João Pedro Seara (jpseara) wrote (last edit ): Re: Annoying boot messages interfering with splash screen, since upgrading to Jammy

Hello,

I have spin up two VMs with the exact same specs, one using the 20.04.4 Desktop ISO and other the 22.04 Desktop ISO.

Please check the attached file "Screencast from 24-04-2022 16:39:39.webm".

GRUB config for both VMs:

GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

As you can see, the 22.04 VM is definitely more verbose, taking splash screen out of the way.

And please remember these are VMs. On my real hardware I get even more messages that are interfering even more (just some low severity Kernel warnings that already existed before in Focal but they weren't interfering with the splash screen) (check attached file 20220422_014058.jpg).

The boot time is the same so this is definitely a low prio/cosmetic thing. But still something has changed that shouldn't.

Not sure if this is of any use, but just fyi, the fsck messages seem to come from here [1]. The USB messages are just dmesg logs.
