       set timeout_style=hidden
       set timeout=1
     fi
   fi

with just

set timeout=5

will I get my grub menu back so I can do things
like choose previous kernels?

Or should I just delete the entire chunk of code
between the 01_menu_auto_hide comments?

And why isn't there a way to disable the whole
auto hide nonsense? The only thing it appears to be
checking is a serial console, no define you can provide
to just say "Dammit! Don't hide my menu!"

I ignore the boilerplate and I run "chmod -x /etc/grub.d/*", copy one
of the two below into "/etc/grub.d/*", "chmod +x" it, and run
grub-mkconfig:

Just a comment, I always use grub2-mkconfig/grub2-install as I hate the menu display produced by grubby, but ignoring that, I would be questioning where that timeout code in grub.cfg came from, as I don't have that in either of my grub.cfg files and I have never had any auto-hide functionality in the grub menus from any version of Fedora I have used.

Steve
