Another attempt: $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_i2c-nvidia-gpu.conf # https://askubuntu.com/a/1289997 blacklist i2c_nvidia_gpu
Didn't make any difference. My judgment is that this is NOT a hardware issue, a plain software one indicated by: As the flow of dmesg items ends; if I start tapping ESC ant Enter keys repeatedly I will see the X / Wayland GUI Login screen within 10 seconds. If i do NOT do that key-tapping, then the boot stop just prior to the login screen; screen is black, cursor flashing in upper left corner (at least to begin with), it stays like that indefinitely, after some time cooling fans start blowing - so there appears to be some CPU-intensive thing going on. The only way out of this is holding the power button until power drops off. Looking into the dmesg log, there is nothing after the 10 second mark. What appears after 10 seconds on a tap-a-long-boot doesn't seem to be related, the list isn't long and does not seem to contain any leads into the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988658 Title: boot stops at black screen (blinking cursor in top left corner); pulseaudio fails to intialize?
