Plymouth, that image of 'loading' or 'loading' that appears when the system is starting, and then disappears and we are shown the login screen (where we write our username / password and enter our session).
Plymouth, generally has animations, movements that make our wait more pleasant while the system is loading all the services and applications necessary for its operation.
We already put a tutorial on how to install the plymouth in Debian, and I installed it myself and enjoyed it for a while ... however, then it got boring, I felt bad not seeing all the service lines starting, not knowing what was actually happening on the laptop when it started 😀
That's why I wanted to deactivate the plymouth, and simply leave the entire startup log ... all the signs that some consider 'weird' and even scare them 🙂
I was looking for how to do this (disable plymouth) when elav simply suggested to remove a line, and this was precisely the solution.
We edit our file / Etc / default / grub with administrative privileges. For this we put in a terminal:
- sudo nano /etc/default/grub
They will be asked for their password, they write it down and press [enter].
We search in the first 15 or 20 lines, one of them will say:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = »quiet splash»
We modify it to simply say:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = »»
Once this is done (that is, eliminated quiet splash of the line) we push [Ctrl] + [O] (is an or, not a zero) to save the file and press [enter]. Then we press [Ctrl] + [X] to get out of there.
In that same terminal, we put the following:
- sudo update-grub
And voila, you will be shown something like this:
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-2-686-pae
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-2-686-pae
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found memtest86+ multiboot image: /boot/memtest86+_multiboot.bin
done
Then they must restart and they will no longer have any image that 'hides' the system startup log 😉

hehe, won't it be Plymouth ???
LOL!!! Sorry, I fixed it a few hours ago 😀
So much better…. I've never liked plymoutch I prefer to see the startup log lines, much better 🙂
Apart from that carrying the plymoutch is much heavier.
That plAymoutch cries out to heaven xD
LOL!! yes, the error went away hehe
OffTopic: Why PAE and not x86_64?
Because although his processor supports 64bits, he uses a 32-bit system and PAE kernel to take advantage of it a little better ... Now, if you ask why he uses PAE instead of X86_64 ... No idea, the 3 options have something good each one.
In fact I was referring to the last thing you said 😉
Actually no idea ... Debian installed the PAE for me, and I've just been using it since then ... I hadn't even noticed 😀
Since everything works fine for me, I haven't changed it 🙂
Alright but for Fedora 17 on grub2?
Cheers! 0 /
Very useful, thank you!
For nothing, a pleasure 🙂
good hint, in linux chakra it's not in / etc / default / grub, but in / etc / default / burg.

plymouth appears to me in fedora while loading and I did not have to install it, when I had ubuntu it did not appear, it will be that it depends on the distro
Yes yes, in Fedora, Ubuntu and family, I think that in openSUSE and others the Plymouth is installed by default 🙂
In Fedora 17 I did it by editing /boot/grub2/grub.cfg either with gedit, leafpad, nano, vi, etc ...
sudo leafpad /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
We are looking for this line of the latest version of the kernel, I have 3.4.4-5 therefore it is the one I will edit.

I have only removed rhgb quiet that appears at the end of the line and it only remains to save and restart the system.
NOTE: you can change the grub startup time from "5" to "0" by editing set default = »»
if [-s $ prefix / grubenv]; then
load_env
fi
set default = »5 ″
by
if [-s $ prefix / grubenv]; then
load_env
fi
set default = »0 ″
