Toshiba Portege R500 (Graphics Processor Intel GMA 950, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU U7700 @ 1.33 GHz)
Downloaded the official lubuntu-17.10-desktop-amd64.iso on January 4th 2018, installed it from USB flashdrive without issues. Reboot => strange flash of screen during boot, X not showing up properly: black screen, graphical mouse cursor visible and moving, but no action possible. Possible to switch to text console with CTRL-ALT-F1 normally. Updating the system did not help (having kernel 4.13.0-21). /var/log/syslog contained the errors shown in the included files. In the file /etc/default/grub I've commented out the line #GRUB_TERMINAL=console changing it to: GRUB_TERMINAL=console then issued: sudo update-grub then reboot, and things are nice, X comes as expected, I can login to graphical screen and everything works, and those errors in the included files are not present anymore. Thank you for the hints! Good luck fixing the bug. ** Attachment added: "errors_appearing_in_syslog.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1724639/+attachment/5032072/+files/errors_appearing_in_syslog.txt -- 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/1724639 Title: Bug in Kernel 4.13 : Intel Mobile Graphics 945 shows 80 % black screen Status in Linux: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in openSUSE: Confirmed Bug description: Installed O.S. on Samsung NC10.
