[Bug 1258597] Re: Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.

[Damir Butmir]

Just to add, this bug is affecting Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x64). It is
basically making it impossible for me to lower the GRUB countdown value
from 10 seconds to 5;

damir at damir-macbook:~$ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
damir at damir-macbook:~$ sudo update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...
