Title: Ubermix 1.x text on startup
Post by: Cytochromec on July 24, 2012, 11:43:52 AM

I am easing back from summer and getting the last tweaks on our Ubermix based on 1.052 for deployment and had a question about some text that displays on boot.
After an initial purple screen, there are 30ish lines of text that mostly list a number then:

init- failed to create pty - disabling logging for job (I couldn't attach a screenshot)

Then the Ubuntu logo shows up

There were always 5 or 6 text prompts on boot up, but this many could give users a bad impression. Ideally the system wouldn't have any text on boot except if a verbose option was selected. Any ideas on how to suppress these messages?

Thanks a bunch (especially for adding the wl driver for broadcom into the main Ubermix image!)

Pretty easy to solve, in fact I should probably just set this the default image. To fix:

• Boot in generic mode
• Open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t) and sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
• Locate the three lines that start with "linux" and contain the word "quiet". Add a space to the end of the line, followed by "--no-log" (without the quotes).
• Reboot and the messages should no longer appear.
