console colors wrong
I was installing some packages yesterday, I think one of them was an update for grub. (I'm using grub 2). When I rebooted, the console text was in green, not the usual white. (using gfxpayload=800x600 i.e. console is in graphics mode). I first thought maybe it was some kind of St. Patrick's day joke, but now I am getting tired of it. How do I set the color scheme back to normal? :cry:

It wasn't much help. I think the colors are somehow miss-mapped. When I run a program that uses ncurses (i.e. aptitude) all the colors are different from what they should be. I ran "vbetool vbemode get" and it says it is running in mode 279

OK.
What is on / appended to your kernel's boot line? You can read it from /boot/grub/grub.cfg on the line that starts with linux |
I set the command option in /etc/default/grub to gfxpayload=1024x768x16, then I added the line "set gfxpayload=keep" to the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file
