Re: very simple settings question

Open up grub menu with:
alt+F2 and do

kdesudo kate /boot/grub/menu.lst

give your password at the prompt.
Fine the line for your installation.

It should look something like this:

title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-12-generic
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-12-generic root=UUID=6f2a0b1a-efa6-4674-9b53-0dbea6e60a44 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-12-generic

delete "quiet" and save.

Hope that helps

In addition, if you wish the setting to stick after kernel updates, also edit the line:
# defoptions=quiet splash
into
# defoptions=splash

Re: very simple settings question

well, I had to reinsert the option "quiet" since the boot hanged...

this 9.04 is really full of settings troubles...

thanks
