Description Jiri Slaby 2012-10-25 13:47:55 UTC

I do not use plymouth or any other splash screener.

When I choose to shutdown the system, I see no messages from the "init" scripts (like shuting down ntp, sshd, etc.), nor from the kernel (rebooting/halting system). Some of them can be seen on the 12th console, but this is not what I used to see with sysvinit. Where are all those messages, as I didn't find them on any console?

I assume you already tried booting without "splash=silent quiet" and WITH  "plymouth.enable=0" right ?

I don't even have plymouth installed, so I believe the latter is not needed. And the former should have no effect on printing important messages. At least this is how it works on my second machine with serial terminal as a console...

Comment 3 Frederic Crozat 2012-11-20 14:07:00 UTC

as described in systemd(1) manpage, "quiet" on kernel cmdline will hide services starting/stopping messages on boot / shutdown, unless you specify "systemd.show_status=1".

When plymouth is installed, pressing esc switches show_status on (by creating a file in /run/systemd/show-status )

Yes, systemd.show_status=1 shows them. It's sad one has to add parameters to have the behavior.
