 +====== Avoid having Grub wait for input after failed boot ======
  
 +By default, if the boot process fails in Ubuntu, the Grub timeout for the next boot will be disabled and the menu shown instead. This results in a situation that some keyboard input will be required in order to proceed. Obviously, this isn't convenient for headless machines, servers and virtual machines.
 +
 +This default behaviour is easy to disable. Add the following to <i>/etc/default/grub</i> (assuming it doesn't already exist
 +
 +<code>
 +# disable getting stuck in menu after fail
 +GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=0
 +</code>
 +
 +and execute
 +
 +<code>
 +update-grub
 +</code>
