Hi,
I have transferred my Ubuntu partition (along with Windows XP and Linux swap partitions) to a new HDD using TrueImage's sector-by-sector method. Ubuntu runs quite well after I've made the suggested updates/upgrades. System version now is 10:04 Lucid Lynx. However, I'm missing the ALT-CTRL-F1 .. F6 terminals. All I see is a pattern of vertical stripes in the colors of my gnome desktop. Each time I switch from graphic mode to textmode the pattern shows a different variation of these colors.
Also the boot splash screen does not appear but I don't really miss it.
What I've tried so far:
re-installed my backup image
re-installed packages and updates
started kernel with vga=792, vga=791 and vga=773 (I've got a 1024x768 LCD)
changed shared memory size and APG aperture in the BIOS settings (I'm using a laptop with no video RAM), currently I have 16MB shared and 64MB aperture. I forgot what settings I had before the backup,
How do I get the text mode terminals back?
Best regards,
oboonto
