Ok, guys & gals - I am not happy with the way Kubuntu 7.10 gutsy behaves during boot up on my machine.
I liked the way it was in dapper, when there was a logo and messages appeared under that. (rant) After dapper, things have gone worse and worse for each new kubuntu version. It appears that the developers have decided to do the microsoft thing - hide all technical information for "ordinary" users, and hope they develop the understanding that our operating system is simple. (/rant)
In gutsy, when I select kubuntu 7.10, the display goes black, and the monitor actually goes into power save mode "standby" triggered by some signal coming out of the kubuntu boot process. Then, after a minute or two, the monitor is released from standby, and I get the Kubuntu/KDE login screen in full GUI. (I have a rather slow boot due to a number of reiserfs disks. Reiserfs has more comprehensive file system checks at boot up than ext3. That is why it takes so long time, I think, but then again since I no longer can read the boot messages live and see what actually happens I don't really see the full picture).
My /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like this: (I removed almost all the lines starting with # in order to make the listing shorter and easier to read. I also omitted the entries for other OS and memtest, etc for the same reason)
As you see, I tried to turn of the quiet mode by putting a # in front of quiet in the last line shown. However, that had no noticeable effect. I gather that it probably wasn't the right thing to do..... What should I have done?
I also notice now that there is a "quiet" in the optionslist on the kernel line as well. Do I need to edit that too?
AS you understand, I am asking about almost everything concerning "How do I make my gutsy boot look like good ol' dapper?"
