I sincerely apologize if this ends up wasting people's time. I'm afraid I already edited grub, since I was desperate to get a working system again.
I've attached /var/lib/ucf/cache/\:etc\:default\:grub I do not understand - this shows 'quiet' and 'splash' and doesn't include the i915 mode. It's dated July 24 2018. ** Attachment added: ":etc:default:grub" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1823259/+attachment/5253434/+files/%3Aetc%3Adefault%3Agrub -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1823259 Title: Update from grub-common AMD64 2.02-2ubuntu8.12 to 2.02-2ubuntu8.13 removed some Grub settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1823259/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
