Public bug reported: When running install image of 17.04 or after upgrade to 17.04.
I experience 500seconds of black screen before the login screen or the "try ubuntu/install ubuntu" screen (in case of install image). I have a laptop (fujitsu t-900) that has a serial watcom penable touchscreen. after many searches I have found the problem. in xserver-xorg-core package. The timeout nolonger is in microseconds but in miliseconds. However in posix_tty.c. This has not been modified and the wacom driver is waiting 500 sedonds insead of 0.5 seconds for some discovery. Here is the patch that actually resolves the problem: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/158520/ ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698272 Title: Long black screen wait time on startup.
