I just got a successful boot to a fresh Lubuntu by using vga=771 after waves of usb lubuntu installation errors. nomodeset is still there by default.



When vga=771 is presented i got a white screen with cursor. i am able to go into terminal (All text is distorted and background is white again).



Ubuntu is working fine with this machine so what do i need to install or setup to get rid of vga=771 boot option. Which what i got is a manual frame buffer size value.



I used software updater. Nothing noticeable happened.

  • vga=771 is deprecated. And it already was in 2010. You need to use set gfxpayload=800x600x8,800x600 and Ubuntu is likely to have that set as a fallback in the installer or option in /etc/default/grub.

  • Is this a driver issue or broken lightdm ? my attempts of reinstalling lightdm is inconclusive. i am sure if i did it properly i dont know how to debug it.
