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.
- Subject changed from needles bootmenu/grub2 need to be reduced to bootmenu/grub2 timeout expire before needle matching

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.

I consider this solved since

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
- Target version changed from 162 to Milestone 1
