Fix/Prevent GRUB from waiting with a different timeout on resuming from hibernate

Question

When resuming from hibernate state, my computer waits at the GRUB screen for 30 seconds, which is different from the custom timeout that I have set by editing the grub configuration file.

The custom timeout works properly for normal boot from complete shutdown but waits as stated above while resuming from hibernate state.

How can I set same timeout for resuming from hibernate?

Does this answer your question? After enabling hibernate grub menu appears on start-up with 30s timeout — ysalmon, Apr 29 '20 at 18:59

This can be solved by adding the following line to the Grub configuration file:

GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=N

Put N=timeout that you want when resuming from hibernate

Complete steps:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Add this line at the end of the file, save the file and close gedit (Set N to the desired timeout):

GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=N.
sudo update-grub
