some notes on quiet boot in arch

quiet boot for arch

# for syslinux, you want something like this:
    APPEND root=/dev/sda2 rw vga=current quiet loglevel=0
    # OR
    APPEND root=/dev/sda2 rw vga=865 quiet loglevel=0

# edit the files systemd-fsck-root.service and [email protected] located at /usr/lib/systemd/system/ to configure StandardOutput and StandardError like this:
(...)

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-fsck
#### THE KEY LINES
StandardOutput=null
StandardError=journal+console
#### END
FsckPassNo=1
TimeoutSec=0

## to remove that last "clean: /dev/sda ..."
# you can turn off fsck in the boot params
# fsck.mode=skip

    APPEND root=/dev/sda2 rw vga=865 quiet loglevel=0 fsck.mode=skip

## quiet nvidia splash screen:

sudo nvidia-xconfig
# this will create a small /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
# typically, you will move this file (since arch doesn't use one centralized file)
# to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
# then, delete everything but the device section with nvidia in it and add
# the NoLogo line below

    Section "Device"
        Identifier     "Device0"
        Driver         "nvidia"
        VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
        Option "NoLogo" "true"
    EndSection
