Magikx21 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Im running LE2005 and i was wondering if there was a way to get it to startup and shutdown in verbose mode instead of hitting esc at the boot screen?

adamw Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 kill the 'splash=silent' parameter in lilo.conf (IIRC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 as root, edit this file: /etc/lilo.conf replace splash=silent by splash=verbose (i.e. append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda3 splash=verbose") save, close. in a terminal, type lilo -c WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this file cheers.

metal1633 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Thats all good to know. Those lilo and boot slash screens are UGLY. Now tell me how to change the KDM theme and/or background. In the MCC it shows I am using KDM but when I use the KDE Login Manager to change the background, NOTHING CHANGES. I still have that UGLY MDK wallpaper on my login screen. I am using LE2005.

AussieJohn Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 There is no point in going the heavy and emphasizing the UGLY. It is only your opinion and your taste. The remark is insulting to all the people who have put the software together. It maybe ugly in your eyes but a heck of a lot of others, including myself, do not think so. John.

I fixed it by editing the kdmrc file and removing the MDK theme setting which was overridding the Login Manager settings. Now the Login Manger works the way it is supposed too.
