2015-04-12 18:11:51 g.ptic description Recently, the following behaviour appeared suddenly: 1) Switch on computer 2) Ubuntu splash screen appears with dots 3) Screen turns black and switches off (no signal) 4) Nothing happens 5) Forcibly restart computer 6) Everything works fine This happens exactly like this every time I switch on the computer. Previously I had removed all but the latest kernel [linux-lts-trusty (3.13.0-48.80~precise1]), but this may be a coincidence because that kernel started without problems before. Note 1: My OS starts from an SSD. Note 2: My graphics card is recognised as Mobility Radeon HD 5430 Note 2: A similar problem also appeared at the same time on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit installed on a different SSD on the same computer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1441305 However, there I got stuck with a black screen on *every* boot. In the end, changing the display manager to "gdm" fixed the problem.

Previously I had removed all but the latest 3.16/3.13 kernels, but this may be a coincidence because the latest kernels started without problems before. UPDATE: - Recently, the black screen always shows when booting the 3.6 kernel - When booting from kernel 3.13, this problem does not appear anymore (Set default kernel to 3.13 as a workaround) Note 1: My OS starts from an SSD, encrypted via LUKS Note 2: My graphics card is recognised as Mobility Radeon HD 5430 Note 3: Ubuntu HWE is enabled (Kernel 3.16) Note 4: A similar problem also appeared at the same time on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit installed on a different SSD on the same computer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1441305 However, there I got stuck with a black screen on *every* boot.
