Feature changed by: Bruno Friedmann (bruno_friedmann) Feature #309840, revision 4 Title: Supress verbose messages after Grub openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Anshul Jain (anshuljain) Description: In the current bootsplash scenario, after we select the kernel version (or by default starts to boot with the only available kernel), it gives a brief 3-4 second verbose message on the screen.. something on the lines of "Uncompressing Kernel...<and the kernel options parameters>". It then proceeds to the bootsplash screen of openSUSE that we're all familiar with. This is elegantly supressed under Ubuntu through a patch called quiet.diff. I've added this patch to the grub SRPM and successfully built and installed it on my laptop (its available in my OBS at :- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/anshuljain/openSUSE_11.2_Upd...). I'd appreciate if the official maintainer of Grub can add this patch so that the boot can be a lot more elegant than what it is right now. Discussion: #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-06-15 10:45:19) Ubuntu, eh? I don't see any Uncompressing message: http://picpaste.de/nouncompressing.png If you go by the "elegant" argument, I have to say: activate bootsplash. #2: Anshul Jain (anshuljain) (2010-06-15 13:01:31) Firstly, my apologies...it isn't the "Uncompressing" message but the first set of messages from the top in your pic (its not available now...) Secondly, with this patch+bootsplash activated (yes I have bootsplash activated), there are no verbose messages on the screen. While this may be trivial to you, it is an annoyance to many... including myself. I can see the condescension on this being an Ubuntu patch from your first statement. Just because it comes from Ubuntu, doesn't mean that it is needs any scorn. They have some good ideas as well...and there's no harm in picking the good bits to benefit openSUSE. + #3: Bruno Friedmann (bruno_friedmann) (2010-06-20 09:38:59) + Hi Anshul Jain, + Can you explain if your patch leave us choice ( something important + here ) to have verbose message at boot ? + From what I've seen on the lastest ubuntu, there's no Esc key that + permit to see what's happen during system initialization even if it + start with bootsplash. + I need this choice ! + + -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309840
