How can I avoid the black screen on boot with GMA500 graphics?

Yes, you should add 'console=tty1' to grub options.
To do that, run gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
find the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
, and change it to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty1"
Lastly, update grub with sudo update-grub
.

Ubuntu 12.04 was released today, but it still can't boot normally with GMA500 graphics :(. It's a black screen and i need to go into text mode via Ctrl-Alt-F1 and restart desktop manager via "sudo service lightdm restart".
Is it any way to avoid this restarts every time OS boots?

Admin about 12 yearsI think the OP's question was how to boot a GMA500 system into a graphical environment without console juggling on boot, not how to arrive at the admin console without pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1.

MagicFab about 12 yearsThat's funny considering the 915resolution is not in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The above don't change anything. Also keep in mind not all Poulsbo systems have 1366x768 resolution when changing things in /etc/default/grub.
