Ubuntu :: Silence On Screen Console Messages At Bootup?
May 1, 2010
After grub loads the kernel I'll get an on screen message from the console showing: cannot reserve MMIO region And I was wondering is there a way to silence console messages so you don't see them at bootup?
Could setting dmesg work:-nlevel Set the level at which logging of messages is done to the console. For example, -n 1 prevents all messages, expect panic messages, from appearing on the console.So typing at a term 'dmesg -n 1' will work?

I am at a loss trying to figure out the options to not show the scrolling boot messages during the boot-up of Clonezilla. Is there a way to have a loading splash screen or even have a static logo that is displayed during the boot process? I have my automated recovery method all ready to go short this one last feature. I have searched all over and am coming up empty on this one.

During the boot-sequence of jessie there is more text flying by on the screen (including some errors or warnings) than I can read thorugh fast enough. I don't think this is very serious stuff, and if it were I could always look at dmesg and or syslog i /var/log but I would find it really convenient to log these messages in a file instead of sifting through or grep-ing dmesg.
When duckduckgoing this matter I found [URL] ....
I installed tried bootlogd but when configuring it to "yes" and rebooting nothing comes up in /var/log/boot.
Then I saw this line in above link
If you use systemd as your init system, you may need to use systemctl to debug boot problems.

after upgrading to 11.04, natty, I have a problem with rsyslogd.
In previous releases I went to:
/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
and uncommented the lines under comment:
# I like to have messages displayed on the console, but only on a virtual
# console I usually leave idle.
This was redirecting the log messages to a console I could get to via Ctrl-Alt-Fwhatever.
In natty, this no longer works. When I switch to the relevant console I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor.
The file /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf still exists. A new arrival is also 50-default.conf.ucf-dist which, as far as I can tell is a clone and which I have also modified like 50-default.conf.
The file /etc/rsyslog.conf (configuration file for rsyslogd) exists and its last line reads:
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf
which presumably should force rsyslogd to read 50-default.conf at startup.
Looking at the running processes I can see that rsyslogd runs.

I'm using the 270.41.19 nvidia properietary driver for my Geforce GTX460 graphics card. I have a Sony TV connected to my HDMI and I know it supports the 1920x1080 resolution. Yes it works after gnome or other DE loads up.
But during the GRUB screen and the bootup console - It defaulted to a 640x480 resolution (as it always does with the nvidia prop driver). I usually used to check the output of hwinfo --framebuffer and choose the resolution by appending the right vga=0xabc parameter.
But now I have a problem since hwinfo says the best widescreen 16:10 framebuffer resolution that my card supports is 1280x800. Here is the output from hwinfo --vbe which should give the info about both my gfx card and my TV.
The initial nouveau driver was able to output native 1920x1080 during the bootup on the console without issues, so I guess even the properietary driver should be able to output (If my understanding is right the nvidia module loads later during the bootup and only is required for the X but not for the console itself).

is there any way to disable kernel messages on the console? The problem I have is that it is almost impossible to work on the console due to a flood of file system errors from the kernel.
I've checked /etc/syslog.conf and disabled kernel logging to the console. Even with syslog turned off the messages still flood the console.

I'm running slack64 13.0. At initial boot i see the two penguins and text from th kernel scrolls past until my root partition is mounted where upon all messages stop until the console prompt or KDM pops up. Everything seems to be operating as normal but i've no idea whats happening during the rc scripts (FS checking, etc). When shutting down though the rc.6/rc.0 script messages appear in the console though.
To my knowledge i've not changed anything that would effect this (just modified inittab for runlevel 4 & tty4,5,6 in runlevel 4).
There's nothing in dmesg but most messages don't get logged there as i understand.

I want to know if there is a way to disable the GUI console on 10.04 Server I want the traditional pure text console ... no plymouth, no plymouth-theme, just 80x24 console. Another question, Is there a way to get those traditional messages when booting? Like 8.04 Server does?

After upgrading from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4 the console output stops during bootup at various points (during init final scripts processing and when the tty1 auto login). This is a colinux environment but has nothing do with the problem as it is the same version of colinux kernel that works correctly with 9.10 but exhibits the problem with in version 10.4 Lucid.
when tty1 using mingetty auto logs in the .profile file starts the gnome-session (command: DISPLAY=$DISPLAY dbus-launch gnome-session &) and when the panel comes up the shutdown button is disabled when it should be enabled.
However, if during the bootup when the console output stops, I immediately toggle to virtual console 2 (tty2) and immediately toggle back to virtual console 1 (tty1) it restores the output to the console and when bootup completes the gnome panel has the shutdown button enabled as it should be. Some times when the console output stops it looks like a screen clear was issued and other times the lines remains an the screen. I added --noclear to the line that calls mingetty in /etc/init/tty1.conf but is has no effect.

I am using Arch Linux and want to disable console messages which are displayed when the kernel boots. I have tried the quiet and loglevel=2 options in /boot/grub/menu.1st as given below:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/c6dbfcdc-fcd8-498e-9182-f3bddc4f05ff ro loglevel=2
However I am still seeing console messages at boot. I used grub-install after the changes.
Any ideas where I am going wrong?

What i'm trying to accomplish seems rather silly but is needed for my little project here.
I'm using OpenSuSE 11.2 as a media center PC and need it to login automatically(console not X). That one i accomplished without problems.
However, after login i can see all the info about the services that were started and that needs to "go away".
One could do a "clear" in the .bash_rc and or .bash_profile but it will still show the login prompt which i don't want to see either (i don't even want to see the blinking cursor as well).
Question: How do i accomplish that so that the login console shows only the "splash screen" without any output of the kernel,rc.status nor the "issue-file"... just a plain blank screen ?

