I was finally able to workaround the problem here. The script /etc/grub.d/00_header does some font path detection stuff and if that fails it doesn't set any gfxmode (neither the default "auto" nor anything defined manually in /etc/default/grub).
The font path is /usr/share/grub, but I have a separate /boot partition and the script doesn't seem to know how to handle this situation correctly, leaving me without fonts and gfxmode. So, I just copied /usr/share/grub/*.pf2 to /boot/grub and ran update- grub again. Voila, I got my gfxmode and a working unicode font, too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/699802 Title: error:: no video mode activated -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
