Bug Description
Hi,
I'm using Gutsy Beta with all updates/upgrades till now and I still can't switch to console with CRTL+ALT+F1.
I mean, it switches, but I am getting a black screen with a blinking cursor on the top-left of the screen and nothing further happenes.
In the most cases I can switch back to X with ALT+F7, but not always and I have to reboot with CRTL+ALT+DELETE, so that I can work again, it is really annoying.
And yes, I do have getty processes on the tty1-3, I have disabled the rest three, back under Feisty, because I don't need them.
I habe tried reinstalling the "console-setup", "console-tools" packages, as someone in ubuntuforums.org had suggested, but it didn't help too.
I really don't know, what to do or how can I help you, because I don't know what information to provide.
Hi,
I just want to say, that after following these instructions from the ubuntuforums.org, I have my console again. :)
on my virtual pc installation i fixed the problem with the following
steps:
1. sudo vi /etc/initramfs- tools/modules and add fbcon and vesafb
so my /etc/initramfs- tools/modules looks like:
fbcon
vesafb
2. sudo update-initramfs -u
3. sudo vi /etc/modprobe. d/blacklist- framebuffer
change the line "blacklist vesafb" to "# blacklist vesafb"
4. reboot and everything is fine
And indeed, everything is working now as before my upgrade to gutsy, except my micro (sound capture, gconf pipeline problem), but that is another issue and is already been reported.
