Just keep "hollywood" running in another terminal at all times.

Install and run "btop".

You could scroll down to the screenshots on the GitHub page, but I had a friend recommend btop to me and seeing it for the first time running on my own machine was an experience. Highly recommend.

10 year old bug?

What are they talking about, that bug report is from 2014‽

... Fuck

One key problem with forced arbitration clauses is that company chooses and pays the "neutral" arbiter, who is inevitably biased against the consumer.

I was helping you there and asked you to back up configs and post some information.

Once you've done that I think actually getting things back the way they should be will go fine.

I didn't know TWAIN, so I looked it up and am glad I did:

Do you throw away all your cables when new features are added?

Only when you start to own a device that uses one of those new features?

Like me, that user wants to use ISO-8601 format for dates.

I didn't see that option in the screenshot. Anyone know if that's possible in this Beta?

Sorry again. I wrote this last comment (and this one, TBH) from my phone and "--iso=s" should have been "--iso-8601=s" . I've edited my comment and the command should now work (Making a backup of your grub.cfg containing the date, to the second, in the filename. I did that to hopefully avoid you running the same command again after trying some fixes and accidentally clobbering your backup).

Ahh, sorry.

For Fedora it looks like the default /etc/default/grub looks like this:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet" GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true

( Taken from https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/how-to-regenerate-etc-default-grub/72677/9 )

If you're using LVM / LUKS you may need additional kernel parameters, like resume=... for suspend to disk to work properly.

Please, before doing anything else, post the output of the following:

cat /proc/cmdline

And make a backup of your existing grub.cfg with:

sudo cp /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /boot/grub2/grub.cfg-backup-$(date --iso-8601=s)

Also, be sure that you have a LiveUSB on hand. You don't want to be SOL if we break something and can't boot again without fixing it first.

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

What is the output of the following command?:

dpkg -l | grep grub

If you urgently want your grub menu to default to the first entry that can be done first, but unless that's needed I'd prefer to get to the root of the problem(s) and get a proper fix.

This should get you back to defaults:

sudo cp /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub

At some point you definitely did accidentally write to /etc/default/grub when you meant to write to /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

There's no shame in that; Grub's configuration process is very confusing and counter-intuitive.

Everybody who has used Linux long enough has stories of breaking their systems in sillier ways, and this didn't even really break your system 🙂.
