Changing startup settings with Startup-Manager
Startup-Manager or SUM is an easy to use interface used to configure some settings for grub and splash screens. It can be a long and touchy job when manually editing grub and usplash files. Startup-Manager simplifies the process, but be careful, you are running the program as a root user. Just make sure you know what you are doing before you change anything. Most features are straightforward.
Overall the features include
-Timeout in Seconds of Bootloader
-Default Operating System to load
-Display Resolution of GRUB.
-Bootloader appearance settings such as backround and colors
-Protect GRUB with a password
-Number of kernels to show
-Enable/disable memtest86+
-Change usplash design
Installation
This program is easy to install as it is available in the utilities section of the universe repository. So as long as it is enabled (which it should be) just open synaptic package manager and search for startupmanager. After installation the program is found in the gnome-menu under Administration
