| Q-FUNK | howdy! is there an official ubuntu method for declaring gfxpayload in Oneric? | 07:50 |
| Q-FUNK | I still get the warning if I use vga=XXX in the boot options, but no instruction on where to declare the corresponding GFXPAYLOAD | 08:00 |

| BigWhale | Greetings... Are there any huge differences between 3.0.0-11 and 3.0.0.12 because the latter refuses to boot... It just hangs after it loads initrd ... | 17:30 |
| Q-FUNK | cjwatson: thanks for your precision about GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep, but it still doesn't explain how to transition from vga=mode to gfxpayload. | 21:51 |
| === RAOF_ is now known as RAOF | ||
| cjwatson | Q-FUNK: the manual should, providing you know what mode the vga= rune corresponds to | 23:12 |
| Q-FUNK | cjwatson: the point is, grub complains that vga=mode is obsolete and that "set gfxpayload=XXXxYYY" should be used instead. it doesn't say where or how. | 23:13 |
| cjwatson | read the manual | 23:13 |
| cjwatson | please? | 23:14 |
| Q-FUNK | cjwatson: it's also a lot more involved than adding GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep, as I found out. | 23:14 |
| Q-FUNK | the manual doesn't document /etc/default/grub afaik. | 23:15 |
| cjwatson | anyway, my goal was just to correct a misconception in a public bug report as these things have a way of being googleable and confusing others | 23:15 |
| cjwatson | sure does | 23:15 |
| cjwatson | http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Simple-configuration | 23:15 |
| Q-FUNK | cjwatson: ok. thanks for that pointer. however, noticed my last comment on that bug? | 23:19 |
| cjwatson | yes. we know. | 23:19 |
| Q-FUNK | ok. why hasn't framebuffer=y become standard, then? | 23:20 |
| cjwatson | because it slows down boot performance | 23:20 |
| cjwatson | rock, meet hard place | 23:20 |
| cjwatson | if you wish to edit things locally such that you still use vga= (the mechanism for doing so is discussed in the manual), feel free | 23:21 |
| cjwatson | well, not discussed in detail I suppose, it doesn't explain that you need to edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux to do that, which is unfortunate | 23:22 |
| cjwatson | I don't think most people are best off doing that | 23:22 |
| cjwatson | and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep is deliberately not retained in recovery mode; that's a recent change because it was causing practical problems | 23:23 |
| cjwatson | basically none of this is a kernel bug, anyway ... | 23:23 |
| Q-FUNK | well, it was difficult for me to know whether grub or the kernel was the culprit. as it now appears, those are all deliberate grub design choices. | 23:25 |
| cjwatson | sort of | 23:25 |
| cjwatson | using the 32-bit entry point is a deliberate design choice (better consistency across platforms), which implies vga= not working | 23:26 |
| Q-FUNK | that those new design ideas turn the process of setting the framebuffer into a much more complex gig and that it's not remotely as simple or accross the board as vga=mode apparently was dismissed. | 23:26 |
| cjwatson | I'm not going to engage in a debate that takes this tone though | 23:26 |
| Q-FUNK | using 32-bit is ok. no longer applying the previous accross the board solution is not. | 23:27 |
| cjwatson | I was going to explain in detail but not now. | 23:27 |
| cjwatson | bye. | 23:27 |
| Q-FUNK | *sigh* | 23:27 |
