anorris Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 This probably seems backward, but OS X is booting up in verbose mode even when i dont add the -v boot command, and as I know there are no errors going on in the background, I'd much rather see the pretty boot screen. So, can I turn verbose mode OFF? Hopefully someone will know how to fix this. Thanks for your time!

miliuco Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Go directly to the graphic mode: <key>Quiet Boot</key> <string>Yes</string> and delete the key <key>Timeout</key> <string>8</string> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13814-booting-in-verbose-mode/#findComment-87813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

miliuco Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'm sure this is a silly question, but where do I find those keys? You must activate the superuser (root). Afterwards, open terminal and type in: su root Password: cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ pico com.apple.Boot.plist You can edit the file, press F3 to save the changes and F2 to quit pico. Some ideas about com.apple.Boot.plist: - this file has, in XML format, some boot configurations - time to stop at the prompt (in sec.): <key>Timeout</key> <string>8</string> - to go directly to the graphic mode: <key>Quiet Boot</key> <string>Yes</string> - if a Timeout key exists, the prompt waits for that seconds in spite of the QuietBoot key - delete this 2 lines or leave blank the <string></string> content to avoid the verbose mode messages <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v</string> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13814-booting-in-verbose-mode/#findComment-88082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
