Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: usplash
When the decision was made a couple of days ago to use usplash on startup, it
broke virtual terminals (ctrl+alt+f*) on my computer. I know this has happened
before and it affected a lot of nVidia cards.
When I took "splash" out of the options in /etc/default/grub and ran
update-grub2, it fixed the problem. (Because there was no usplash.)
When usplash is enabled, and you try to go to a virtual terminal, the screen is
either black, or has random colored blocks all over the screen.
This may not be necessary for every user, but it is for a lot. If
something happens to X, you have no backup terminal to fall back to and
you have to manually power off the machine.
If you need more info, please ask. Apport should have attached everything. I'm
on default grub2 with the karmic beta install.
