Basically, the flow used to be in 20.04: GRUB > Splash screen > Login prompt Currently in 22.04: GRUB > Splash screen > Messages (in the attached file) > Splash screen again for a sec > Login prompt All of those messages already existed in 20.04, the difference is that they were not appearing during boot. I was able to get rid of the "usb" related messages by just adding "loglevel=0" in GRUB. Currently is "quiet loglevel=0 splash". However, the fsck related message, I was not available to get rid of. Something definitely changed here. To me, these messages are not of enough relevance to be shown at boot by default. Obviously a minor issue, but important to the whole look and feel of the OS for desktop.
