In pursuit of a solution to this problem, I updated the video driver am now running the following:
xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.7.1-0ubuntu1~xup~1) This does not appear to have solved the problem. I have noticed, however, that it may NOT be the "nopat" option that is actually resolving the issue--strangely, pressing ESC and simply entering the GRUB boot menu, without actually editing any of the commands, appears to also sometimes resolve the problem. I thought it was the "nopat" option because, in order to enter the "nopat" option, I needed to first enter the GRUB boot menu at startup. I can't imagine what might be causing this, or how these two things might be related; but my best guess is that maybe it has something to do with the newer kernel modesetting feature in the driver. -- broken PAT code in kernel causes consistent xorg freeze at startup for some users of intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372028 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
