Silent GRUB help

Hello, I try to hide my GRUB menu. I install from AUR silent-grub package and at the end I see those lines:

Please reinstall GRUB first:
  # grub-install --target=i386-pc --boot-directory=/your/boot/partition --bootloader-id=GRUB /dev/sdx
 
- Then; look at "/etc/default/grub.silent" sample file
  and make necessary changes to "/etc/default/grub".
  
- Lastly, regenerate the GRUB config file:
  # grub-mkconfig -o /your/boot/partition/grub/grub.cfg

I see on Archwiki that code:

grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX

What is the wright command?
Regards.

Sorry but I don’t understand how that could help?

Last line on that page shows the command you need.

But I don’t have efi boot. I have only /boot partition on my /dev/sda2.

Ok sorry, it’s early :roll_eyes:

Is there any simple tutorial how to hide grub menu? In other distros I only edit grub.cfg file and that’s all.

You can set the timeout to 0 in /etc/default/grub, but this means you can’t use escape to show it in emergencies (I think this is the reason for the hide grub program).

After editing /etc/default/grub (don’t edit grub.cfg because it is overwritten frequently), run

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

OK, thanks for help. I uninstall silent-grub and set hidden-timeout to 0. Just make grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg and it works.
Thanks for help.

Hi @manuel I read it and it was because of this guide that I had questions. I did not need to install silent-grub as that wiki says.
Regards.
