Public bug reported: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=293789 for screenshots and explanation.
Basically, trying to go to the console from an x-session causes gibberish to cover the screen until I switch back to the x-session, which then fails to display and must be restarted. Showed up when I updated to Edgy Eft. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Consoles locked out and screen show complete garbage. https://launchpad.net/bugs/70581 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
