Feature changed by: Anshul Jain (anshuljain) Feature #309840, revision 3 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. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309840
