How can I remove the GUI when booting qubes

[pieter lems]

Hello everyone,

First of all i would like to start of thanking the Qubes developers. I've been using QubesOS for around a month right now and i cannot wish for more. It's insane how much work you've put into the development of the OS and that you've come so far.

I was wondering how i can make it so that when qubes is starting i see the boot information (the output of the boot progress,im not sure how i should call it). I know that when u press a key it shows the output but i would like that it always shows. No offence to the GUI tho!

Thanks in advance,

Cheers!

I think that removing 'quiet' in /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg should
work but maybe you can modify other thing for do not lost the change
when upgrading dom0.

Once Xen finishes booting then the OS itself needs to boot, and that
grub boot entry probably needs the same 'quiet' key word removed. I
believe this grub file is generated from a script. so there is another
file that needs to be edited.

look at grub2-mkconfig command for more info

You can change the default behaviour of the Boot loader:

nano /etc/default/grub

[...]

GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"

[...]

Edit the line which has: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=[...] rhgb quiet"

remove rhgb quiet.

After this you need to write the new configuration to the Boot partition with:

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

This will show the default messages when booting up.

You might be using EFI boot. In that case, from dom0 edit your
/boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg file. Look for the kernel= line, and remove
"rhgb quiet" from there.
