Lasse Ebdrup Pedersen, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/optiplex-9010
an update is available for your BIOS (A16). If you update to this
following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change
anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Black screen with blinking cursor and moveable mouse cursor after
  latest kernel upgrade

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I updated ubuntu sep 30.
  Among other updates was kernel 3.8.0-31.46
  After updating and rebooting I get grub, select ubuntu as always, then instead of going to the unity-greeter login screen I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left and a mouse cursor i can move around.
  If I press CTRL-ALT-F1 and login i can write “sudo service lightdm --full-restart" and then I get login screen and everything is normal.
  If I use the previous kernel 3.8.0-30 everything works like normal.
