Chris, does the grub quiet command cause your screen to stay blank? That's certainly a more serious issue, can you please file a new bug? -- no way to configure update-grub not to set 'quiet' option in menu.lst non-recovery stanzas https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137136 You received this bug

The grub quiet option (or command if you like) - the one that is on its own line inside a menu entry stanza - only disables some messages that grub prints before the kernel boots. It does not alter the verbosity of the kernel nor of the start-up scripts. Unless there's a bug. See the Ubuntu grub

Hi Tormod, Thanks for writing back. Ah, yes. I understand better now. Then my humble suggestion would be to mention /etc/default/grub and the supports_quiet=false option within the comments of menu.lst (the magically reappearing quiet grub option is what brought my annoying self here) :) That

No matter the steps I take, I cannot un-quiet my Gusty install. One of the first things I do (after fixing apt's sources.list) is to undo the splash and quiet. I've done it all and can't get it to show the startup like it did with fiesty. I don't know if Gutsy does this to our servers (as opposed

I agree entirely with Peter on this. By not including a skeleton /etc/default/grub or not mentioning the file in the standard documentation, you guys are strongly breaking the principle of least surprise. To date, I think this is the only case of a program I have encountered on a Debian-based

Hi Tormod, thanks for your answer, as I always re-edited menu.lst to remove the quiet lines which update-grub always wrote. None of my ubuntu distributions have a /etc/default/grub file; do you mean we create that file with the line supports_quiet=false ? imho, this should be the default, as

Yes, you can create /etc/default/grub yourself, it's not there by default. quiet splash are kernel/boot parameters, not grub options. It's a bit confusing but those two quiet are two different things. -- no way to configure update-grub not to set 'quiet' option in menu.lst non-recovery stanzas

I note that (a) /etc/default/grub isn't documented in the update-grub(8) manpage; (b) there's no indication that this supports_quiet setting is supposed to be a user setting rather than a random internal script variable that might stop working or behave differently in future (c) there's no way to

I think the use case in the wiki is about the boot/kernel option, not the grub option. Therefore this is not really a bug. If you want to disable the grub quiet option, add supports_quiet=false to your /etc/default/grub ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- no way to

No, that just removes 'quiet' from the kernel command line (which I've already done). The grub 'quiet' keyword controls messages from grub itself, and is something different. -- no way to configure update-grub not to set 'quiet' option in menu.lst non-recovery stanzas
