Change systemd-boot timeout

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd-boot

The loader configuration is stored in the file *esp*/loader/loader.conf. See loader.conf(5) § OPTIONS for details.

A loader configuration example is provided below:

esp/loader/loader.conf

default arch.conf timeout 4 console-mode max editor no

Tip:

  • systemd-boot does not accept tabs for indentation, use spaces instead.
  • default and timeout can be changed in the boot menu itself and changes will be stored as UEFI variables LoaderEntryDefault and LoaderConfigTimeout, overriding these options.
  • bootctl set-default "" and bootctl set-timeout "" can be used to clear the UEFI variables overriding the default and timeout options, respectively.
  • If you have set timeout 0, the boot menu can be accessed by pressing Space.
  • A basic loader configuration file is located at /usr/share/systemd/bootctl/loader.conf.
  • If the bootloader (during the entry selection) appears distorted/uses the wrong resolution you can try to set the console-mode to auto (uses heuristics to select the best resolution), keep (keeps the firmware provided resolution) or 2 (tries to select the first non-UEFI-standard resolution).
