You could try adding the kernel parameter

vt.global_cursor_default=0

to the GRUB parameter line (see, e.g. the Kernel Admin Guide or this article).

  • Ok, no important for now. Need to do make bug report to GRUB2? Commented Oct 23, 2019 at 14:06
  • I don't think this would be a case for a GRUB bug report because the parameters from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT are passed to the linux kernel. As long as we have no reason to suspect that the parameter is "lost" before being passed to the linux kernel (try looking in journalctl -b for hints that the parameter is set correctly), that would rather be a case for a bug report to the Linux kernel developers (but that should be done with caution and after extensive checking that the problem is not on the user side ...).

    Just an FYI, but this also works for Raspberry Pi if you append this to the /boot/cmdline.txt Commented Dec 18, 2020 at 19:06

  1. Add to grub config /etc/default/grub kernel parameter

A) Use in real hardware

vt.cur_default=1

B) Use in VirtualBox

vt.cur_default=50
  1. Uncomment

    GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

  2. Add the line

    GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

  3. Update changes

    update-grub

I found it when investigate parameter vga=current on Silent boot parameter which deprecated

  • P.S. black background in corner still exist. Welcome new solution to fix it Commented Oct 24, 2019 at 9:45
  • Usage vt.cur_default=50 fix for me black background. See manual for this parameter to undertake why Commented Oct 26, 2019 at 14:46
