Patrick, You can remove "splash" and "quiet" from your grub menu entry. 1) Edit /etc/default/grub as root*. You should see a line that looks like: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash". Comment this line out and save. 2) Run: sudo update-grub * There are many ways to edit a file as root. I prefer Alt+F2, type kdesudo kate, open desired file.
Unfortunately, this disables the splash for all linux entries. You could alternatively, create a custom entry to boot from, which has no splash: 1) Create a new file, 09_kubuntu: 2) Copy-and-paste from 40_custom (or simply rename 40_custom to 09_desiredfilename): #!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 3) Open /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Find your menu entry that you prefer to boot from with no splash. 4) Copy this menu item to your new 09_kubuntu 5) Run: sudo update-grub Example: #!/bin/sh echo 'Adding splashless Kubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-24-generic' >&2 exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. #if [ "x${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR}" = "x" ] ; then # OS=GNU/Linux #else # OS="${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR}" # CLASS="--class $(echo ${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR} | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | cut -d' ' -f1) ${CLASS}" #fi menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-24-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { recordfail insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4e3dce2d-f553-4a93-b01e-88746145880b linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic root=UUID=4e3dce2d-f553-4a93-b01e-88746145880b ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic } More on grub2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 Jason -- System sometimes freezes during boot. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609845 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
