I like both Onyx and Main Menu, but Main menu is a bit more flexible in my opinion

My first listen – great fun and informative. Before converting to mac myself recently I ran with linux so I can offer this small addendum to your verbose mode startup.
You can save yourself some frantic scribbling and potential eye injury by booting as normal (or in verbose mode – whichever). Just open a Terminal and enter the command: sudo dmesg
to be shown the output that may have scrolled past too fast for you to catch. Also this command: sudo dmesg > startup.log
should make a file in your home folder for you to study at your leisure.
HTH
May the source be with you.

Hi Victor! Love the show. I’m a relatively new Mac user and podcast listener since September of last year and have benefited alot from this podcast! Infact, you could say you helped lean me towards buying my Macbook!

I have a question regarding Main Menu and Onyx. Which one do you think is more powerful/better?

I currently use Onyx because my brother-in-law recommended it to me and have been wondering if Main Menu is any better?

Thanks Victor!

Great fun, Victor. I think I’ll become a regular listener/caller to the live show as well (been a fan of the original since the beginning)

Mark her is the command that permenantly turn on “Vermose Mode” Command

Enter the command: sudo nvram boot-args=”-v” in the Terminal. Then restart.

Victor,

Another great and fun show. Sorry I couldn’t stick around for the Apple sing-a-long. Have a great time on vacation. With all the hard work you have been putting in of late you deserve a little R&R.

I too will be gone starting Saturday (cruise to the western Caribbean) but I know you left the TMUP show in good hands.

Buena Suerte!

Steve mentioned a terminal command to permanently turn on verbose booting mode….. Anyone have a link?
