I wanted to know if it is possible to disable the splashscreen at boot. The one where is says Ubuntu and it has the orange dots moving. I want to remove that and be able to see the commands like what you can see when it shuts down like stopping devices and stuff. Anyway this is is possible? Thanks!

Edit grub, paste this at a terminal: gksu gedit /etc/default/grub

Look for the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

and change it to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""

save.

Then at terminal paste this: sudo update-grub
