    Can't reduce GRUB boot timeout [24.10 Daily ISO]

    Hello,
    the GRUB timeout is set to 30 seconds. I want to reduce it to 2 seconds because I always boot the first entry.

    I opened the grub file with nano
    Code:
    
    sudo nano /etc/default/grub
    
    Changed the Timeout value (which was strangely set to 0 by default) to 3.

    Code:
    GRUB_DEFAULT=0 
    GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden 
    GRUB_TIMEOUT=3 
    GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Kubuntu' 
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash' 
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
    
    then run
    Code:
    
    sudo update-grub
    
    but nothing changed. The grub timeout is still 30 seconds.. I tried different values, but nothing seems to work.
    Am I editing the correct file? It may be a bug or some configuration issues?

    As written in the thread title, I'm running Kubuntu 24.10 installed from the Daily ISO so it may be expected.

    It's "GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT" now AFAIK.

    Thank you very much! Adding GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=2 to the /etc/default/grub worked perfectly
