Hi, > The problem is that when it is booting, the latest console messages are off the bottom of the screen so that I can't see what it's doing How does that look exactly? I mean how are you sure there are some more lines you can't see ? Do you see the last line like a cut in half suggesting there's more off-screen ? If the Full HD resolution isn't working well in your setup, you may try to force a lower resolution by trying out 'video=1024x768' or 'vga=0x318' kernel parameters. -- Michal Schorm Software Engineer Core Services - Databases Team Red Hat -- On Thu, Jun 6, 2024 at 6:01 PM Greg Woods <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I've spent about an hour searching without finding an answer. Is there any way from the kernel command line (i.e. by editing the GRUB entry) to control the number of lines on the console? I installed Fedora 39 on a USB stick so that I can use it to boot other computers to diagnose problems with the installed OS. The problem is that when it is booting, the latest console messages are off the bottom of the screen so that I can't see what it's doing (this is on a standard 1920x1080 HD monitor in this case). If the boot hangs, then of course the last few messages are the crucial ones to see. > > Once the machine is booted, of course, then I can log in and use tools such as "stty" to set the number of rows and cure this problem, but I need something that will take effect during system startup before the login prompt comes up. > > Thank you, > --Greg > > -- > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
