    Ubuntu boot is always in verbose !

    My Ubuntu boot sequence is stuck in verbose mode currently, I once wanted to see the potential error messages but now that my system is perfectly stable I don't see the point of having to see these lines of text anymore. Can anyone help me getting rid of the awful verbose mode ? I tried everything I knew... <_<

    Each time I boot, I see the splash theme during 5-8 seconds and after that my screen goes right the the verbose mode.... <_<

    Here is à copy of my: /boot/grub/menu.lst


    Code:
    # menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
    #            grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
    #            grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
    #            and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
    
    ## default num
    # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
    # the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
    #
    # You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
    # is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
    # WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
    # array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
    default		0
    
    ## timeout sec
    # Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
    # (normally the first entry defined).
    timeout		3
    
    ## hiddenmenu
    # Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)
    #hiddenmenu
    
    # Pretty colours
    #color cyan/blue white/blue
    
    ## password ['--md5'] passwd
    # If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing
    # control (menu entry editor and command-line)  and entries protected by the
    # command 'lock'
    # e.g. password topsecret
    ## password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/

    Re: Ubuntu boot is always in verbose !

    Have you reformatted or resized your swap partition recently? Or installed another distro on another partition? No, I haven't gone barmy and, yes, I did read your post. The symptoms you describe are the result of a commonly-encountered bug. It's all to do with initramfs having the wrong UUID for the swap partition. See my first post (post #5) in this thread.

    If this is the cause of your problem, I've posted the fix there and also some useful links.

    Try adding "splash" as an option for defoptions then run:

    Code:
    update-grub
    Edit:
    Nevermind. I just noticed that "splash" is already there. I must have been fixated on seeing it with "quiet" and not noticed.

    Don't try to make something "fast" until you are able to quantify "slow".

    Just a few guesses ....

    1. vga=789 is probably not needed. Try removing it from your kernel options.

    2. Are you getting any error messages as you are booting ?
    There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

    No error messages

    My install seems perfect.

    I didnt try to mess with my swap or install any other OS on my hard drive.

    WOW IT WORKS !

    But now there is another problem...

    My progress bar doesn't seems quite useful as it doesn't progress like it should.

    My computer always shutdown, or boot before the progress bar reaches it's end.
