-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hopefully this will be helpful to folks wanting familiar server console behavior for Lucid 10.04.
First we killed the frame buffer, took out the splash screen and turned kernel messages back on: http://staff.adams.edu/~cdmiller/posts/Ubuntu-Lucid-server-text-console/ It is possible to get a fast frame buffer, vesafb with vga=0x314 for example, but for some reason it kills kernel boot messages. So we stuck with text. On finding we could not remove Plymouth in a nice way, we disabled it: http://staff.adams.edu/~cdmiller/posts/Ubuntu-Lucid-server-disable-plymouth/ I wouldn't be so hard on Plymouth if it were not for the ludicrous package dependencies set up to guard it's existence. Probably a good reason for that, just not explained clearly anywhere I looked. Finally, we enabled more verbosity for Upstart to get useful console and boot logging: http://staff.adams.edu/~cdmiller/posts/Ubuntu-Lucid-server-upstart/ In the end we worked around the default console configuration issues with our Lucid server KVM guests and have a nice text console. - - cameron - -- - - cameron miller - - Server Team Lead - - outhouse attendant, bricoleur - - http://staff.adams.edu/~cdmiller -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFMO57xJ62kxkSCtLARArXaAKDBWWCMcBXQXyM8y5NwtMtPtFEzmACg2G9Y xlU9HvsufKgKqPlN2d7btM8= =YSZy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
