SystemD / Grub resolution

ibm450

Hi all
I implemented the following as I didn't like the restriction of choosing or accessing my bios at boot:

sudo clr-boot-manager set-timeout 3
sudo clr-boot-manager update

My question is, just like in NixOS in the boot loader configuration, you can set the console mode to max. How can a similar configuration be applied to the clr Linux kernel or its corresponding grub entry?

I've managed to disable mitigations by setting the kernel parameter successfully, but achieving maximum resolution for the console (systemD) remains elusive

Example like mine in my NixOS:

https://github.com/tolgaerok/nixos-2405-gnome/blob/8817bc75f9617300a771d1b4d5cac39502b6be35/core/boot/efi/efi.nix#L29

Seems like this requires modifying the loader.conf on the ESP

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/loader.conf.html

(note you can mount the boot partition with sudo clr-boot-manager mount-boot)

Ok, these are the steps taken

sudo clr-boot-manager mount-boot

cd /boot/loader

sudo gedit loader.conf

added console-mode max into the loader.conf

so it looks like this:

timeout 3
console-mode max
default Solus-current-6.8.12-293.conf

saved and exit. i didnt execute sudo clr-boot-manager update as that wipes out the extra enteries in loader.conf

At reboot, i got the full resoultion on the systemD boot?

Your thoughts on how to keep this permanent ?

Quick access:

alias boot="sudo clr-boot-manager mount-boot && cd /boot/loader && sudo gedit loader.conf"

console-mode options:

console-mode max
console-mode auto
console-mode 0
console-mode 1
console-mode 2
console-mode keep

Didnt work, and followed as per to the instructions:

sudo clr-boot-manager mount-boot
sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/
sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/loader/entries
sudo clr-boot-manager list-kernels
ls /usr/lib/kernel
ls /lib/modules

sudo nano /boot/efi/loader/entries/solus-current.conf

linux /usr/lib/kernel/com.solus-project.current.6.8.12-293

options root=UUID=745a6698-6370-441f-9f94-fafd699ac04f quiet

sudo nano /boot/efi/loader/loader.conf

timeout 3
default solus-current
console-mode max
editor no

sudo clr-boot-manager update
reboot

ok found this on the live iso in the isolinux.cfg

So it is possible but where do i amend the same resolution into my systemd boot menu

ibm450 I'm afraid it's not currently possible to have clr-boot-manager keep the console-mode automatically. We have a feature request for this here.
