A couple of odd changes in the boot display recently. I run the
non-graphics version; that is /etc/default/grub contains the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 SYSFONT=True KEYTABLE=us rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8"
Note that the line does not contain "rhgb quiet".
The issues are
* A few months ago, the font in the display changed from a small
font to the standard console display font, the same one used by
the BIOS, also the penguins at the top of the screen
disappeared.
* Recently, starting yesterday, the messages are displayed
simultaneously with a version of the graphic startup message;
this one is a bar at the bottom of the screen showing white and
two shades blue that move across the screen from right to left
summarizing boot progress. The attempt to show both makes a
mess of the screen. The double display starts immediately after
the message "Welcome to Fedora 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat)!" appears.
* The halt process (equivalent to "$ shutdown --poweroff", but
usually started from the KDE panel) frequently pauses for long
periods of time or freezes completely. I can usually, though
not always, get it unfrozen by pressing the start button on the
computer.
I'm not sure what connection, if any, there is between all these, but it
looks suspicious.
Thanks - jon
