-Look for the line that starts with <color #ed1c24>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT</color>, and comment out that line by prepending # sign. This will disable the initial splash screen, and enable verbose mode (i.e., showing the detailed booting procedure).

+The updated GRUB default configuration looks like the following:
+\\
+<file>
+# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
+# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
+# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
+#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

+GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
+GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
+GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
+# GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="text"
-Next, uncomment the line that says "#GRUB_TERMINAL=console".
-The updated GRUB defult configuration looks like the following.
+# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
+# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
+# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
+#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"
+# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
+GRUB_TERMINAL=console
+# The resolution used on graphical terminal
+# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
+# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
+#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
+# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
+#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
+# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
+#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
+# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start

+Now use update-grub command to re-generate a GRUB2 config file in /boot based on these changes.
+\\
+\\
+    sudo update-grub
+\\
+For systemd-enabled desktop only: If your desktop uses systemd (e.g., for Debian 8 or later or Ubuntu 15.04 or later), there is one additional step needed. That is to change the default target from "graphical" target to "multi-user" target. Skip this step if your desktop does not use systemd.
+\\
+\\
+    sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
+\\
+Now reboot and hopefully you will be at a text based login prompt.
