Fedora 14: How to enable/disable Fedora Logo on boot time process ?

[Joe911]

Hi

Could anyone help me out to put the right configuration parameters in the grub.conf file so I can enable or disable the Fedora Logo on boot time ?

Currently I'm seeing 3 bars being filled on boot time. I need to get back the Fedora Logo during the boot time process.

How can I do this ?

Thanks,
Joe

Hello,

I think you are looking for (rhgb)
Add that to the end of the kernel line next to quiet

[smr54]

If this happened after an update, it may just mean that for whatever reason, plymouth can't properly handle your graphics card. I suspect you already have the rhgb quiet thing in your kernel line, otherwise, you'd see boot up messages, rather than the line.

I'm afraid I don't have the solution (I'm one of those people who prefers to see the text messages during boot, so I remove that rhgb line and don't get affected by Plymouth issues.)

After upgrading from 11 to 13 and then to 14 I had the Fedora logo that slowly morphed during boot (no text mode). Previously with 11 I had a bar on the bottom of the screen that proceeded, changing color from left to right. Now, for some reason, I am back to the bar. I'd like to get the Fedora logo back, although it's really unimportant - as long as everything works, who cares?

I checked and I do have rhgb at the end of the boot line next to quiet in the grub.conf file.

JohnJasonJordan, could you post the contents of your grub.conf?
==============================================
For example, the following is mine.

[root@localhost ~]# more /boot/grub/grub.conf

"...
default=0
timeout=15
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.35.10-80.fc14.i686.PAE)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.35.10-80.fc14.i686.PAE ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet
initrd /initramfs-2.6.35.10-80.fc14.i686.PAE.img

Here it is:

Note that everything is working fine - no problems booting. I just don't get the nice Fedora logo.

The link points to a thread about how to disable the splash screen. I want to enable the Fedora splash screen.

Unless by "#rhgb" you meant that rhgb is a root command that will enable it.

[JamesNZ]

Another way to disable the splash screen without changing anything is by pressing ESC during boot. The reason the 3 bars are appearing is because its using a basic video driver.
Whenever I install Fedora I have to install it with a "Basic video driver" because otherwise the weirdest things happen to my graphics.

[kkshethin]

I also want to know how to enable back fedora CUP loading. (After installing ATI drivers as suggested by leigh123, it now shows strips)

[AlbertP]

Choose resolution and color depth that both graphics card and monitor support, then lookup the vga= key in the table here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/vga-boo...en-resolution/, http://pierre.baudu.in/other/grub.vga.modes.html, or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BI...o_mode_numbers.

As it is Fedora, don't edit the menu.lst file, but the grub.conf.
