[Bug 1970069] [NEW] Annoying boot messages interfering with splash screen, since upgrading to Jammy

[João Pedro Seara]

Public bug reported:

Since upgrading from 20.04.6 Desktop to 22.04, the boot screen is not as
clean as it used to be.

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.
