For anyone affected there are a bunch of workarounds available now that we cornered the issue a bit.
a) do use a more modern default than cirrus (recommended anyway), QXL being the most common one b) use the seabios package from https://launchpad.net/~canonical-server/+archive/ubuntu/server-backports c) upgrade to Ubuntu 20.10 or later ** Changed in: seabios (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1908512 Title: VNC unusable when booting ubuntu-20.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seabios/+bug/1908512/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
