Graphic Booting Options

[andy_t]

Probably a quick one, I want to see grub then text then login screen rather than any splash screens between grub and login (doesn't display properly since I'm using ATI drivers)... is there a way to see the loading text, ideally like ubuntu live in a higher res with colour?

Cheers!!!

sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
To this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
For Verbose:
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Save changes

sudo update-grub

That's great, knew it would be simple... any way to bump up the res from 640 to 1024 or 1280?

That's a good reference website, it covers the resolution settings for GRUB but not how to get Ubuntu to display the text loading in a higher resolution - much like the Live CD does.
