Strange lack of new lines when shutting down

Post by fgimian » 2019/01/20 10:57:43

Hey guys, hope you're all doing great. On a completely fresh install of CentOS 7 (specifically CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1810.iso) in a VM on both VirtualBox and VMware Fusion, I see output similar to that below:

Any idea why this is happening and if there's a way to correct it?

Huge thanks
Fotis

All my machines do that. Don't know why but I consider it unimportant myself. My personal suspicion is that the newlines are there, but the process that handles them may already have shut down by that time.

Try removing 'rhgb quiet' from the kernel command line in grub.cfg. It'll need a reboot to take effect.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Really appreciate your help, this did the trick! I found that I only needed to remove the 'quiet' flag to resolve the issue.

Thanks guys!
