Not on purpose. I guess that happened because these boot options are only set when booting for example Whonix-Workstation VM into Live Mode. Therefore overlooked.
Yes, that would be good.
Kernel command line persistent mode changes from ⚓ T950 set kernel.printk sysctl to prevent kernel info leaks were not added yet. But not sure we should add them yet. It’s not time to lower verbosity for Whonix-Host boot yet.
Perhaps rather the opposite. Add more verbosity?
Btw installing package debug-misc
on Whonix-Host ISO wouldn’t increase debugging because current implementation ignores that raw image’s /boot/grub/grub.cfg
(which is created from /etc/default/grub.d
, i.e. /etc/default/grub.d
is ignored) (for now hardcoded).
Could use a script to sanity check if kernel boot parameters are sync (no differences for Whonix-Host ISO) but not easy.
Why are kernel boot paramaters (such as spectre_v2=on spec_store_bypass_disable=on tsx=off
…) defined in both files:
is one redundant?
Could you please create tickets (separate forum topics) for anything that isn’t easy to resolve? [Don’t worry the forum tags too much. I can do these later.]
