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.
