on my desktop pc running KDE after the boot appear three green points flashing, if I press “esc” key the running console (I suppose the name is correct) appear with the operation that linux are performing, how can I have this automatically and not press “esc” key anymore?
In YaST - System - Bootloader you can remove the “quiet” from the boot parameters.
We remove the two settings:
“splash=silent” (<-- disables Splash Screen)
quiet
… from the Kernel Command Line Parameters line:
Found using:
Yast (or Yast2) → Boot Loader → Kernel Parameters → Optional Kernel … entry
@pier_andreit also add enable.plymouth=0 to remove the non functional plymouth (the three dots)…
Or plymouth.enable=0, or do sudo zypper rm plymouth.
@mrmazda thanks for the correction I use zypper rm ply* libply* then zypper al ply* libply* lastely rebuilt initrd to remove dractut -f --regenerate-all
manythanks, I will try as soon as I have my desktop pc close to me, I googled about plymouth, it gives me this:
apart the “attractive” 
, is this the only reason of plymouth?
or if I remove it, also the redirection to a log file is disabled and I cannot view anymore the boot log?
zypper rm -u plymouth may save some typing. It’s pretty close 
Here it only gets installed in the first place if I forget to taboo it in the installer.
Your fingers are apparently like mine, inserting random characters where they don’t belong, and I don’t always notice, like you.

It gets logged regardless of whether Plymouth is hiding it. AFAIK, it’s primary purpose is emulating Windows booting, with a possible secondary one having something to do with secure boot.
manythanks, I removed quiet and splash=silent in the kernel parameters and it worked
