Quieting Grub (make grub less verbose)

[0E 800]

A hobby of mine is customizing OS's, mostly just working my way up the ladder of distros.

One thing I try to achieve is a seamless boot. (Grub to Plymouth splash to DM-login) No boot messages destroying the illusion.

Here are a few tricks I use to achieve what I call a flawless silent boot.

1) Remove Tux (cpu penguins)
The Tux penguins show up at boot and each penguin represents a cpu. So more cpus more penguins. Fucking annoying unless your a fanboy I guess.
To remove the penguins:

Code: [Select]

sudo nano /etc/default/grubadd

Code: [Select]

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="logo.nologo"Save.

Code: [Select]

sudo update-grub
sudo reboot


2)
Remove the 'Loading Kernel 4.x ....' 'Loading ramdisk ...'
I already know what kernel I am loading, I installed it. I dont need this shit popping up every boot.
To remove:

Code: [Select]

sudo geany /etc/grub.d/proxifiedScripts/linuxin two places you need to change:

Code: [Select]

echo '$(echo "message" | grub_quote)'to

Code: [Select]

#echo '$(echo "message" | grub_quote)'
|comment out those 2 lines and save.

Code: [Select]

sudo update-grubReboot.

*!*Note: You will most likely have to apply these edits every-time grub is updated. Usually when apt-get dist-upgrade is used.

Hope you find this useful instead of spending hours looking up ways to achieve it without recompiling the kernel.
