[Bug 1450565] [NEW] Purple hanging screen on startup and black screen when awakening from suspend

 

Public bug reported:

I am finding that after upgrading from Ubuntu 14.10 to Ubuntu 15.04 that
when my machine starts up and I get to the login screen that the entire
screen just suddenly goes purple, although I can see and move the mouse.
And when awaking my machine from suspend that I get the same, except it
is a black screen, and unlike with the purple screen, does not flash the
login screen before becoming the solid colour. I first noticed the
purple screen today (and have had 15.04 for 4 days now), but since I
upgraded I have been having the black screen when awaking from suspend,
sometimes I worry that the black screen will just never go away, because
each time it stays there slightly longer, probably the first time was
about 5 seconds, now maybe 15, I dread to think what it will get to, and
I suspect that I will be seeing more of the purple screen too now that
it has showed its face.
