Hide Shutdown text

Post by OrbitalPi » Tue Mar 20, 2018 4:41 pm

Hi there guys,

Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere else, but i have scoured high and low and for the life of me can not find diddly.

How do I go about hiding the shut down text that is displayed when I power off the system?

I've got everything pretty much down to the point where you wouldn't know that the system is raspberry pi based, and this is the last little niggling thing for me.

Many thanks in advance for any help! :) :) :)

What are the contents of your /boot/cmdline.txt ?

Alas I've looked through my boot.cmd and I can't find it there.

Plus also correct me if I'm wrong, the shut down text wouldn't be in the boot.cmd?

Or if there is something I need to add to boot.cmd I obviously don't have it on the line.

I can't post what's in it at the moment as I'm currently at work.

Try adding "systemd.show_status=0" to your /boot/cmdline.txt

Thanks @MegaLoop

I'm assuming this hides all text both on boot and shut down?

In theory it should hide all text on boot and shutdown... but you know what they say about theory and reality: In theory they are the same, in reality they are not.

Provided it's coming from systemd all text should disappear. Don't have a Retropie up and running yet, but this is what I did with OSMC.

Will probably only work after first reboot as cmdline.txt is getting read at boot, hence it's location in /boot

So popped that in and it appears that it doesn't remove that shut down text.....

Let us pray that the good lord that is @kite can shed some light on to this conundrum

Well that's a bummer. I'm no expert, just trying to offer help from my own experience.

I assume this is what you have in place to disable boot text already? https://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=49

Hope you get this resolved! Sorry I couldn't help.

Code: Select all

logo.nologo
