[Bug 1555434] Re: Black screen/system lockup on 4.4.0-11

 

I see a black screen after an upgrade to Ubuntu 16. If, however, I boot
using the older 4.2 kernel through the advenced options in grub, I don't
see any issues.

I have an Nvidia GeForce 525M GPU. My laptop is a dell inspiron N5110.

Bug description:
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-
  discuss/2016-March/016281.html references xenial freezing when
  plugging in a 2nd monitor on a 2015 macbook pro.  I'm seeing similar
  freezes when _unplugging_ the 2nd monitor -- the screen turns black
  and everything is unresponsive.  Not sure that it happens every time,
  but have noticed it multiple times today (first time booting with
  4.4.0-11), and have not seen it before today (yesterday was booting
  4.4.0-10 and the freeze did not occur).
