    Hi Friend,

    I have just installed Fedora 29 Workstation 64 bit to a brand new 500 GB HDD as the only OS. Now, I have got 1 question.

    I have tried to change the boot menu display time (GRUB_TIMEOUT=60) from the default 5 seconds to 60 seconds by running the following commands, but I have not been able to achieve that

    [[email protected] john]# nano /etc/default/grub

    [[email protected] john]# cat /etc/default/grub
    GRUB_TIMEOUT=60
    GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=”$(sed ‘s, release .*$,,g’ /etc/system-release)”
    GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
    GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
    GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=”console”
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”resume=/dev/mapper/fedora-swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora/root rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap rhgb quiet”
    GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=”true”
    [[email protected] john]#

    [[email protected] john]# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
    Generating grub configuration file …
    Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.19.13-300.fc29.x86_64
    Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-4.19.13-300.fc29.x86_64.img
    Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.16-300.fc29.x86_64
    Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-4.18.16-300.fc29.x86_64.img
    Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-19d06d6946ee44c7a4eb1677916fdfa3
    Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-0-rescue-19d06d6946ee44c7a4eb1677916fdfa3.img
    done
    [[email protected] john]#

    What do I need to do now? Can you please help? Thanks

    This actually ended without any install and a message:
    warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID f6777c67: NOKEY
    Retrieving key from file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
    GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 14] Could not open/read file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux

    Solution was:
    #yum -y install http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
    #yum install flash-plugin

    Tested with Centos6.9 installed on whtop.com

    Tried your suggestion and I get the following error:

    Trying other mirror.
    Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: adobe-linux. Please verify its path and try again

    You may solve gpg control by setting in the Adobe-Linux.repo gpgcheck=0… and, whenever possible, find and upload the gpg key in the folder on latter attempt.

    GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 14] Could not open/read file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux

    This error shows when I try to run:
    # yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper alsa-plugins-pulseaudio libcurl
