What is Hush?❓

[anon72786180]

In "Garuda Boot Options" (A handy utility, thanks team Garuda!) there is an option under Messages for Hush Grub (add hush).

I can not for the very life of me find documentation for that kernel parameter. What is it? What does it do differently from quiet? Is it a Batman thing?

Thank you, lovely people, for your time.

All it does is add (or remove) the quiet kernel parameter from the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line in /etc/default/grub.

quiet

quiet or quiet quiet ?

@SGS

quiet quiet

I am not sure why that kernel parameter is on there twice! Interestingly, if you check “Regular Grub” in Garuda Boot Options it will remove them both, but if you re-check “Silent Grub” it only adds one back.

It adds/removes quiet hush
I know what quiet does. What’s hush for?

Oh! Does it make the user quiet during boot?

hush

Where are you seeing hush?

Are we looking at the same thing?

You may have an updated version…? The one I am looking at right now does not mention hush.

Is it setting up this file for you? ~/.hushlogin

Also touch ~/.hushlogin to remove the Last login message.

Hush little baby, don't say a word. Mama's gonna buy you a mockin' bird.

Hmm, is it possible it disables the bootsplash?

`ui->rb_limited_msg->setVisible(!ui->cb_bootsplash->isChecked());`

else if (line.startsWith("GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=")) {
            ui->lineEdit_kernel->setText(line.remove("GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=").remove("\"").remove("'"));
            if (line.contains("hush")) {
                ui->rb_limited_msg->setChecked(true);

You will have to test it out and let me know @anon72786180, since I don't have that one.
