Same problem. I've edited the appropriate file /etc/grub.d/00_header to "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16". Then ran sudo update-grub to update the grub.cfg file. I then open the grub.cfg file to verify & it is updated. But when I reboot my computer I get the grub2 screen for OS selection, choose Ubuntu, then all I get is a blinking cursor on the upper-left.
I too have a nVidia card. Using the depreciated "vga=791" works. -- Unable to enable framebuffer modes with grub 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/428519 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
