Hello, everybody!
I’m dualbooting EndeavourOS with Windows 7 x64.
By default Endeavour is booting, but i;d like to change it to Windows 7.
Because it is still my primary OS.
What file should i edit?
Also i’d like to increase timeout, which is offered user for selection.
Happy Friday to all of you!
If you are using
grub
and the filesystem is
ext4
, edit
/etc/default/grub
:
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=30 # e.g. 30 seconds
and run command
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
This should boot the system you were previously running.
There are other ways too, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB/Tips_and_tricks#Multiple_entries
If I am not mistaken, this will set the system you are currently booted into as default at next boot:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB/Tips_and_tricks#Recall_previous_entry
I would try this instead:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB/Tips_and_tricks#Changing_the_default_menu_entry
This would save the GRUB menu entry you selected and booted into.
For example, if you have Manjaro, Endeavour, and Windows listed as GRUB boot entries and you select Endeavour to boot into then GRUB will save that option when you boot your computer the next time. Now let’s say you select to boot into Windows GRUB will save that entry as the default option until you change it.
Or you can hard code it as @pebcak describes.
