Fresh Karmic server install on Saturday evening, no legacy except for home. Also no modifying any grub settings, I'm afraid.
The installer CD put the -server kernel in (I happened to have the server CD on my desk), after the install I changed into ubuntu-desktop and generic kernel. That and a my own custom kernel both got the vga option added without any manual intervention. -- vga=799 is a deprecated boot option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454993 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
