How do I hide the rEFInd boot text?












1















After I select an OS to boot to in rEFInd, it prints boot target and its options before booting.



Is there a way to disable this behavior?

          rEFInd provides some options to control what is and isn't displayed, http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/configfile.html should help you to configure what you want.

            Yes, the relevant option is use_graphics_for. From the docs for that option:



            # Launch specified OSes in graphics mode. By default, rEFInd switches
            # to text mode and displays basic pre-launch information when launching
            # all OSes except macOS. Using graphics mode can produce a more seamless
            # transition, but displays no information, which can make matters
            # difficult if you must debug a problem. Also, on at least one known
            # computer, using graphics mode prevents a crash when using the Linux
            # kernel's EFI stub loader. You can specify an empty list to boot all
            # OSes in text mode.
            # Valid options:
            # osx - macOS
            # linux - A Linux kernel with EFI stub loader
            # elilo - The ELILO boot loader
            # grub - The GRUB (Legacy or 2) boot loader
            # windows - Microsoft Windows
            # Default value: osx

              Did you manage to find a solution to this? I already tried changing the value to "use_graphics_for none" in the config file but the load options still appear in text form.
