Public bug reported:
I recently updated a system from Focal to Jammy pre-release, and I've
found that the text-mode console (obtained by hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1) is
blank. It still seems to accept keyboard input; I can log in "blind" and
enter commands that have effects, but I see nothing on the screen. By
"nothing," I mean it's completely blank. I also see no kernel or systemd
boot messages when I set verbose boot mode by removing the "quiet
splash" options. The UEFI firmware's display continues to work, as does
the display of my boot manager (rEFInd).
Note that kernel options gathered by "ubuntu-bug linux" included with
this bug report may include a "vga" option, but I don't normally boot
with it; I was trying various options to try to recover my console, and
that was the latest change I tried that had no effect. My normal kernel
options are:
ro root=/dev/mapper/seeker-u2204 quiet splash
The text-mode console worked fine with Focal. I tried booting with the
Focal kernel (vmlinuz-5.4.0-104-generic) post-upgrade, but it crashed
with a kernel panic, complaining that it couldn't read the root
filesystem.
The kernel version that's currently installed is 5.15.0-22-generic.
