Hi Reza!
Reza Alizadeh Majd 写道:
I want to hide the boot process logs in Guix, having a quick
search I
found that I can use following options in grub configuration
file:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Forget this line. No part of it makes sense on Guix (except
‘quiet’, which is handled by the kernel itself, and see below for
that).
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (and similar-looking variables) is used
only by the ‘update-grub’ utility on some distributions that uses
a bash configuration file to configure a bash script that creates
the final (bash-like) grub.cfg.
As it sounds, it's a pretty horrible system, and it's not used by
Guix at all. grub.cfg is generated entirely by Guix itself, based
on your operating-system record and previous system generations.
Adding ‘splash’ is equally specific to some other distribution,
and has no effect on Guix System.
There is no splash screen code in Guix. Plymouth has been
packaged, but there's no code to launch it at boot. I haven't
even managed to make a ‘flicker-free boot’ happen on my i915.
the problem is that based on current bootloader definition,
there is no
option exposed for additional grub configurations (or I might
missed
the proper option for this).
(operating-system
...
(kernel-arguments '("quiet")))
This will hide many but not all messages. A silent boot, with or
without a splash screen, is currently not a feature of Guix.
Kind regards,
