Yes, ALT-F1 works. This is not what I mean. I want disable the Logo so I can see all the messages at boot or shutdown phase.
other distributions have the ESC Key or F1 to disable the Logo-screen.
@clem: in linuxmint, is ther a own splash procedure?

To watch the boot pprocess, like in old fashioned linux

Post by baomike »

Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst

change the line:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash
to
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro nosplash
You will get to see what is happening during boot.

Nothing like a text editor in a config file to make it YOUR system.

Haven't tried just deleting the splash command , but I got what I wanted, so I didn't try.

This disables it forever. Sad, I am lucky with ALT-F1 now :)

Add these things too if it is too fast scrolling:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro nosplash vga=791
