Hey, I am getting this warning message when I updated linux-libre from the official T8 repos


Generating grub configuration file ...
Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.

I am wondering what is causing this error, is this unsupported configuration default with Trisquel?

I do not use the default /etc/default/grub and and do not have that message when I run 'sudo update-grub'. Apparently your /etc/default/grub has GRUB_TIMEOUT set to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set... like the message says.

To edit /etc/default/grub (here with Pluma: put your favorite text editor), execute this command in a terminal emulator:
$ gksu pluma /etc/default/grub
After saving, execute:
$ sudo update grub

Yeah, the warning is a non-issue. It can be ignored.
