[Bug 898480] [NEW] funny thing happens with monitor during grub screen

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I've installed the latest ubuntu from your website
(ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso, 695MB), installed everything without any
problems (congratulations for making ubuntu recognize empty partitions
and doing everything on its own during install process), but when I
rebooted and when the grub boot screen should appear, it doesn't (or it
does by I don't see it) because the monitor shows me some fancy colors,
just like a TV test signal, when there is no program on that channel :)

Something is happening in the background, I can hear hard disk working,
but the screen just shows some sprites/fractals/something I can't even
describe, but I think it went out of sync or something, not sure.
However, after a while, ubuntu continues to load normally, but I wasn't
able to log back into Windows again, because I couldn't see grub screen.

I've manually moved /etc/grub.d/30_os_detect to /etc/grub.d/05_os_detect
(im not sure if i nailed file names correctly, but i hope you know what
i mean) and ran update-grub2 to make windows become a first choice and
rebooted, so now I'm back in Windows and writting this bug report :)
