To install current version, you need to manually edit 03-add-GRUB_COLOR_variables.patch and 05-sleep_shift.patch, then update checksum in PKGBUILD and makepkg. Seems like there is some changes in source, so this patches has wrong lines. But anyway, setting GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT to any value did not works... Can't enter GRUB menu by pressing key... Only when setting GRUB_TIMEOUT > 0 and displaying it by default... Seems like patches needs to be adjusted...

By doing what @si1enced0ne suggests you lose the "silent" part of GRUB (at least in my case).

I downloaded 2.04, renamed it to 2.06 and it's working as expected. I guess we'll have to wait a proper patch to 2.06.

Getting this error.

When bypassing this patch I get

Hunk #1 succeeded at 614 (offset -1 lines).

After bypassing both patches grub compiles.

Updated grub to 2.06. Thanks for contacting me, I haven't received the outdated mail. Feel free to report any bugs

Thank you for the information and the upcoming fix. By the way, I made a "typo" on the first comment I made in this page: I use Grub on BIOS/GPT (Not MBR/GPT) and that is where I get the original decompressor too big warning. 2.04 silent grub ends up at 977ish MB, 2.06 package ended at 32mb.

Aparentely solved ("Decompressor is too big")

I have used a 2.06 patch from grub repo that aparently solve ("Decompressor is too big") issue and added it to the package. Feel free to test it and report bugs

P.D: I'm the same maintainer, just changed my nickname :)

As the maintainer of grub-silent package is my obligation to keep it updated to the lastest stable version, grub-2.06 is still in development. Please don't flag this package as outdated until an stable grub update is released.

grub-2.06 is still in testing, this version matches up with the stable version of grub and I haven't had any issues with it. I can't say it needs to be flagged as outdated.
