Public bug reported: When changing to tty[1-6] no login prompt is chown.
Instead: a black screen appears (even no blinking underscore in the top- left corner, like in hardy). When choosing tty1 it go back to tty7 (graphic mode). I fixed partially doing this: sudo vi /etc/initramfs-tools/modules added fbcon and vesafb sudo update-initramfs -u -k all -v sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer added comment to vesafb #blacklist vesafb as found in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/15560 Now, it doesn't revert to tty7 , no other problems exist, everything else is ok, system is ok. (I've done the same thing in hardy and now it works) This happens on a HP EliteBook 8530w w/Nvidia Quadro 770. This is a fresh installation no major changes have been made, I'm using the nvidia driver non-free version 177. Grub was changed in order to get the correct resolution: boot options ro vga=893 (no splash, not quiet and 1920x1200) kernel is 2.6.27-11-generic. Release Ubuntu 8.10 - 64bit If any further information is needed I'll be glad to help.
