Make default boot GUI mode (6.2)

[jtroberts]

I would like make the "unRAID OS GUI Mode" the default boot option.  IE: No Prompt, default.  I'm a little unsure how to do it and fear I'll make my system unbootable if I screw up.

 

So do I simply modify syslinux.cfg?

 

Current syslinux.cfg

 

default /syslinux/menu.c32
menu title Lime Technology, Inc.
prompt 0
timeout 50
label unRAID OS
  menu default
  kernel /bzimage
  append pci-stub.ids=8086:105e initrd=/bzroot
label unRAID OS GUI Mode
  kernel /bzimage
  append pci-stub.ids=8086:105e initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui
label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI)
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode
label Memtest86+
  kernel /memtest

 

Is this correct?  Would I simply move the line "menu default" from "label unRAID OS" to "label unRAID OS GUI Mode" like below???

 

default /syslinux/menu.c32
menu title Lime Technology, Inc.
prompt 0
timeout 50
label unRAID OS
  kernel /bzimage
  append pci-stub.ids=8086:105e initrd=/bzroot
label unRAID OS GUI Mode
  menu default
  kernel /bzimage
  append pci-stub.ids=8086:105e initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui
label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI)
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode
label Memtest86+
  kernel /memtest

 

Thanks in advance

I thought this might be a good FAQ entry, so created it:

  What is "Boot GUI mode", and how do I change to it?

 

Feel free to edit it, or suggest changes.

I also want to auto-boot into GUI mode.

I followed the link to the FAQ and tried to do what it said.

 

What is in the syslinux configuration section does not match the description in the FAQ.

 

Has the method to accomplish this changed in the newer version?

No the method hasn't changed. You just need to move the line that says "menu default" to the section you want to be the "menu default".

If you're on latest release it's much easier, just click on the flash drive and change it here:

I hadn't seen that view. The slider at upper right needs to be in the left position.

I never saw that toggle on my screen.  As soon as I saw that in your reply and clicked it, I could get to the setting.  Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
