Re: verbose start up

You can do ctrl+alt+F1 (F2, I can't remeber) at boot in the normal slpashy mode and see verbose.

If you want it permanant do:

alt+f2-> type

kdesudo kate

(kate in superuser mode) give your paassword at the prompt and open /boot/grub/menu.lst.

Find this line (the line pertaining to your installation):

title Kubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (on /dev/sda3)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=29c4c362-2257-4a75-91c9-9bb36f96ace5 ro quiet splash vga=795
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
savedefault

yours will not look exactly like this but similar.

now delete quiet and splash.

Save and reboot.
You will have verbose mode.

Note: You can do the same by opening up /boot/grub in konqueror or dolphin and right clicking (konqueror) on menu.lst->actions->edit as root-> give password.
Or in Dophin just hover the mouse over menu.lst and choose edit as root on the right hand panel->give password.
