Missing option to hide grub and ACPI errors #162

Open wasantosfi opened 1 year ago

Problem

Some Elements (eOS users :) ) may not use other systems, so grub screen would be helpful if timeshift is used to execute a recovery process. PS: The fast use of NVMe, Emmc and M.2 would be better used to boot up.

Proposal

Insert a button (or radio button to turn on/off) in Settings > System > Operating System.
Turn on/off GRUB screen

Prior Art (Optional)

A work around solution for me is:

The pci=nommconf kernel parameter resolves almost all ACPI errors

# vi /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pci=nommconf"

Change battery/hard disk controller's mode in BIOS may also make sense to ACPI errors

An extra user defined config for grub to hide grub menu

#vi /etc/default/grub.d/eos.cfg 
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=0

Hi @sauntor , thanks for your response.

The extra user defined config to hide grub in fact works, where I've done it by using Grub Customizer.

I think ACPI errors can persist depending on notebook/motherboard vendor as well (it didn't work here). Another parameters can be used (eg.: acpi=off) but some users can (not a "rule") experience problems or touchpad or wifi not working (even fan control problems).

And, I think, for more novice users, the radio button or turn on/off button can be a good idea.

Best regards.
