(Get the code!)
To further confirm that grub2 2.06-2ubuntu16 (Lunar) has introduced a regression on 2.06-2ubuntu12.1 (Kinetic), at least on the Dell Vostro 400.
A. dual-booting Lunar and Kinetic from Kinetic's boot-manager auto-detects the 1920x1080 display with no diagnostics.
B. single-booting Lunar with it's boot-manager (2.06-2ubuntu16) back-graded with the set from Kinetic (2.06-2ubuntu12.1) also works just fine.
C. single-booting Lunar with the current (alpha) grub fails to auto-detect and defaults to 640x480 resolution with above diagnostics. I think it also fails to pick up alternative (breeze) grub themes.
Hope this helps! For the time being, I'll persevere with testing my MPI cluster with option B and apt-mark hold the grub package :-).
Regards
David Coe
