Description Pacho Ramos 2013-07-20 10:05:46 UTC

When I boot my systemd, I hardly can see the "[OK]" messages as they are mixed with a ton of output from kernel and some .services that are being started. For example, I see a mix of messages from usb handling (from kernel I think), bluetooth, fsck from reiserfs...

I think would be much better to try to only show the "[OK]" outputs (except when an error occurs), relying on "journalctl" for knowing the rest of outputs

Thanks

You need to shut up the kernel by adding "loglevel=" or "quiet" to the kernel
command line. It's the kernel itself which writes that to the console, not
systemd. Systemd has no business really to fiddle with the kernel log level.

I was using "quiet" when running openRC but, when moving to systemd, I noticed "quiet" was also making all the systemd output to be silenced :O

Yeah, sure, use loglevel=, or explicitly tell systemd to put out the status:
  systemd.show_status=1
