_BUTTON_CMOS_ADDRESS" != "x" ]; then cat <<EOFif cmostest $GRUB_BUTTON_CMOS_ADDRESS ; thenEOF make_timeout "${GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_BUTTON}" "${GRUB_TIMEOUT_BUTTON}" echo else make_timeout "${GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT}" "${GRUB_TIMEOUT}" echo fi else make_timeout "${GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT}" "${GRUB_TIMEOUT}" fi}
But now I have a problem. When I run sudo update-grub it doubles the Windows 8 recognition so I get:Code:adjust_timeout () { cat <<EOF if keystatus --shift; then set timeout=-1 else set timeout=0 fiEOF}

Could anyone see where is the error. Here's complete code of changed 30_os-prober:

adjust_timeout
So, that's the problem.
TIA
