This is definitely not correct.
a) the problem is not that I can't login. The problem is, the the screen remains black and freezes after login when nomodeset is not given. b) I had the same problem with the same machine under 17.04 and 17.10, but giving nomodeset solved the problem, the x server then came up with high resolution. So it is wrong to claim that nomodeset causes the Xserver to remain in vesa mode. c) logging in via ssh will take some time because I don't have a second machine here on my desk, I have to get a second computer first. Although I'm more than willing to blame systemd for any sort of problem, I'm not sure whether systemd would explain resolution problems. d) Would be easier if the ubuntu team fixed the recovery mode that's not working under 18.04. e) Once upon a time (10-20 years ago) X servers used to have a -probeonly option to analyze and solve that sort of problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767993 Title: X11 freezing/low resolution on N3150 intel graphics To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1767993/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
