grub file mod slowed boot

Post by cybervigilante »

I modified the grub file to stop mouse freezing with intel_idle.max_cstate=1, but now I get this long scrolling list when I boot. Can I omit the list somehow?

yes, enter -- quiet splash into the grub.cfg file, or could just run update-grub in terminal and it probably will put it there.

I assume I put quiet splash into GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_idle.max_cstate=1" Do I put that within the quotes with a space before it? As in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_idle.max_cstate=1 quiet splash" It's unclear to me where to put that. I'm new at this ;) Also, I assume that's in etc/default/grub since the boot/grub/grub.cfg files says to not modify it. There seem to be grub files all over so I need to be sure of the right location.

experiment. You could first try it in grub.cfg, then add to default/grub later if you want.

If you edit the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg it's temporary. You edit it, and reboot to try it out. The next run of the update-grub command will revert your edit.

If you edit the file /etc/default/grub your instructions will be included in all subsequent runs of update-grub.

"quiet splash" is the normal instruction, so who removed it? Google will help... "About 196,000 results"

You can reset the whole grub package by re-installing grub-pc... sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-pc
