When you press Esc on the boot screen it shows the console and I was wondering how to show that automatically
I have read other similar posts (all from 2009) but none of them seem to work, which suggests that something was changed.
Remove the splash and quiet parts in grub2 boot parameters.
where exactly would I do that?
YaST → Bootloader → Kernel parameter
Verbose output looks like this:
splash=verbose resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/6ea96a6d-c548-4d28-bb34-b8c186659206 security=apparmor
Remove the quiet parameter.
double checking…
splash=verbose security=apparmor
Yes, this looks good. Press OK and you can reboot and see the boot messages…
Thank you! it looks so much better now!
