[SOLVED] LM 18.3 Boots with scrolling text instead of splash screen

[xcapture1]

I use linux mint 18.3. It started booting in scrolling text instead of splash screen (logo). How do I set it back to splash screen booting? Opened up grub.cfg file, with gksu gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg not sure if that's the file to correct the problem. I see no file in the /etc/default/grub folder. I see a grub file in the /usr/share/grub/default folder.

There should be a copy of /usr/share/grub/default/grub in /etc/default so you can copy that file there

This line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" enables the splash screen.

After copying the file run sudo update-grub

To copy grub file from /usr/share/grub/default to /etc/default, I need root permission to copy the file. How to get permission to copy file? Can I use gksudo nautilus?

Thanks for the info wharfrat! I had to use gksu nemo to copy file with permission.

Sorry I was late.

You could have used sudo cp /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default

However, you did figure it out
