I’ve installed AlmaLinux 8.6 on a Dell XPS 15 7590.
The GRUB menu text and the text that appears when shutting down is very small I can barely read it. How can I fix this issue with the small text?
hwinfo --framebuffer
displays nothing. Both vbeinfo
and videoinfo
in grub does not work and I get the error message 'can't find commmand'. I have tried installing 915resolution
but when I run the command find / -name 915*
, nothing is found except for the tarball itself and the extracted file/folder. Running 915resolution
in the grub menu also results in the error 'can't find command'.
I have tried all sorts of resolution instead but nothing changes. This is the /etc/default/grub file:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT="console"
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm"
GRUB_GFXMODE="1920x1080x32"
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD="keep"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/almalinux-swap rd.lvm.lv=almalinux/root rd.lvm.lv=almalinux/swap rhgb quiet"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true
I run the grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/almalinux/grub.cfg
after and reboot but nothing changes.
I have tried changing fonts also as suggested in this article: Can GRUB font size be customised?. Nothing changes when I do the exact same thing in the article.
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm"
andGRUB_FONT=/boot/grub2/DejaVuSansMono.pf2
to get it to work. Now I need to fix the text that appears when shutting down.
