vm grub recovery boots garbled display
-
im needing to change a password for a customer who forgot their password, and much to my dismay booting from grub into ubuntu recovery mode results in garbled display.

check the amount of video memory available in the VM

vga is enabled and video ram is 16mb -
I just had this problem with a ubuntu VM. With recovery mode selected press e to edit. Remove nomodeset.
Here is an example.
From:
linux /vmlinuz-5.4.0-65-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv ro recovery nomodeset dis_ucode_ldr
To:
linux /vmlinuz-5.4.0-65-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv ro recovery dis_ucode_ldr
The link below helped me solve this issue.
