Hi everybody,
my Ubuntu Server sometimes doesn`t boot. So i wantet to look if there is something in the boot messages.
Normally they should appear when booting the system up.
For each task there is a line with the descritption and at the end of the line there is "[OK]" or "[FAIL]"
But my system doesn`t show this info. It shows a blank screen and then only shows me the login prompt.
Is there any way to disable this behaviour=
Thank you

to have a friendly & no worrying bootup, ubuntu have installed plymouth (5 dots you see while booting, but sometimes you get a black screen during a few seconds before to see it) to hide all these comments. If you need/want to see them, while you select your boot line inside grub menu, edit it (E) then remove "splash" and finally validate wiyh ctrl+x to boot.
To make it permanent:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
sudo update-grub
note: replace gedit by nano if you dont have a graphic interface

Hi,
thank you for your quick reply.
In my /etc/default/grub there is nothing with "splash"
If i boot and edit the boot line there is nothing with splash too.
Heres the /etc/default/grub:
