Ubuntu: splash option in grub
Do you want to have something like that:
Ubuntu - boot screen
when your boot your Ubuntu, instead of having a black screen full of lines?
Here you can find the instructions!
First, open the menu.lst file with your favourite editor. Remember that you need to be root user (this is way we use the sudo option):
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst |
Then, remove the word “quiet” from the # defoptions=quiet splash line. The first part of the resulting file will be like the following:
## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the ## alternatives ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5 # defoptions=splash |
The two options mean:
- splash: your system shows a nice picture while booting, as you can see in the previous image
- quite: your system shows no picture but a black screen full of text lines while booting
NOTE: it may be necessary to upgrade the kernel version in order to see the changes. I don’t know why, but this is what happened to me!
