Hello,
On Debian 13, even after setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="splash quiet" and setting GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 in /etc/default/grub, and then running update-grub, it still shows this on boot for a few seconds before switching over to Plymouth:
Code:
Booting `Debian GNU/LInux'Loading Liunx 6.18.5+deb13-amd64 ...Loading initial ramdisk ...On other distributions, Plymouth is shown very early in the boot process:
Turn on computer, and it shows the UEFI logo before it's entered GRUB
The very next thing you see is Plymouth; absolutely nothing from GRUB
I want to replicate the behaviour seen on other distributions since I use the bgrt Plymouth theme, and it's not very attractive to cut from the UEFI logo, to "Loading initial ramdisk ...", to the UEFI logo once again.
I'm sorry if the System and Network configuration board is not appropriate for this question.
These messages are generated by the bootloader, grub.
You can modify the following variables in the file named "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" from:
Code:
quiet_boot="0"to:
Code:
quiet_boot="1"Then, save the contents of "/etc/grub.d/10_linux".
After that, you can update the grub configuration:
Code:
sudo update-grubOf course, the kernel need to be started with the following parameters in /etc/default/grub:
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"The changes will be effective from the next boot.
Hope this helps.
