Ian Booth, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

Given attempting to deal with more than one issue in one report is unwieldy, let this report focus on only the first issue mentioned:
"1. Intel HD graphics Booting with intel graphics enabled results in a lockup loading lightdm or logging in results in the greeter screen appearing again."

Regarding the other issues mentioned, it will be most helpful to file a
new report, one report per issue. Please feel free to subscribe me to
them.

Focusing on the scope of this report, could you please both boot into a
Ubuntu kernel (not mainline/upstream), and configuration allowing you to
run apport-collect again?

Unfortunately, apport-collect'ing while booted into a mainline kernel
doesn't provide helpful information.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Summary changed:

- Issues with new Skylake hardware
+ Booting with intel graphics enabled results in a lockup

** Description changed:

- I have various hardware issues on a new Skylake laptop. The laptop has a
- Nvidia GTX730 graphics card which can be switched off via bumblebee or
- prime
- 
- 1. Intel HD graphics 
- Booting with intel graphics enabled results in a lockup loading lightdm or logging in results in the greeter screen appearing again.
- 
- 2. Intel 8260 wireless
- I have to run a recent mainline kernel (4.4 or similar) to get wireless.
- 
- 3. nvidia card
- Trying to install wily from a USB stick results in a splash screen lock up before it gets to the install screen. This appears related to the noveau drivers. I have to use the graphics ppa to install the nvidia drivers. But it is not an issue in the 3.9 kernel because to install what I have to do is:
- i. install vivid (everything works except wireless)
- ii. use wired network to install nvidia drivers
- iii. use wired network to upgrade to wily
- iv. use wired network to install mainline 4.4 kernel
- 
- 4. Display brightness function keys
- These don't work. Other function keys do. The other keys show output in acpi_listen but the brightness keys don't The settings applet can be used to adjust brightness, as can writing a value to /proc/blah
- 
- 5. lshw shows other unclaimed hardware eg I think fingerprint scanner?
- output attached.
