If you rebooted then it should have been set - and you should
not have needed to do it manually.

This should not have been necessary if you rebooted. I think
you should try and find out what went wrong, as otherwise this
will not work when you reboot next time and you will have to set it
by hand on each reboot.

It sounds like you did all the right things - nt sure why it didnt
work for you.

Have you rebooted since ? What is the value after rebooting now ?
