bootmenu/grub2 timeout expire before needle matching
100%
Description
openqa needles matching at the moment on grub2 boot (timeout 8 sec.) is to slow comparing to 8 seconds for grub.
The result is that needle will not found, because timeout has expired, or we don't go on boot-read-only-snapshot.
At the moment we have many needles that are potential candidates;
My suggestions are:
- clean up needles. ( i don't see a stable solution, because needles could grow in future and we will have same issue.
- stop the grub2 timeout, only for the reboot_after_install/first boot test.
- modify the api or adapt this test in a special way for this.

dmaiocchi is working on #9716 so he is probably touching this already

yes, that's true. so i check the timeout in after_install/migration test-case, so i don't know if we use in another scenarios. I know that Richard has changed the timeout globally in tests. so we can assume is already done.

I don't think we can regard this as resolved as long as there is no change in the tests. Reference the merged commit or PR if this is done.

Send 'up' key in order to prevent grub2 timeout before boot_snapshot entry found
dmaiocchi changed the 'up' to 'esc' but seems to still work ;-)

yop, how can we close the task?. Up were a little critical since for any bug grub would start from 2nd menu-entry, up would go to 1one. so esc might be better. :)

ok, so 'esc' is actually a better choice. This task is "resolved", i.e. equivalent to being closed
