I setup a new ubuntu quantal system and edited /etc/default/grub
as follows:
# If you change this file, run update-grub afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
GRUB_TERMINAL=console
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
# Uncomment if you dont want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=false
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY=false
# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
Afterwards I ran update-grub
which reported no errors. However /boot/grub/menu.lst
still has "quiet splash" in the kernel command line:
title Ubuntu, kernel 3.5.0-17-generic
uuid 3f26e165-5167-43e5-8fa2-aa55f7919d2a
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-17-generic root=UUID=3f26e165-5167-43e5-8fa2-aa55f7919d2a ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-17-generic
quiet
title Ubuntu, kernel 3.5.0-17-generic (recovery mode)
uuid 3f26e165-5167-43e5-8fa2-aa55f7919d2a
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-17-generic root=UUID=3f26e165-5167-43e5-8fa2-aa55f7919d2a ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-17-generic
How can fix it, so get rid of the "quiet" and "splash" options?
