I doubt that is true. If your system did not finish starting a few minutes after it was supposed to, would that not indicate to you that something is amiss? If you want to see boot messages, it's easy enough to change. Run: sudo nano /etc/default/grub Comment out the line beginning with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. The quiet and splash parameters are what tell the kernel not to show boot messages. Now run: sudo update-grub Reboot. Now you will see boot messages when the system starts. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
