Peter Collins, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for your BIOS (1.15). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.15 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- 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/1186583 Title: Plain Purple then blank screen when booting - Intel 945GM Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: With a fresh install of 13.04 on a Lenovo X60, the installation went fine, however when booting up I see a plain purple screen then nothing. If I close the lid and re-open it simulating a sleep and awake then the login screen appears. Update "linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic" to "linux- image-3.8.0-23-generic" but same problem. I have tried adding nomodeset to GRUB which solved this issue although the display was to slow to be usable. Downloaded and installed "linux-image-3.9.0-030900-generic" which seems to have solved the problem but would be nice if it could be resolved on the current kernel.
