From 5582aa8e31bf88f981caedeb4fbbb758486b6ca7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher Baines Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2019 21:36:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] system: Change default kernel-arguments to '("quiet"). This improves the readability of the boot process, especially when using full disk encryption where you're required to enter the passphrase at a particular point. * gnu/system.scm ()[kernel-arguments]: Change the default to '("quiet"). * doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference): Document this change. --- doc/guix.texi | 2 +- gnu/system.scm | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/guix.texi b/doc/guix.texi index 785329add8..3ec1cf852a 100644 --- a/doc/guix.texi +++ b/doc/guix.texi @@ -10461,7 +10461,7 @@ The package object of the operating system kernel to use@footnote{Currently only the Linux-libre kernel is supported.
