Disable Boot Splash (or lack thereof)

I know that Linux Mint defaults to a black screen bootsplash, but some of us would really like to watch the messages scroll as the computer boots. Would it be possible in Mint 13 to have an option to easily re-enable the scrolling text?
(I personally want to figure out a way to have tux sitting on top of the scrolling text like some other distro's, but I'm not sure how to go about it :/ )

You need to edit the kernel boot command line.
Open a terminal and type:
Change this line:
Code: Select all
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
To this line:
And safe the file.

Or, in the case of MATE,
The next part is right on:

To be fair, it should be gksudo and not sudo, as gedit and pluma are graphical applications.
