Hi,
I have been trying to figure out what the problem is with my installations, but can't put a finger on it :(...I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu Natty Narwhal. I installed Ubuntu first, then went ahead to install Windows 7.
The problem now is I can't see any menu to select an OS from. After some troubleshooting, it seems that the menu is there, except that it does not show on my Viewsonic 24" (1920*1020) display. If I blindly press the down arrow key a number of times then press Enter, I can boot to Windows. The first choice seems to be Ubuntu in the menu. Sometimes I wind up in some memory test if I don't press the correct choice from this "invisible" menu.
After running bootinfo script, the RESULTS.txt file shows this:

I started to think that it could be that GRUB2 just cannot find an image to display, but the GRUB2 wiki pages indicate that there is default theme in case no images are found. So I ruled that out.
Any help is kindly appreciated.
I have been trying to figure out what the problem is with my installations, but can't put a finger on it :(...I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu Natty Narwhal. I installed Ubuntu first, then went ahead to install Windows 7.
The problem now is I can't see any menu to select an OS from. After some troubleshooting, it seems that the menu is there, except that it does not show on my Viewsonic 24" (1920*1020) display. If I blindly press the down arrow key a number of times then press Enter, I can boot to Windows. The first choice seems to be Ubuntu in the menu. Sometimes I wind up in some memory test if I don't press the correct choice from this "invisible" menu.
