Force VERBOSE without removing quiet?
A recent change in 0.5.13 shows a new VERBOSE mode.
Removing "quiet" from the kernel command line in hardy triggers VERBOSE mode.
How do I trigger VERBOSE mode without removing "quiet" from the kernel command line?
Can it be added in usplash.conf to force VERBOSE on forevermore?

hello
I think there is a way..
you may be able to get what you want by changing the GRUB boot options from "quiet splash" to "noquiet".
Refer
man usplash
Or
man usplash_write
for more info..

I was more asking if there was a way to enable VERBOSE mode without touching menu.lst at all...
When I remove quiet or add noquiet, I get a long ~25 second scroll of x64 kernel boot messages before uspash even initiates.
I'd much prefer to keep the kernel shut up and still keep usplash's VERBOSE mode enabled.
Is there a way to configure this from usplash.conf?
Or am I better off if I add -v to the usplash start in the initrd?
Or alternatively, should I run usplash_write VERBOSE true somewhere in the initrd?
How would I go about doing so in Ubuntu Hardy, and where would I do this?

Okay, I've solved this for myself.
Edit /usr/share/
Original:
for x in $(cat /proc/cmdline); do
case $x in
splash*)
SPLASH=true
;;
quiet*)
VERBOSE=false
;;
esac
done
New:
for x in $(cat /proc/cmdline); do
case $x in
quiet*)
VERBOSE=false
;;
splashverbose*)
SPLASH=true
VERBOSE=true
;;
splash*)
SPLASH=true
;;
esac
done
Then run "sudo update-initramfs -u"
and change your kernel command line from "quiet splash" to "quiet splashverbose"
Good luck to anyone else!
