Removing all boot text

Sun Jun 28, 2020 6:04 am

I’m trying to remove all the boot text on start up on the the latest version of RPI OS. I have used the forum search function and tried may different commands but still see text on boot up.
When the PI is booting up and the RPI OS splash screen is present I get text on the bottom left just below the splash screen. Can this be removed or am I trying to do something that can’t be done.
I have successfully removed the rainbow pixel, and 4 raspberries on boot up.

How about turning the monitor/TV off (until the system is fully booted) ?

2) 64 bit OSes
3) USB 3
4) Bluetooth

Problem now resolved admin please remove.
It would be far more supportive of the community if you instead contributed a few words about how you solved your problem, for the benefit of others...

i found that by removing 2 lines here fixed the problem.

Open “/usr/share/plymouth/themes/pix/pix.script”
Then, remove (or comment out) lines below:
message_sprite = Sprite();
message_sprite.SetPosition(screen_width * 0.1, screen_height * 0.9, 10000);

Return to “Beginners”
