Public bug reported: When booting 18.04 on my Dell 5737 I am greeted with an image like the attached. The colours are clearly incorrect and the display looks to be of low resolution. This is true whether booting from a fresh distribution copy on a memory stick or the subsequent patched install. The image on an external monitor appears unaffected.
This looks like a reappearance of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1300349 and https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2204287 Someone else appears to have the same issue on a similar machine: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1036968/no-red-color-on-screen-after- installing-18-04-on-dell-inspiron-3737/1047143#1047143 Adding "nomodeset" does make the machine usable but obviously isn't ideal. "lsb_release -rd" gives Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release 18.04. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Result of booking from 18.04 distribution "try without installing"." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1777257/+attachment/5153365/+files/2018-06-16%2016.46.54.jpg ** Package changed: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) => ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1777257 Title: Dell Inspiron 17r 5737 Ubuntu 18.04 Video Looks Very Strange To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1777257/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
