How would I remove the splash screen at boot time?

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

As the question suggest I want to remove the splash screen when the computer is booting up. I like seeing the scrolling text. I know I can hit escape and view it but I would like a more permanent solution.

openSUSE 13.1
KDE

#2

Right now I can think of the following options:

  • Change the kernel boot option “splash=silent” to “splash=verbose”
  • Disable plymouth by adding “plymouth.enable=0” to the kernel boot options
  • uninstall plymouth completely

You can use YaST->System->Boot Loader->Boot Loader Options to change the kernel boot options.

I use:


GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash=verbose loglevel=3"

in “/etc/default/grub”. Read the notice in the file:

I do the later: with the above options, plymouth does nothing, anyway,
it is not needed.

Hi
Likewise, but once all 5 packages are removed, run mkinitrd so it’s
removed completely.

Of course, thanks; I often forget to mention that point.

Yes, that’s what I use.

Or, more accurately, if installing from the DVD, I unselect “plymouth” in the software select part of install. That way, it is never installed.

If installing from a live image, I remove plymouth, then run “mkinitrd”.

Yes, same here. I actually have a note on paper with what to add and
what to remove on installs. Plumouth is prominent on the small remove
column.

I thank you all for your help.

I went to yast/bootloader removed splash=silent quiet and replaced with splash=verbose.
