I just installed a new server and put quantal on it to check it out. With the old CRT it came up with the login prompt, but it blinked on and off with a duty cycle of about 4 seconds, and eventually blanked and never came back.
All was working though because I could ssh in and do any work I needed. I found this annoying so I took the drastic step of upgrading my reliable 15 year old CRT with a brand new Samsung screen. Now, it goes through the BIOS screens, shows the grub screen... and then total black out forever after. For the hell of it I tried pulling it off the KVM switch because sometimes badly broken systems cannot work through KVM's. Guess what? It works now, shows a stable virtual terminal prompt. So what is the issue? The Ubuntu boot disk has no problems with it. Other machines attached to the KVM have no issues either. Anyone know of a work around? A change in initrd? A change in /etc/default/grub? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
