Bug Description
My Lenovo G585 computer won't boot correctly since the upgrade from 3.19.0-20 to 3.19.0-22.
In the boot there is a stage where it is supposed to show me my username and ask for a password.
The screen is totally blank. I hear the sound so I know I am supposed to enter my password, but I see a blank screen.
I enter my password and I will continue to see only a blank screen, but I can hear the skype sound as it continues the process of booting. I am convinced that all is working, just I see absolutely nothing.
I was convinced something on the motherboard went bad and I would need to buy a new computer.
Before that I tried to boot up in recovery mode. That worked fine and made me guess that perhaps the high resolution of the screen had died.
Finally I dropped down to 3.19.0-20 and everything worked like a charm, full resolution, no problems at all.
So, the next step was to boot via 3.19.0-22 and it was back to a blank screen.
I don't know if it is connected to my laptop or if it is more general, but 3.19.0-22 is dead in the water for me.
If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.
Thanks,
Ilan
There is something I remember which may influence the bug.
Usually when there is a new kernel I do an immediate restart.
Yesterday after I was done updating to the new kernel, I had nothing more to do on the computer.
Thus instead of a Restart I did a Shut down.
This morning when I turned on the computer I got the blank screen problem.
Could that have a connection to the problem?
