Title:
Upgrade of libpciaccess0 to 0.17-3ubuntu0.25.04.1 causes black screen
on boot with AMD Radeon GPU
Status in libpciaccess package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using:
Kubuntu 25.04 "Plucky Puffin"
2) The version of the package you are using:
The issue is caused by upgrading libpciaccess0.
Working version: 0.17-3build1
Problematic version: 0.17-3ubuntu0.25.04.1
3) What you expected to happen:
After a standard system upgrade via sudo apt upgrade and a reboot, I expected the system to boot normally into the Kubuntu Plasma desktop environment, just as it did before the upgrade.
4. What happened instead:
After the upgrade, the system fails to boot into the graphical user interface. The boot process shows the Kubuntu logo, but immediately after, the screen turns black. My primary monitor shows a black screen, and my secondary monitor loses its signal entirely.
Troubleshooting and Workaround:
Booting into Recovery Mode works.
Restoring a system snapshot (via Timeshift) to the state before the apt upgrade resolves the issue, and the system boots normally again.
By isolating the packages, I have confirmed that the problem is specifically caused by the upgrade of the libpciaccess0 package.
The issue is consistently reproducible by upgrading only this package.
The current workaround is to prevent the package from being upgraded by using the command: sudo apt-mark hold libpciaccess0. With this package held back, all other system updates can be installed without causing the boot issue.
This issue seems to be related to how the new version of libpciaccess0
interacts with the AMD Radeon graphics driver during the system's
startup sequence. My hardware includes an AMD Radeon GPU. My GPU is an
AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT.
