    Error: No Suitable Mode Found Error: Unknown Command:"Terminal".

    Just did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Dimension 2100 Xp.
    It worked great but I'm getting the following error messages at boot up:

    Error: No Suitable Mode Found
    Error: Unknown Command:"Terminal".

    It hangs there for about a minute then it continues booting OK.
    I have Intel 82810 (CGC) Graphic Controller.

    Please let me know what I shoul do to fix this.

    Thanks

    I have the same problem. It's just an annoyance because after the display of the messages, the system continues to boot and everything after is working fine for me. I have an old Compaq Deskpro EN with the Intel 82815 Graphics Controller and a Samsung Syncmaster 216BW with a native resolution of 1680x1050.
    I have done so many suggestions found on this forum (modify /etc/default/grub, Xorg -configure, etc) to get rid of these 2 messages but nothing seems to work.

    This is not related to X.org because it happens near the beginning of grub loading. This is far before X comes along. I have the same problem. It is new since we tried to put a splash screen on the grub menu. We have the infamous Intel 855 graphics card. Sounds like an adventure.

    The problem is that the Grub loader is trying to use a splash screen. For some reason your computer is not agreeing with using graphics this early. You should make sure it sticks to text.

    At least this was our problem. If you try this and it works, please mark this Thread as solved.

    Hey bro,

    It's open source. You can use it if you want. I am glad to help.
