Forcing verbose mode?

I was wondering if there was a way to force verbose mode on starting up and shutting down. I looked through the YaST boot loader settings, but I couldn’t find anything there… Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Well for booting you can edit the line:

splash=silent

to

splash=verbose

either by editing the section from yast or directly on /boot/grub/menu.lst

Careful there not to break the boot loader!

If you do not want this change permanent, you can add it as option when booting at the OS selection screen - just add in the down box splash=verbose

Good luck.

lol, no, nothing in particular. I just like being able to see what’s happening, as it’s happening.

That worked perfectly, thanks :slight_smile:
