[Bug 416772] Re: [karmic] please add config option for 'set gfxpayload' to /etc/default/grub
This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 1.98-1ubuntu1 --- grub2 (1.98-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low * Resynchronise with Debian (bug-fixes relative to previous snapshot release). Remaining changes: - Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options (quiet splash). - Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it. - Set a monochromatic theme for Ubuntu. - Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script: title, recovery mode, quiet option, tweak how memtest86+ is displayed, and use UUIDs where appropriate. - Conflict with grub ( 0.97-54) as well as grub-legacy. - Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf. - Remove GNU/Linux from default distributor string. - Add crashkernel= options if kdump and makedumpfile are available. - If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide the menu. Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus if available to check whether Shift is pressed. If it is, show the menu, otherwise boot immediately. If keystatus is not available, then fall back to a short delay interruptible with Escape. - Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'. - Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're actually offering a shell prompt. Don't clear the screen just before booting if we never drew the menu in the first place. - Remove some verbose messages printed before reading the configuration file. - Suppress progress messages as the kernel and initrd load for non-recovery kernel menu entries. - Keep the loopback file open so that subsequent changes to the root environment variable don't affect it. - Change prepare_grub_to_access_device to handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images. - Ignore devices loop-mounted from files in 10_linux. - Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed, that is if it failed to get to the end of one of the normal runlevels. - Handle RAID devices containing virtio components. - Improve DM-RAID probing support. - Don't generate /boot/grub/device.map during grub-install by default. - Store grub-pc/install_devices as persistent device names under /dev/disk/by-id/. - Change priority to optional to match the priority of grub. - Shave eight bytes off the pre-partition-table part of boot.img. - Don't display GRUB loading unless Shift is held down. - Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts to tolerate our backport of the grub-doc split. - Optimise hostdisk device handling, substantially speeding up grub-probe filesystem reads. grub2 (1.98-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release (closes: #572898). - Fix grub-script-check to handle empty lines (closes: #572302). - Fix offset computation when reading last sectors. Partition reads and writes within and outside a partition (closes: #567469, #567884). - Fix script execution error handling bug that meant that an error in a menuentry's last statement caused the whole menuentry to fail (closes: #566538, LP: #464743). - Support GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX (closes: #536453, LP: #416772). [ Samuel Thibault ] * Add GRUB_INIT_TUNE example to /etc/default/grub (closes: #570340). [ Colin Watson ] * Build-depend on libusb-dev so that grub-emu is reliably built with USB support (closes: #572854). * Update directions in debian/rules on exporting grub-extras to account for it being maintained in Bazaar nowadays. * Add myself to Uploaders. * Acknowledge NMUs, thanks to Torsten Landschoff and Julien Cristau. grub2 (1.98~20100128-1.2) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Stop setting gfxpayload=keep (closes: #567245). grub2 (1.98~20100128-1.1) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Apply trivial patch (already merged upstream) fixing the offset computation for non-cached reads (closes: #567637). -- Colin Watson cjwat...@ubuntu.com Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:18:14 + ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- [karmic] please add config option for 'set gfxpayload' to /etc/default/grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is something that is more relevant with legacy cards, but yes, I agree there needs to be a clear, defined way to adjust resolution in both the boot process and when the GUI (X) starts, before any drivers or video configuration settings are adjusted there, in the final Karmic release. -- [karmic] please add config option for 'set gfxpayload' to /etc/default/grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 416772] Re: [karmic] please add config option for 'set gfxpayload' to /etc/default/grub
I think that both gfxmode and gfxpayload should be tied up together. Its true that for some the gfxmode doesn't work. @mabawsa, some hints I know. grub can only set the video mode through bios. It often happens that bios doesn't expose the native resulution of the laptop, but only a list of well known resulutions. Usually this is 640x480, 800x600,1024x768, So, when you try 1280x800, your bios reject it. So I guess it would be safe to use 1024x768 (or 800x600 for small screens). Now you say a garbaged mess. I know why this happens. Grub puts console in graphical mode, kernel also knows it is in the graphical mode, but then something (usplash I am looking at you) tells the graphic card to go back to the text mode, but the kernel doesn't know anything about it. Try booting without 'splash' boot option What graphical card you have? -- [karmic] please add config option for 'set gfxpayload' to /etc/default/grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 416772] Re: [karmic] please add config option for 'set gfxpayload' to /etc/default/grub
The actual grub2 screen where you select OS, etc works well in 1280x800x24. Its only the terminals that get messed up. I tried what you suggested and I still get a garbled screen. Interestingly since the yesterdays updates it says it cant find terminal early in the boot process. My graphics card is a nvidia G8400 256 mbyte. I guess this issue is a completely different from the original post so I opened another bug.

[Bug 416772] Re: [karmic] please add config option for 'set gfxpayload' to /etc/default/grub
OK once I switch to set gfxpayload=1280x800 (removing the x24) or 1024x768 all my consoles become a garbled mess. The 1280x800x24 (correct for my DELL M1330 laptop) shows up with a 640x480 console post grub2 menu. Using x8 causes a more ordered grid like mess on the consoles. -- [karmic] please add config option for 'set gfxpayload' to /etc/default/grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 416772] Re: [karmic] please add config option for 'set gfxpayload' to /etc/default/grub
I did what Colin Watson suggested in post#2. Karmic worked ok, but jaunty did
not.
From grub.cfg:
menuentry jaunty (/dev/sda7) (on /dev/sda9) {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,9)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 5d67fd00-0856-4ce1-b278-9acf3e926a5c
gfxpayload=1024x768
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-14-generic
root=UUID=5d67fd00-0856-4ce1-b278-9acf3e926a5c ro splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-14-generic
}
I get no output until boot complete. If I remove splash, I still receive
no output. If I add vga=773 to end of kernel line I get the
depreciated message but I get a splash output as expected.
Grub2 is installed on karmic partition.

I tried to add the the set gfxpayload=1280x800x24 prior to the linux
command but the console and splash display in 640x480. Here is my
/etc/grub.d/10_linux, linux_entry function. I would like to get this
working as now the boot experience is just plain ugly:
linux_entry ()
{
cat EOF
menuentry $1 {
EOF
if [ x$3 = xquiet ]; then
cat EOF
set quiet=1
EOF
fi
save_default_entry | sed -e s/^/\t/
prepare_grub_to_access_device ${GRUB_DEVICE_BOOT} | sed -e s/^/\t/
cat EOF
set gfxpayload=1280x800x24
linux ${rel_dirname}/${basename}
root=${linux_root_device_thisversion} ro $2
EOF
if test -n ${initrd} ; then
cat EOF
initrd ${rel_dirname}/${initrd}
EOF
fi
cat EOF
}
EOF
}

We probably oughtn't to expose this to any significant number of users
until said kernel issue is resolved. For details, see:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2009-August/006773.html
Note that there are more configuration files available than just
/etc/default/grub, although they're harder work to edit (that's why
/etc/default/grub exists, with the easy options), so you do have a
workaround available: you can edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux, look for the
linux_entry function definition, and add whatever gfxpayload line you
like just before the linux ${rel_dirname}/... line.
