Moved from supervised to haos 🤯

So today I’m in the process of setting up a fresh debian system for moving back to a supervised install.

This time I installed the minimal debian 11 and right away checked if the system boots without display/keyboard and here are my findings:

  • no keyboard doesn’t look a problem at all
  • no monitor causes grub indeed to don’t let the system boot by default

If the etc/default/grub file is changed from it’s original state

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

to this one:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

(changes quiet to nomodeset and timeout form 5 to 0)

the system boots without a display :rocket:

I wonder if such a change could me also added (or included?) to HaOS :thinking:
