Bug Description
Since using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on boot at the login screen the screen is frozen. I tried both gdm3 and lightdm login managers, with either I don't get into the system.
I am using Intel 2nd generation (Sandy bridge) CPU with on-board GPU: HD Graphics 2000. I have an external 24" ASUS display connected with VGA (tried HDMI as well but same problem).
UPDATE: I now use "nomodeset" since that is the only way to get into the system. However, graphics are low and there's only 1 screen resolution available (1280x1024) which does not suit my screen at all.
