Before any configurations<\/strong> changes are made, try to back up all Grub configurations<\/strong> for emergency cases. Assuming you are currently running Linux in your machine, start off by opening a terminal and making a backup directory.<\/p>\n

mkdir -p ~\/grub-backup<\/p>\n

Start copying configuration files<\/strong> from \u201c\/etc\/default\/grub\u201d and \u201c\/etc\/grub.d\u201d <\/p>\n

cp \/etc\/default\/grub ~\/grub-backup
\ncp -a \/etc\/grub.d ~\/grub-backup<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to set the Grub bootloader so it will remember<\/strong> the last booted item by the following command:<\/p>\n

sudo nano \/etc\/default\/grub<\/p>\n

Change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=saved Then, paste this below the GRUB_DEFAULT line:<\/p>\n

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true<\/p>\n

There are other ways to tweak Grub<\/strong> such as changing timeout time, hiding Grub<\/strong> unless the user presses Shift key. All these tweaks can be easily done through editing the file “\/etc\/default\/grub”.<\/p>\n
