[Bug 699802] Re: error:: no video mode activated

[J. Bergin]

Just wanted to confirm that the method for number 24 works well for
people with the encrypted partition (don't bother with the uncommenting
stuff).

Just so anyone like myself out there doesn't have to look all over to
figure out how to do simple commands (my first time ever using linux).

launch the terminal and go to the directory (cd)

    cd /usr/share/grub/

copy the font files to another directory (cp, needs sudo, and *.pft
copies the three font files at once)

    sudo cp *.pf2 /boot/grub

then update grub

    sudo update-grub

  On my laptop I am getting "error: no video mode activated." message from grub on system boot (in standard VGA mode). After that kernel loads and sets proper resolution (1366x768).
