14 Look in /etc/default/grub, there is one setting to switch to text mode.
15 GRUB_TERMINAL=console I think. Run update-grub to regenerate the grub.cfg
16 applying these settings.

18 BTW, this took me quite some time to find out. I had to find out about
19 the /etc/default/ directory first, and then I didn't use update-grub, but
20 grub-setup or something like that. So I like the old grub, where I simply
21 edit its config file, instead of having to find out which of the config
22 files I have to edit where and how to apply the changes.
