# Ubuntu 18.04: Disable Quiet Splash

To see the output as the kernel loads (useful for debugging), we need to edit the file /etc/default/grub:

There will be a line:

```
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
```

Replace it with:

```
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
```

Now run:

```
$ sudo update-grub2
```
