[Bug 1675453] Re: During d-i install of ubuntu-server from mini.iso I get no login prompt

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 2.02-2ubuntu4

---------------
grub2 (2.02-2ubuntu4) bionic; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/vt_handoff.patch: modify the existing patch to set
    vt.handoff=1 instead of vt.handoff=7 as we now start display managers on
    vt1 anyway. This also fixes issues with netboot installed server systems
    not displaying the login prompt on boot. (LP: #1675453)
