Any Linux distribution has long come with great splashscreens , and those that don’t boot with a desktop environment, usually omit the boot details.

If we want to re-enable verbose boot , we have to touch GRUB. In the file /etc/default/grub , change the line /etc/default/grub , change the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

with

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""

and then update the configuration to make the change effective:

sudo update-grub

The next restart will show the service detail during startup:

Linux - stuck on boot - Server Fault
