ctrl alt F1 shows only a blank screen and no tty login
Asked by
u4ear
14.04.02 running ATI graphics card HD7990 with drivers from ATI.
lightdm login works normally but CtrlAltF1-6 shows only a blank screen
it should show the tty login prompt.
If i uncomment the #GRUB_TERMINAL entry in the grub startup script and sudo update-grub
The screen remain blank.
CtrlAltF7 returns to lightdm - as normal.
If i leave the #GRUB_TERMINAL entry as default - then CtrlAltF7 fails to return, the keyboard does not work (even caps lock) and a power cycle is needed to recover.
Hope this finds a solution.
