Public bug reported: Ubuntu 12.04.5, ASUS model 1015E, x86_64
When I boot the 3.2.0-99 kernel on my ASUS netbook, I pretty much never get a working display manager. (I think it booted okay the first time after installing the kernel, but that's it.) Usually I just get a black display. I have also gotten - an almost complete login screen, except the background is wrong (uniform purple instead of my wallpaper), and trackpad clicks are ignored (but trackpad motion works) - stuck at the Ubuntu splash screen I once tried booting in recovery mode. I noticed a message about modprobe being terminated by signal 9, and I noticed several messages about modprobe timeouts. But other than that the messages didn't tell me anything that I could make sense of. I can ssh into the system. Unfortunately, "apport-bug linux" gets stuck (it still says "collecting problem information" after 30 minutes), so I'm filing this directly on Launchpad. I can get the apport configuration information from the 3.2.0-98 kernel (that kernel works just fine). I can also collect any log files, ps output, etc. that you'd like. lightdm does seem to be running. The only suspicious thing I see in the log files is that Xorg.0.log is missing a bunch of text that it contains when using the -98 kernel. I noticed that I had an out-of-date BIOS, but upgrading the BIOS did not fix anything. Reinstalling the -99 kernel did not help. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553626 Title: blank console after upgrading to 3.2.0-99 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04.5, ASUS model 1015E, x86_64 When I boot the 3.2.0-99 kernel on my ASUS netbook, I pretty much never get a working display manager.
