When I do a regular boot up I get this half distorted screen but the other half is working fine.

I can access the whole screen only when I go to recovery mode and resume from there.

One post suggested to do sudo service lightdm restart, this didn't change anything.

I also cleaned and repaired any broken packages or whatnat.

Im on a samsung nc10 mini laptop



Pc specs:

Cpu: intel(r) atom(tm) cpu n270 1.60gh

Gpu?: 945gse express

          This is a common issue with netbook GPUs. To solve it, follow these steps:



          1. Edit /etc/default/grub

          2. Change #GRUB_TERMINAL=console to GRUB_TERMINAL=console (remove the #)

          3. Run sudo update-grub

          4. Reboot
