      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 …

      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

      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.

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