After reading all of this, maybe this summary might help: 1) the boot process is trying to do an file system check 2) because of an issue with the start process you can't see the prompt
As a work around for those wanting to use their system 1) when the screen goes blank and hard drive light stops - type your password eg: password123 [Enter] 2) run a file system check, eg: fsck -y /dev/sda [enter] 3) reboot your system, eg: reboot [enter] NOTE: * This does not solve the underlying issue * but it does allow the system to continue to boot. My hardware is an ASUS EeePC 4G, which uses the Intel Driver mentioned above. -- fbcon loading a mystery (screen powers off) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
