Attempted with mainline generic kernel at http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15-rc3
The issue persists. I can boot into the 4.15-rc3 kernel in recovery mode fine. In that case it comes up with the built in intel 800x640 resolution, not the nvidia graphics. I've attached a zip folder of screenshots i took with my phone showing the boot log errors in non-recovery mode. graphics.txt is the output from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicsTroubleshootingProcedure using the 17.10 stable image. A few other notes: When I first installed I chose "other configuration" and created a partition for ubuntu (140 Gb) and a 32Gb swap partition. Early on in troubleshooting I saw it hanging on mounting the swap so I used grub 2 superdisk live usb to delete the swap partition and in recovery mode removed the swap line from /etc/fstab cat (hd0,gpt5)/etc/fstab UUID=1b38 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 was on /dev/nvme0n1p5 during installation UUID=a22E /boot/efi. vfat umask=0077 0 1 # swap was on /dev/nvme0n1p6 during install #UUID=ed1d219b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0 I commented out the /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 line ** Attachment added: "asus screenshots of boot hang" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1738105/+attachment/5022680/+files/asus-20171214T160829Z-001.zip -- 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/1738105 Title: asus zen ultrabook UX550VE-DB71T with 1050Ti graphics card will not boot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Getting A start job is running for detect the available GPUs and deal with any system changes This looks like a reprise of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1692305?comments=all 'I disabled the splashscreen and I could see that the system hangs when trying to detect the GPU(s) showing the message: "A start job is running for detect the available GPUs and deal with any system changes "' I am so far unable to get a command prompt.
