I'm running Trisquel5.5 and I would like to add a hashed password to grub. So far, I have not been successful. I've tried modifying several grub files, but cannot get a persistent password. Does anyone have any ideas? thanks.

Thank you. Unfortunately, although I followed the directions in the manuals, my system bypasses the grub menu and goes directly to the splash/login screen. I do not have this problem with any other of my Gnu/Linux os's, and have protected their boot processes with hashed passwords. Any help anyone can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks.

So, time for silly questions!

Is your GRUB_TIMEOUT positive and nonzero?

Is GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT unset or commented out?

Did you remember to update-grub?

(disclaimer: haven't tried it myself)

GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
The HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
I did update-grub but I am still not able to get to a grub menu.

Put a # in front of the hidden timeout. That will comment it out.

Then update-grub.
