I tried - Temporary: Press 'Escape' key at the 3 second pause by Grub bootloader - without sucess.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte MA74GMT-S2 with an AMD64 cpu, and onboard graphics from an AMD740G. During an attempt at a normal bootup, the system reaches the Ubuntu screen with the five dots. The dots change colour in sequence, and the mouse pointer appears. The the display shows /dev/sda1 ....etc... and then "flashes" showing what appears to be lines of white text with one "word" in red. The text appears for too short a time to be readable. The top line /dev/sda1 remains clearly visible and stable. The sytem runs normally after a bootup with Grub. Except for the Stop Job at shut down. ** Package changed: ubuntu => linux (Ubuntu) -- 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/1730480 Title: Problem after 17.04 to 17.10 upgrade Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Problem after 17.04 to 17.10 upgrade - seven days ago. I have to boot using Grub, in recovery mode. System works ok. During power down, I get - A Stop Job is Running for Session C3 of User GDM - which waits for 1 minute 30 - and then proceeds to finish. System is an AMD64, with graphics on the motherboard. I will search for more detail if necessary.
