Boot time text messges - Pbowen - 06-09-2020
I would like to be able to see the text messages during u-boot initialization and OS boot. There is a section in the wiki about it, but I expect it's outdated. Here is what it says;
<snip>
By default most Linux distros have a boot screen with a picture. To see all the messages, use the following;
- Backup and edit the U-Boot configuration file:
chmod a-w /etc/default/u-boot.`date +%Y%m%d`
vi /etc/default/u-boot
Remove the quiet and splash parameters. Leave everything else alone.
- Update the U-Boot configuration:
u-boot-update
</snip>
On my fresh-from-the-factory Pinebook Pro I received in the last week of May 2020 there is no u-boot file in /etc/default and no u-boot-update.
So, how do I go about enabling boot time messages?
Thanks,
Patrick

@Pbowen , I've added a section for Manjaro on the Wiki. It's not perfect, as we don't get the early kernel messages. But, it's the first step.
