See what happens during the boot





Intro


If you want to replace the Ubuntu logo with the loading bar with a list of command lines at startup.
To do this simply edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst

Steps

  • 1st step: save this file
    • In a terminal, type: 


sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.bak



*
    • If you want to revert changes: 


sudo mv /boot/grub/menu.bak /boot/grub/menu.lst
  • 2nd step: edit the file
    • In a terminal, type: 


sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst



*
    • Search for the line: 


Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic



*
    • This line is at the beginning of a paragraph like this: 


title		Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=e642b466-fb58-4277-c3b6-e083e9cr79g2 ro quiet splash locale=fr_FR
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
quiet



Delete the words quiet and splash and then save and exit gedit.

As from now you should get command lines instead of the Ubuntu Logo at startup.
