It seems unlikely my all-in-one kernel fix will be accepted upstream. While I could propose it as an Ubuntu patch, another alternative is to just let the linux task track bug 2049390 (Fix Committed). Then most people will only need the above Plymouth patch to get a complete fix.

[Bug 1970069] Re: Annoying boot messages interfering with splash screen
** Description changed: [ Impact ] Kernel (and systemd) log messages appear during boot for many machines, when the user should be seeing only the BIOS logo and/or Plymouth splash screens. [ Workaround ] On most machines you can hide the problem by using these kernel parameters together: - quiet splash loglevel=2 fastboot - - [ Test Plan ] - - 1. Boot Ubuntu on a number of laptops that have the problem and verify no console text messages appear during boot. - 2. Verify you can switch VTs (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + F4) and log into them still. - 3. Reboot Ubuntu and remove the "splash" kernel parameter, now messages should appear. - - [ Where problems could occur ] - - Since the fix works by deferring fbcon's takeover of the console, the - main problem encountered during its development was the inability to VT - switch. + quiet splash loglevel=3 fastboot [ Original Description ] Since upgrading from 20.04.6 Desktop to 22.04, the boot screen is not as clean as it used to be. Basically, the flow used to be in 20.04: GRUB > Splash screen > Login prompt Currently in 22.04: GRUB > Splash screen > Messages (in the attached file) > Splash screen again for a sec > Login prompt All of those messages already existed in 20.04, the difference is that they were not appearing during boot. I was able to get rid of the "usb" related messages by just adding "loglevel=0" in GRUB. Currently is "quiet loglevel=0 splash". Regarding the fsck related message, I can get rid of them by adding "fsck.mode=skip". However, I do not want to just disable fsck or set the loglevel to 0. This is not a sustainable solution. Something definitely changed here. These messages are not of enough relevance to be shown at boot by default, and they should remain hidden like they were in Focal.

[Bug 1970069] Re: Annoying boot messages interfering with splash screen
Seems it's fairly easy to make a working solution in initramfs-tools alone, but there's a compromise. If I only include tiny/simple framebuffer drivers in initrd then i915 starts so late that Plymouth doesn't use it, and bug 2054769 can occur on some machines. If I include all the current drm drivers in initrd then it bloats to 100MB, but at least i915 starts early enough (only just) to avoid bug 2054769. I'm currently leaning toward only including tiny/simple framebuffer drivers and trying to solve bug 2054769 with additional heuristics in Plymouth itself (when the physical monitor dimensions are unknown under simpledrm).

Fedora 39: CONFIG_FB_VESA=y CONFIG_FB_EFI=y Ubuntu 24.04: # CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set # CONFIG_FB_EFI is not set In the kernel source, DRM_SIMPLEDRM recommends SYSFB_SIMPLEFB if you want it to work on UEFI and VESA.

[Bug 1970069] Re: Annoying boot messages interfering with splash screen
I've analysed a couple of Noble systems today and don't think initramfs-
tools needs improving (although it might not hurt). On both systems,
plymouth-start was within 1 second of simpledrm starting (same
timestamp), but the bug still occurs. The reasons are:
1. One system actually experiences the bug ("fbcon: Taking over
console") _before_ "Initialized simpledrm" due to kernel error-level
messages.
2. After setting loglevel=3 (bug 2049390), it's a slight improvement but
the "clean" message from fsck via systemd still interrupts the boot
sequence.
So it looks like we need either:
* loglevel=3 (bug 2049390) and a systemd fix for fsck; or
* The kernel patch I've already proposed upstream.

[Bug 1970069] Re: Annoying boot messages interfering with splash screen
I'm starting to suspect our patch (comment #39) isn't directly to blame for the systemd issue. Disabling or otherwise breaking systemd- fsckd.service doesn't stop fsck output from polluting the console and triggering this bug. Only skipping fsck avoids it. You can skip fsck using 'fastboot' or 'fsck.mode=skip' on the kernel command line. The fact that fsck prints a useless success message to its stdout is the issue, but it's upstream systemd asking for that: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/fsck/fsck.c#L336 and there doesn't seem to be any simple fsck parameter to tell it to run more quietly (systemd already uses fsck -T). I think maybe Red Hat unwittingly works around the problem by starting the Plymouth splash earlier in initrd because they have SimpleDRM enabled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970069 Title: Annoying boot messages interfering with splash screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1970069/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Since upgrading from 20.04.6 Desktop to 22.04, the boot screen is not as clean as it used to be. Basically, the flow used to be in 20.04: GRUB > Splash screen > Login prompt Currently in 22.04: GRUB > Splash screen > Messages (in the attached file) > Splash screen again for a sec > Login prompt All of those messages already existed in 20.04, the difference is that they were not appearing during boot.

Currently is "quiet loglevel=0 splash". - However, the fsck related message, I was not available to get rid of. + Regarding the fsck related message, I can get rid of them by adding + "fsck.mode=skip". - Something definitely changed here.

Hello, I have spin up two VMs with the exact same specs, one using the 20.04.4 Desktop ISO and other the 22.04 Desktop ISO. Please check the attached file "Screencast from 24-04-2022 16:39:39.webm".

And please remember these are VMs. On my real hardware I get even messages that are interfering even more (just some low severity Kernel warnings that already existed before in Focal but they weren't interfering with the splash screen) (check attached file 20220422_014058.jpg).