Slackware 12.0 (GNU/linux kernel 2.6) I am said slackware is very stable (I suppose this means it has few bugs). However, every time I run startx to start the graphical interface, for a brief moment I can see (just before the screen is put in graphical mode) a lot of error messages. How can this be? I use slack 12 a lot and have reinstalled this distro many times. However the described behavior always repeats.

Have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a couple of Dell Inspiron 2650 laptops (both 512M memory) and when they run, they're great, but they only successfully boot up maybe 10% of the attempts. Most of the time, the touchpad and keyboard are inoperative, but I recall sometimes the enter key gets me past my user Id to input password. Trying to enter recovery mode isn't any better, but once into recovery, I'll boot up in safe graphics, but it is probably only running because it succeeded in entering recovery, anyways. I have elected to to boot up in safe graphics, but they still both freeze. No error messages, just a frozen background/icons screen.
Ubuntu has searched the hardware and reports there's nothing requiring proprietary drivers installed.
After reading all the other problems posted, I figure my laptops are doing pretty darn good, but it sure would be nice not to set around starting up and shutting down, over and over.

When I boot up 9.10, very occasionally, I get a login screen directly after the page with the Ubuntu b&w symbol and before the colour page. It doesn't happen very often but usually when I am showing someone how good and quick Ubuntu is.

I installed Ubuntu via Wubi, but now when I boot up the computer, it asks me to select Ubuntu or Windows, then after I select Ubuntu, it takes me to the Grub menu, which also asks whether I want Ubuntu or Windows. I've had this on multiple computers, and it's not very useful. How to change this?

I have a pc with 1 GB RAM,Intel Core Duo CPU(1.86 GHz).Recently during formatting of the pc with new windows , I (accidentally)powered off the pc during the process.Due to which what has happened is there is no screen during the time computer boots up when switched on.Only when there is a login window,the screen becomes active.I even installed UBUNTU (which I am still using) on the whole hard disk but problem persists.The problem seems to be independent of the OS.

I have Lucid running on a Toshiba Portg R500. Last week it started hanging for just over one minute at the initial Toshiba screen. That is, the screen with the Toshiba logo and a series of boot-from options (HDD, CD, Network, USB) along the bottom. I don't know if the machine is even interacting with the OS at this stage. Also, neither Ubuntu nor the machine recognises the CD-ROM tray any longer. As in, I can't boot from CD and I also can't mount a CD when in Ubuntu. I can, however, boot from a USB startup disk (after the one minute delay).
I'm not sure how to collect helpful data on this sort of issue, especially since I can't see any threads that point to similar problems. The only strange thing I did the day this problem started was to forget to unmount a truecrypt-encrypted USB key before shutting the laptop off.
I've reinstalled Lucid but to no avail. I assume that whatever problem I have is a BIOS problem (and so strictly not for here)? As you can imagine though I want to make sure I've accounted for all other possibilities before fooling around with the BIOS.

I recently got a new laptop (Aspire 5741) and have installed ubuntu 10.4 on it. I have been very happy with the computer and OS. However the only problem I have had is that I am unable to change the screen brightness. Last night I though I found a fix. I cant remember the specific thing but it was something similar to this [URL]. On reboot the ubuntu logo came up and a few seconds later it showed a distorted ubuntu logo. After this it just goes to a black screen. I have tried booting into recovery fail proof graphics mode, and the problem still arises.

I have a clean install of slackware 13.37, downloaded today from slackware64current. On boot, I get a black screen - not just black, but no video signal out of the video card, or at least nothing that the monitor recognizes. Fortunately, I can ssh into the box from another machine. If I do, I can startx and xfce starts up and appears as expected. lspci shows:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9714
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 6898
I have an onboard video chipset with a monitor connected to it, and an ATI 5970 in a pcie slot with a monitor also connected to it. xfce appears on the pcie card (the 5970) as expected, as this is (supposedly) the primary monitor, and the monitor connected to the onboard video output is blank - no signal, also as expected as I have not yet installed the ATI drivers. So the question is - how do I get the terminal output on bootup to appear on one of my monitors? I'm not sure where it is going, and this is out out of my area of expertise.

when trying to startup Ubuntu 10.04 the screen goes blank and says no signal. But there are three Ubuntu's to chose from. the middle one will boot-up and works all right. But for when it is starting up the screen flashes and comes back on. the top one doesn't work at all screen goes blank but the lights on tower stay on.
the bottom one starts to boot but when it gets to the screen for your id and pass. it goes all blank but for a white line on the right side of the screen. this is on an old e-machine with a dual boot windows xp home. currently with 1g of ram and a 160gb hard drive split in two. with an AMD processor and ATI graphics on board. cant remember the numbers after that come after Ubuntu on the grub it is listed three times. how do you remove the other. let me know if you need more info.

I'm using debian for the first time and I recently downloaded the Debian Lenny 201 Live CD to test it on my old computer (I'm planning to use Debian 5.0.4). It has a Pentium III (550 MHz) processor, 192 MB RAM, 8 MB graphics memory, 20 GB HDD with a monitor supporting 1024x768 resolution. The problem is, after the booting is complete a blank flashing screen appears with a cross-shaped cursor in the middle. I continues and nothing happens. I tried with solutions like editing the entries with 'live xdriver=fbdev', 'live xdriver=none', and 'live vga=771'.
