[Solved] GRUB resolution problem

Alopex · 2023-05-05 10:55:16

After installing arch and selecting 'Arch Linux' on the Grub boot menu. The post messages were unreadable due to the resolution of grub not being right for my screen.

After searching for a solution in multiple websites, forums and even the arch wiki the solution was nowhere to be seen.

I tried those parameters in my grub config

GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32 (My screen resolution is 1366x768)
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

and later grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg and reboot.
Nothing Changed

Sources I looked for an answer to my problem:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1119947 … untu-18-04
https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comme … n_of_grub/
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … b-terminal
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB/T … figuration
--And more but they all said the same thing and nothing seemed to work--

Thanks!

You could try using GRUB's non-graphical mode, see GRUB/Tips and tricks#Disable framebuffer.

If this is an UEFI install make sure that CSM emulation is disabled in your EFI would be my first suggestion..

It's not a UEFI system. My mistake for not mentioning that.
