Ubuntu 14.04.3 switching from desktop to tty (Ctrl-Alt-F1) the screen is black
Raw
Ubuntu_14.04_tty_is_black
Resolution:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/508635/how-can-i-get-ttys-to-work-with-nvidia-drivers?lq=1
fix grub resolution:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Now, locate the line
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
and change it to this changing 1280x800 to the desired resolution:
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
Next,
add framebuffer (no, that's not a typo; use echo twice):
echo "echo FRAMEBUFFER=y" | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
finally, update grub and initramfs:
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo update-grub
