Weird looking screen after Ubuntu Server 11.04 boot

  • 772

weird screen

I got this after upgrading to 11.04 with some issues. It must be tty7, since Ctrl+Alt+7 does nothing. I can change to tty[0-6] to make the screen look normal, and changing back makes the screen black.

What is happening here? It's like it thinks I have X installed.

Thanks.

    Temporarily edit your grub boot settting: remove vga=something and replace it with nomodeset. If you can boot normally to the desktop, do your troubleshooting and perhaps install/uninstall proprietary graphics driver or maybe remove any unsuitable graphics option.
