** Description changed: With the ubuntu grub2 default config, this message is logged into journalctl: kernel: NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console kernel: NVRM: on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver kernel: NVRM: requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console kernel: NVRM: drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in kernel: NVRM: corruption and stability problems, and is not supported. It is uselessly scarying users; and a /etc/default/grub tweak can remove them: change the default #GRUB_TERMINAL=console to GRUB_TERMINAL=console This happen with a nvidia driver on a non uefi old mobo. Nvidia should have solved this issue, but still exist, as explained with that uefi example: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/827139/linux/uefi-nvidia-vga-console-complaints-/1 Awaiting a nvidia fix that never comes, the best solution for now is to silence this message. + + If that message is not being silenced, maybe it should be such "feature + not supported by nvidia; you can set "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" to get a + VGA console.
