Thanks for your response. I haven't tried every kernel, but it was definitely fine on Ubuntu-Gnome 13.04, and in the report linked above another user says this: "I booted with kernel 3.11.0 which is the earliest I found that exhibits this problem." A Fedora user - https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/29186/black-screen-after-upgrade- to-kernel-310/ - seems to suggest that it happened earlier, though, but obviously after the 3.8 kernel I was using with Raring.
I'm a n00b, relatively speaking, and I have neither time nor inclination to test all of them just to find out, but I'll test the newest one tomorrow per your instructions. I need access to an external monitor to be able to boot at all, and I don't have one at home. Also, strangely, the internal monitor started working again after disabling and re-enabling it in Gnome's system settings. It did not survive reboot or even suspend (which froze the session), however, so it's not the quick workaround I was hoping for. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1237843 Title: Black screen on primary display on linux 3.11.x Asus UX31a To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1237843/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
