nickolai, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and- netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t520 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.45). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.45 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1454237 Title: Thinkpad T520 / i915 blank X display in 15.04 Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After upgrading my Thinkpad T520 laptop to Ubuntu 15.04, the X server gives a blank black screen (but backlight is still on). I can switch to other virtual consoles (ctrl-alt-F1, etc) and log in, so the rest of the system is running just fine. The blank screen shows up regardless of how X is started -- via lightdm, using startx, or even running X explicitly.
