Public bug reported: I have tried setting vga=789, vga=791 and vga=792.
In Gutsy the result of using these settings for me was this bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/184822 In Hardy (development version) the result of using these parameters is that the text appears at boot time (checked by removing "quiet splash" from boot parameters). GDM successfully starts, but if I try to switch back to tty1 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor at the correct position. It "looks" like the text is the same colour as the background because I'm able to successfully log in and perform tasks from the terminal although the only thing I can see is a moving blinking cursor as I type the commands, and the programs give their outputs (I assume they give their outputs because the cursor moves just like it should if the text appeared). ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kernel vga parameter bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204425 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
