Instructions for setting up your environment

Setting up Manjaro XFCE

Switch to non UI Boot screen to view grub logs.

1. Open a Terminal: You'll need to open a terminal on your Linux system.

2. Edit the GRUB Configuration File: Use a text editor with root privileges to edit the GRUB configuration file. The file is typically located at /etc/default/grub. You can open it with a command like:

   sudo nano /etc/default/grub

3. Edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT: In the opened file, look for the line that starts with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add the quiet splash parameters, if they are present, remove them. This line controls the boot options for the default kernel. It should look something like this:

   Before editing:

   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
   

   After editing (remove "quiet splash"):

   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
   

   Removing "quiet splash" will prevent the splash screen from appearing during boot and will display kernel and boot logs.

4. Save and Exit: Save the changes and exit the text editor. In Nano, you can do this by pressing Ctrl + O to save and Ctrl + X to exit.

5. Update GRUB: After modifying the GRUB configuration, you need to update GRUB's configuration file with the changes you made. Run the following command:

   sudo update-grub

6. Reboot: Finally, reboot your computer to see the changes take effect.
