Boot status hide (ok) status

Hello, everyone,

I would like to introduce myself my name is Susanne and I have been working with arch-based Linux distributions on various laptops for 2 years.

At the moment I'm very enthusiastic about Artix Linux (since systemd is free). Today I installed Artix Plasma runit as a staple on a freshly formatted hard drive. Everything works.

Now I would like to know if it is possible to hide the (ok) boot status?

With Endeavouros, for example, this is hidden in the Grub menu
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=loglevel=3 nowatchdog nvme_load=YES quiet

Tried this with grub customizer but it doesn't work.

thanks for tips
Greetings Susanne

I used to change the default console to tty2 on GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
Code: [Select]
console=tty2
This gets rid of everything, good if you want a clear boot with no messages.

Thanks for the quick answer. But how can I exactly do that (manual)?

Open `/etc/default/grub` with a text editor and add "console=tty2" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

For example:
Code: [Select]
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 nowatchdog nvme_load=YES quiet"
would become
Code: [Select]
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 nowatchdog nvme_load=YES console=tty2 quiet"
After that just run the following to regenerate the grub.cfg through mkconfig
Code: [Select]
# update-grub

I would also comment out the lines 149 and 160 in /etc/grub.d/10_linux.

Artix USE="runit openrc slim openbox lxde gtk2 qt4 qt5 qt6 conky
-gtk3 -gtk4 -adwaita{cursors,themes,icons} -gnome3 -kde -plasma -wayland "

I don't use it myself as I like having the messages in case there is a problem they reveal, so don't know much about setting it up, but there is a package called plymouth which can do this kind of thing:

plymouth-nosystemd is available in the additional Artix "omniverse" repo:

Possibly there are alternatives to plymouth, but it seems to be the one most people talk about for this sort of thing.
