Also just tried with the .deb from http://koti.kapsi.fi/~tjaalton/skl/build2 worked perfectly.
To future users: add nomodeset and then use wget to get it and install it that way. Look me a while to figure out why tty1-6 was not working ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1564156 Title: xenial: invalid opcode when using llvmpipe Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Committed Status in System76: Fix Committed Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in llvm-toolchain-3.8 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: New Status in llvm-toolchain-3.8 source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in mesa source package in Xenial: New Bug description: [Description updated to reflect state of 16.04 release ISO] == In summary == If you have an Intel Skylake (6th gen) CPU and an NVIDIA GPU (or possibly other GPUs that likewise require use of the llvmpipe opengl software fallback), a work-around is needed to install Ubuntu 16.04 desktop. To work-around this, you'll need to: 1) Choose "Install Ubuntu" in the pre-boot menu (rather than "Try Ubuntu without installing") 2) Check "Download updates while installing Ubuntu" ** Note the above work-around wont work till llvm-toolchain-3.8 1:3.8-2ubuntu3 lands in xenial-updates (it's currently only in xenial-proposed). FIXME: update description once this happens. == In detail == The Ubuntu 16.04 desktop ISOs includes libllvm3.8 1:3.8-2ubuntu1, which has a bug that results in invalid JIT code generation when using the mesa llvmpipe opengl software fallback on Skylake CPUs. When you encounter this bug, Unity/Compiz will fail to start, and you'll see something like this in dmesg: [ 2092.557913] traps: compiz[10155] trap invalid opcode ip:7efc940030d4 sp:7ffccd914ea0 error:0 libllvm3.8 1:3.8-2ubuntu3 fixes this issue, but the fix did not make it onto the 16.04 release ISO. It will be included on the 16.04.1 ISO.
