Sorry for the spam, last post for now I promise! Reading this bug report more closely, it does appear different than the bug I am encountering. With *this* bug, one sees a black screen *with* a cursor, my symptoms are different, as the laptop panel is failing display link training, so nothing is displayed, it flickers a couple of times and nothing every appears. *This* bug appears to be Xorg related, but the bug I'm encountering (which is known on bugs.freedesktop.org) is a bug with the i915 kernel module.
For now I've removed the duplicate status of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1824216 and will add comments there moving forward. Again apologies for posting so many times, I honestly thought this was the same issue I'm encountering. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821820 Title: Cannot boot or install - have to use nomodeset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1821820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
