Now this is interesting! As part Ubuntu updates the kernel was updated on 23rd April 2018 to 4.13.0-39-generic #44~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 5 16:43:10 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux On 3 consecutive occasions no the laptop has booted fine!
I decided to look around /ver/log and noticed this for the first time -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1929 Apr 24 09:04 gpu-manager.log and I now attach it for anyone to see. If you look at this log you will see that it provides many negative answers to questions regarding which graphics card is present. But this small extract here shows that it eventually found "/dev/dri/card0". Vendor/Device Id: 8086:46 BusID "PCI:0@0:2:0" Is boot vga? yes Skipping , driven by "i915" Skipping "/dev/dri/card0", driven by "i915" Skipping "/dev/dri/card0", driven by "i915" Found "/dev/dri/card0", driven by "i915" output 0: card0-LVDS-1 Number of connected outputs for /dev/dri/card0: 1 Does it require offloading? yes last cards number = 1 If you recall, this bug was reporting that card could not be found and was therefore booting into low graphics mode. So, is my system fixed? Has the new kernel fixed it? ** Attachment added: "gpu-manager.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1764087/+attachment/5126399/+files/gpu-manager.log -- 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/1764087 Title: Wrongly boots into low graphics mode Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS Release: 16.04 Lenovo T410 with VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02) Booting from latest kernel ThinkPad-T410 4.13.0-38-generic #43~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 14 17:48:43 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux goes into low graphics mode and also effects wi-fi connection insofar as it does not connect to my router.
