Title:
9.10 grub.cfg bug blank screen
Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: grub-installer
Ubuntu 9.10
Build 2.6.31-14-generic
Video: ATI X800SE
Seriously:
Experienced a bug in the grub.cfg file. A call for splash in /etc/default/grub file is hanging/halting the system. This happened to me on install of new version 9.10 from LiveCD.
in grub.cfg:
"linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=44118bfa-d582-45e2-964f-66886a1d4d03 ro quiet splash"
I removed the call for splash at the end of this line and the machine
booted normally.
Searching ubuntu and this bug is quite common - however people tend to think its the video-card or something else.
Is this a bug or not ??
--------------------------------------------------------
HOW (in recovery mode and in root)
>nano /etc/default/grub
Edit the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
and save
>update-grub
(which will update the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file)
>shutdown -r now
