[Bug 570892] Re: regression: black screen after boot, intel graphics

 

Olof Mogren, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Description changed:

  lsb_release -rd:
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:	10.04
  
  I have been using Lucid Lynx for some weeks now. After updating the
  kernel to 2.6.32-21, my IBM Thinkpad X40 became unusable. It shows the
  usual purple progress bar (albeit in 800x600 resolution, it is usually
  shown in 1024x768) when booting, and then goes all black. There is no
  hard drive activity either, and i cannot get to the console. When i from
  a live cd changed grub.cfg to show a menu, i managed to boot with the
  old 2.6.32-19, and everything is fine again. 2.6.32-21 works in recovery
  mode (with vesa driver).
  
  Xorg.0.log contains these warnings when on 2.6.32-21:
  
  (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused)
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: i915.modeset=1

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