[…] when I used Alt-F1 to switch to show the boot messages it didn’t work like expected. It started to show the text boot messages but then changed back to the splash screen. Once I hit Alt-F1 I want it to stay on the text scroll, not go back to the splash.
I have this mostly fixed. It works rather well and the switch to tty1 is remembered on shutdown (from X windows) which is cool. For a “normal” boot where no input is needed from the user then we stay on tty1 after you
The exception is when I have pre-programmed switches back and forth, such as for user input via text menus or selecting the size of persistence files. In these cases I will switch back to the splash screen after the user input is completed. I think this will be fine but we’ll see. If you disable tsplash by not using the “splasht” boot parameter then we always stay on tty1.
