That's the way that kernel parameters work: they are done "in order", so the last one wins. Let's say that you specified systemd.show_status=1 in grub config, but decide to have quiet boot for once and append 'quiet' in the bootloader menu. Here a behaviour opposite what you're suggesting is the expected one. Those are debugging options, and too much finesse isn't required. Let me amend that: I'm not against such a change in principle, but I just don't think it worth the complexity. If you can come up with a decent patch, it'll be merged. Created attachment 90346 [details] [review] Patch to make systemd respect the show_status kernel parameter even if quiet is set This patch will make systemd respect the show_status kernel parameter even if it is specified before "quiet" on the command line. OK, that would work, but it's not really in style. Can you make arg_show_status and int, and then set it to 1 when set with systemd.status=1, and to -1 when set with quiet, and change the condition to check if it is <= 0 when setting is with quiet?

Do you mean arg_show_status or my show_status_set variable? If I would arg_show_status = 0 as the default, the show_status would default to off where it should be on? If you mean show_status_set, I'll update the patch with your suggestion. Regards, Rik (In reply to comment #5) > Do you mean arg_show_status or my show_status_set variable? If I would > arg_show_status = 0 as the default, the show_status would default to off > where it should be on? arg_show_status. If it has three states, it should be enough to accomodate all cases. Hi, It seems this was fixed by commit d450b6f2a9dd8a7fb14e9f8f771ddd70de7afc5e. The commit introduced an 'auto' option for systemd.show_status and it looks like it now also works when systemd.show_status is before the quiet parameter on the kernel command line (not tested). So marking this as resolved. Regards, Rik |
