I found it:
but, as luck would have it, it is not in grub.conf but in /etc/gdm/custom.conf
the lines to add at the bottom are

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=user <– your user-id
TimedLoginDelay=1

I set the time delay to 5 for a few days – till I was sure it was what I wanted, then I set it to 1.

maybe you can clarify this a little. It is not exactly the /boot/grub/grub.conf file, but grub must be the one in control.

Thanks

what do i add to grub.conf to boot up straight to a default user without prompting for a password? (I did it in an older version of fedora but forgot and did not save the file, sorry)

Hello. Very good post. I have a question and hope you can help me. I want to make a grub entry for a windows partition but using UUID and don’t know how the exact syntax goes (and whether it’s possible).
So instead:
rootnoverify (sd0,0)
chainloader +1

what should I change and where to put the UUID?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thank you for the guide. I have some problem with grub loader.

The unit has Fedora 8. grub waits for a “Press any key to continue” at stage 1.5 to go to stage 2. I want to use this box in setting where no human interaction. Therefore need to boot without waiting for a key press at any stage. From stage 2.0, I can manage the timeout with grub.conf file. But do not know, how to remove the wait for the key press at stage 1.5.

Would be a great help, if I know how to solve this problem.

Thanks.

@nearownkira
Ya we can use Linux disk notation instead of UUID like this
root=/dev/sda1 instead of root=UUID=…..

Though we can always find UUID corresponding to any drive using following commands as root :
1) blkid or
2) vol_id

Anything else??
