While I always booted with shown startup messages and edited grub.cfg directly in the past and nowadyas use syslinux, the answer to the OP's question is provided by https://askubuntu.com/questions/33416/how-do-i-disable-the-boot-splash-screen-and-only-show-kernel-and-boot-text-inst https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2331376 etc. This is the kind of request, that usually is replied with a http://lmgtfy.com/ link ;). However, booting a modern Linux install from a SSD taking a look at the log files most of the times is more useful, than trying to follow the startup messages during startup ;). Actually booting my current Ubuntu or Arch Linux install from a SSD is that fast, that the displayed messages are seldom readable. Note, I'm using a relatively modern, but slow CPU and stratup already is too fast to read the messages. I still preffer startup messages over eye candy as a matter of (nowadays unreasonable) principle. -- https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2018/01/spectre_and_mel_1.html -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
