hide verbose messages on restart/shutdown

[histographik]

I have Lucid installed on two PCs.
The PCs are identical except one uses the on-board Intel G33 video controller while the other has an nvidia 210 video card attached.
The nvidia PC restarts/shuts down without showing any console text messages, however the Intel based PC has the following problem.
The software on both machines is identical (except for the nvidia packages).

On restart or shutdown on the intel based PC plymouth gives way to a console for 2 or 3 seconds showing the following
(none of which are errors as far as i know)...

Broadcast Message from root@xyz-desktop
(unknown) at 11:44 ...

The System is going down for restart NOW!

* Deactivating Swap ...
* Unmounting weak filesystems ...

init: Disconnected from system busPlymouth then continues with the nice splash screen until the system either shuts down or restarts.

I know it's a very minor gui snafoo, but I'd like to understand why this is happening so I can fix it.
System is up-to-date and clean as of 2010-07-08.

Why're you even bothered? Just do yourself a favor and don't look at the screen! :popcorn:

Bump ... There is a real issue here, and i can't see the root of it. Anyone?

I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if you ever found a solution. I'm facing the same problem.

I haven't been able to find any information about what is generating the messages, which is sort of key to solving the "problem".

Possible solutions could include changing the text color (it will log, but the user won't see it), but ideally Plymouth would be started sooner to prevent a time when the screen is black or logging.

Any thoughts?

Wanted to post a solution I came up with to this very issue. I edited /etc/rc.local and added "clear" (sans-quotes) right above the exit 0 command. This results in a black screen instead of console output.

Cheers.
