I often mess up with Ubuntu System so much that I can’t manage to boot the system. I always end up with being stuck at the splash screen with no clue what is going on in the background. So, I suggest that for every ubuntu user you should turn on verbose output during the boot. This can be achieved by:
- open /etc/default/grub, change quiet splash to empty string for `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT`.
# GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
-
Update to take effect:
sudo update-grub
