Graphical boot on PClinux LXDE
« on: June 13, 2010, 07:08:04 AM »
I installed  PClinux LXDE mini. The graphical environment start with the login not at boot. In preferences I settle the boot resolution to 1024x768 but I still see a verbose boot.

What he's talking about is having the splash screen instead of seeing what's loading. I've dug thru 2010 and it's just not there.

Check in /boot/grub/menu.list. If it says splash=verbose in the boot stanza, change it to splash=silent. This must be done as root (file manager superuser mode).

gksu leafpad /boot/grub/menu.lst brings up:

title linux
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=22834d68-7dc5-4a9d-b694-6aa72de3dac4  resume=UUID=0cb871f4-fa73-47cc-97ba-dbf7c4295073

From my menu.list:
Code: [Select]
title linux
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=c147f81d-4ec0-4747-ae52-60013a37f366 vmalloc=256M resume=UUID=79cec58a-3bd8-476f-b9b0-06e0b37d2e6b splash=silent vga=788
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img

Note that splash=silent vga=788 come at the end of the kernel line.
