No SUSE logo

English Install/Boot/Login

hi.

I am running openSUSE 11.2. When i used to boot SUSE it would come up with the SUSE logo. After installing Ubuntu 9.10 and switching back to SUSE GRUB and made a link for Ub* on GRUB and now there is now logo. This doesn’t matter, but i was just wondering why this was.

Thanks,

Might be from the buntu side, as I know ubuntu uses grub2 and not grub1…
Doesnt look like opensuse uses grub2

i re-installed SUSE’s GRUB, that’s what confused me.

Apparently, when you instal Ubuntu after openSUSE, you will only see the Ubuntu Grub menu.

To fix this:

  1. Select openSUSE from the Ubuntu menu.
  2. Navigate to Yast → System → Boot Loader
  3. Click on the Boot Loader Installation tab and click on the OK button

This will save the changes to the hard drive. Now, the next time you restart the computer, the openSUSE menu will appear. by default.

I already did that, i was wondering why after my computer boots into grub and i select openSUSE it goes to text instead of image.

Ah you mean the bootloader, not GRUB gotcha.
Actually i have no solutions for you on that, if the system boots fine after the text coming up on screen and you can log in then dont worry about it.
Verbose mode is fine as long as the system works.

So you want to see the bootloader image instead of text?
Here are some steps to follow, you can do this from YaST:
1- open YaST, goto bootloader, select openSUSE 11.2, click edit button.
you will see the following options stated in the image:

2- Change:

splash=verbose

to

splash=silent

3- And you are done.

You can change also these options in /boot/grub/menu.lst (Better to use YaST).
NOTE: Careful to not broke the boot loader.

One more option: If you don’t want this permanent, you can put this in the option line in the grub menu for openSUSE:

splash=silent

Hope, these helps.

that’s what i thought to do, and it didn’t help, don’t worry about it though, the system is working fine.

Thanks

Slightly different route to same problem.

I have just installed 11.2 and W7 on a dual boot. Due to circumstances I installed openSuse first and then W7, knowing that I would break grub. But I thought it would be an easy fix. It wasn’t. In the end I manually added W7 to grub, and can now dual boot. (I know that W7 made the whole dual boot thing problematic but I am not really too worried about SPs at the moment).
Prior to my brilliant :sarcastic: manipulation of grub I had a silent ie graphical boot into openSuse, now it is verbose. I have checked Yast bootloader and silent is optioned, as it is in menu.lst.

I know the system is working, I have dual boot and should be happy, but I am just annoyed that I broke something and would like to fix it.

Did you try to input these in the boot options:

splash=silent

If that does not work, try this in the boot options:

edd=off

Not sure it will work or not, just give it a try.

11

i’ll try that,

Thanks

Everything was already set to splash=silent, the edd=off half worked. The startup was verbose until 'starting D-Bus Daemon, then went to silent, shutdown is still verbose.
