John, a couple things. I'm running 12.04 not 10.04 so maybe this is why things work for me and not you. However:
1. I believe you should be changing "/etc/default/grub", not "/boot/default/grub" 2. You should run "sudo update-grub" after the edits. My 1501 boots without "pyjama phase" doing this. -- Chris Hermansen · clherman...@gmail.com C'est ma façon de parler. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572521 Title: vertical coloured lines on bootup dell inspiron 1501 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/572521/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
