How do I fix ugly boot screen when using Nvidia drivers Ubuntu 13.10?

  • 772

I have recently installed Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit.

It was, by default, using the Nouveau display driver, however, this caused suspend to fail. I installed a proprietary driver which resolved that issue but created an ugly low res boot screen.

How can I fix it?

    This is the solution that worked for me. (for those who have this common issue)

    Run in Terminal

    1. sudo apt-get install v86d

    2. gksu gedit /etc/default/grub

    3. Replace Line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

      New Line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1920x1080-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"

    4. Replace Line: #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

      New Line: #GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080

    5. Save & Close

    6. gksu gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

    7. Add Line: uvesafb mode_option=1920x1080-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap

    8. Save & Close

    9. sudo update-grub2

    10. sudo update-initramfs -u
