How do I enable verbose mode at boot?

How to make natty boot in verbose mode. Changing option GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" in /etc/default/grub doesn't effect in natty.

Solution 1:

Try nosplash debug. If you want output from upstart too, add --verbose

Solution 2:

Changing

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""

in /etc/default/grub is correct, but you also need to run update-grub for it to take effect.

Solution 3:

Hit Esc any time to see the text. For permanent changes, uninstall all plymouth themes, including text ones, and in /etc/grub/default uncomment the line to enable console.
