@Timo: I strongly disagree. This bug does not affect "an application" or "non-essential hardware component", as medium bugs do. It "has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu", those who want to use terminal can't. Moreover, you can't use the tty to solve X server problems. It is also "a problem with an essential hardware component" - video, since framebuffer is video card depended. So, the importance of this bug is *high*.
@Paul: Please, after reading all these comments here you should be aware that, first, there is no single workaround for all cards, second, it is not so hard for unexperienced user to miss a step and turn the whole system unusable. I wouldn't say then that the workaround is easy. -- Blank ttys when using vesafb (vga=xxx) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
