Changing grub purple interface to CLI

Question

I want to see all everything in booting like what is being loaded and all instead of grub purple Interface.. So is there any way to enable text kind of mode and disable that purple screen ??

If you press any arrow key(at the time of booting or shutting down) then your purple screen will change and will show you all the processes which are starting.. — Null pointer, Nov 17 '13 at 18:01

Type sudo gedit /etc/default/grub. Look for the line that reads:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="vesafb.invalid=1 splash quiet"

remove the splash quiet part (yours might be different, so don't change anything but that). Save the file.

Now type sudo update-grub. Reboot, no more purple screen.

In the boot menu, press E. Look at the end of the line starting with linux for splash quiet. Remove splash quiet (do not touch anything else) press Ctrl + X. No purple screen.
