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

[João Pedro Seara]

** Description changed:

  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.
+ Regarding the fsck related message, I can get rid of them by adding
+ "fsck.mode=skip".
  
- Something definitely changed here. To me, these messages are not of
- enough relevance to be shown at boot by default.
+ However, I do not want to just disable fsck or set the loglevel to 0.
+ This is not a sustainable solution.
+ 
+ Something definitely changed here. These messages are not of enough
+ relevance to be shown at boot by default, and they should remain hidden
+ like they were in Focal.
  
  Obviously a minor issue, but important to the whole look and feel of the
  OS for desktop.
