Title: Ubuntu 16.04 server PXE installs correctly but loads to a blank screen instead of login Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When trying to do a PXE install for Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.04.1 server version, after OS install is complete and the machine reboots the OS loads into a blank screen instead of a login prompt. The screen stays blank and does not respond to key or mouse input. If I try Alt + F1-F6, I am able to open a terminal and see a login prompt. We do have a workaround for this. I was looking up similar symptoms on the forums and found issues with NVIDIA drivers and found this fix:http://askubuntu.com/questions/383636/12-04-3-can-start-only- after-press-resume-in-rescue-mode-every-boot-proble/391608#391608 I edited the /etc/default/grub file and edited the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and added the "nomodeset" to the end at first and ran update-grub which did not work. I removed the "nomodeset" as well as the "quiet splash" and updated the grub. After disabling the boot splash screen and reboot, the OS boots up fine and is working as expected. We also found another workaround by adding lines to disable the boot splash screen in the preseed: # No boot splash screen. d-i debian-installer/quiet boolean false d-i debian-installer/splash boolean false To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1616258/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
