Public bug reported:
When I ran "sudo update-grub" after changing the line in grub.conf to be
"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset", the screen turned to black and the
windows would not appear. I was forced to open a tty session and reboot.
Expected Results:
The command runs but the screen does not turn black until I initiate a
shutdown/reboot
Actual Results:
The screen turns black and the startup tasks and status appear over a black
background, as it would when I push the up key when ubuntu starts up.
This issue occurred at around 3:47 PM, EDT, on November 29, 2019.
