Description Ariel Zelivansky 2013-03-31 14:29:49 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:21.0) Gecko/20130330 Firefox/21.0

In YaST under bootloader, it is impossible to set timeout to -1, it automatically chances it to 0, however 0 skips the GRUB and doesn't wait indefinitely. I can manually chance /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1, but I don't see why YaST should block that option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Click boot loader under YaST, then set the timeout to -1. It will change it to 0 and disallow you to make it -1.

And it's also limited to 300s max. Not sure why.

Comment 2 Josef Reidinger 2015-06-02 12:42:59 UTC

well, limit to 300s is for historical reason as some exotic bootloader have such limit and widget is shared there. I allow use -1 and increase maximum to 600 seconds ( 10 minutes ) it have to be enough for everyone(C) :)
