How to enable processes status when booting GRUB

Hello ,
I admit my question will probably be very confusing and now well explained because I don't quite know how to address it. I apologise for that.

When I boot my ArchLinux I would like to see what session start before the Desktop manager starts up.
The sessions follow a "[OK]" such as:

[ OK ] session ***
[ OK ] GNOME

ecc...

Is it any way I can enable/disable this? Not sure if it is an intrinsic GRUB option or it has got to do with the init sessions that boot at launch.

I thought it was the GRUB debug, but I later found out it is not.

I apologiese for the very bad exposition of my question, but I hope someone can help me.

Please paste your grub config.

This looks like the stuff systemd prints when it boots up the system. But usually, you don't need to enable that. On the contrary, you would need to install additional software like a boot splash screen to hide this output.

Re: How to enable processes status when booting GRUB

Yes, it is part of the splash screen. I just like the idea of having the list of all the processes starting when booting up. I will look into that.

I ll try and report the grub.cfg but yesterday I had a hard time trying to copy from the text editor.

EDIT: Finally managed to copy and paste the conf. of grub.

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Preload both GPT and MBR modules so that they are not missed
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"

# Uncomment to enable Hidden Menu, and optionally hide the timeout count
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=5
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

# Uncomment to use basic console
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal
#GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=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=auto

# Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

# Uncomment if you want GRUB to pass to the Linux kernel the old parameter 
# format "root=/dev/xxx" instead of "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx" 
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true

# Uncomment and set to the desired menu colors.  Used by normal and wallpaper 
# modes only.  Entries specified as foreground/background.
#GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL="light-blue/black"
#GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT="light-cyan/blue"

# Uncomment one of them for the gfx desired, a image background or a gfxtheme
#GRUB_BACKGROUND="/path/to/wallpaper"
#GRUB_THEME="/path/to/gfxtheme"

# Uncomment to get a beep at GRUB start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

#GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="true"
