I know this has been asked but on slightly different terms. I would like to remove it so that I can see the code behind. Not one off but every time it is shutdown and started. Thaknk you in advance.

I recommend just editing your /etc/default/grub
.
Change
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
Remember to update grub afterward with sudo update-grub
at the command line.
Comment: Originally, I put GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"
. Note this will end your boot process at the command line. After (possibly) having to login with username and password, startx
at the prompt will start up your usual GUI.

@Luke I'm glad it helped. I hope you didn't run into a problem like the others. See my revised answer. Apr 11, 2012 at 23:24

@erdemkeren See my edited answer if you need to get back into the GUI. Alternatively, you can edit your grub again using the
nano
editor, which is a friendly console-based editor. Apr 11, 2012 at 23:37 -
No problem about recovering. Just wanted to inform others. Thanks for reply. Apr 12, 2012 at 21:58
For a single boot process, you can interrupt Grub e (edit), move the cursor to the kernel you want to start, e edit the line with the kernel and remove the
splash quiet
or change them to
nosplash noquiet
A persistent solution would be to modify your /boot/grub/menu.lst file from:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-39-generic root=UUID=01-cafe ro quiet splash locale=de_DE
to:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-39-generic root=UUID=01-cafe ro locale=de_DE
(your locale might vary). After installing a new kernel, the new one will again have the default settings. Modify in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noquiet nosplash"
if you have such a file. See
info grub
on how to change your grub settings in general. There is a graphical customize for grub: https://launchpad.net/grub-customizer but I haven't tested it.

@enzotib: menu.lst is present in 10.04, the current LTS version of (X/K)ubuntu. It isn't gone, and it isn't gone long ago. Apr 11, 2012 at 9:50

@enzotib: Afaik, with Grub2 the way the menu.lst file is modified has changed, but the file is still in use. I'm always updating my Linux installation and my /etc/grub.d dir is from 4.2010. The
20_memtest86+
file therein contains the note:older versions of grub2 do not have this yet (LP: #459080)
so my impression is, that I'm using a kind of grub2. /etc/grub.d wasn't there with the former grub. Apr 11, 2012 at 16:44
