[Bug 1664066] Re: view boot messages

[Wolf]

I don't think this is good default behaviour. When you are in trouble
with your system, you often cannot even get to a console and do editing
work. You may not have access to the internet to find out how to enable
boot messages. You may not have the time or the relaxed mood to do that.

Look for forum entries on "boot messages" - they are so many, so many
people (me included) do not understand the concept.

Easily triggerable boot messages really should be the default.

Title:
  view boot messages

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Boot messages can be really live-saving.
  You can find lots of threads and discussions on the question "how can I make boot messages readable" - there are quite some ideas how to edit grub config files to achieve that, some may work, many do not.

  I think, it's a very basic requirement that a good OS can display boot
  messages, so I can easily see what's going wrong in the case something
  goes wrong. Some people may like the splash screen eye candy - well,
  granted.

  But in any case, there must be a trick to make the boot messages
  console visible with one single keystroke. In any variant and flavour.
  Always. Ever. And reliable.
