lollett Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Open a terminal (applications / utilities ) session. type: sudo -s (your password) cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ nano com.apple.Boot.plist your see a line with something like this <string>-v .........</string> remove the -v and leave the rest... Now ctrl x Save yes name (leave as com.apple.boot.plist) reboot Done!

i_am...me Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 What exactly is verbose mode? is it all the text that comes up while booting?

lollett Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Indeed - Verbose mode is the text. Turn it off and all you see in the grey screen with the spinner... Verbose mode just helps when diagnosing faults... i.e. if the system hangs during boot.

There is no verbose patch, only a verbose option switch (-v) that you can set when booting with Darwin. Follow the link in my above post, if you want to learn how to edit the boot file. hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64228-how-do-i-get-rid-of-verbose-mode-patch/#findComment-456926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollett Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hecker - I think Swami was talking about the "Verbose Patch" option you can select when yon install OSX - I know not a patch as such, but it does change the way it boots! Hi Swami.... The installation / upgrade of OSX changes alot of various different parts of the system, (it could be as simple as a configuration file change i.e. verbose mode, or copying different versions of files i.e. display drivers) So it's not as simple as asking for a quick list of how to undo all of them! A bit of a pain I know, but if you get problems during an install / upgrade check on here as there's usually somebody else thats done exactly the same thing... otherwise post for help!

~pcwiz Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 The Verbose Kexts or Verbose Patch option in the installation options screen misleads people into making them think that it actually installs a set of kexts to make it boot in Verbose. All it really does is add a line to the com.apple.boot.plist file.
