2012-10-23 04:24:29 Matthew Eaton description Systems with Intel HD graphics are intermittently booting into low graphics mode. The only workaround is to log in via CTRL+ALT+F1 and reboot the system until the display loads properly. This may take several reboots. Note: I am uncertain if this is a kernel bug or a xorg bug but since this seems to only affect systems with Intel HD graphics I figured it was a kernel bug. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 uname -a Linux matt-pc 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:31:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic 3.5.0-17.28 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-17.28-generic 3.5.5 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: matt 2002 F.... pulseaudio Date: Mon Oct 22 20:55:29 2012 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=d9a43e39-0d27-4a5b-90ca-79dc0278afa2 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MachineType: System manufacturer System Product Name ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-17-generic root=UUID=85247ab4-6b7d-4d5a-a265-73b485861e24 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.5.0-17-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.5.0-17-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.95 RfKill: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 08/16/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 1606 dmi.board.asset.tag: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.board.name: P8Z77-V dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. dmi.board.version: Rev 1.xx dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset-1234567890 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacture dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr1606:bd08/16/2012:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnSystemProductName:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:rnP8Z77-V:rvrRev1.xx:cvnChassisManufacture:ct3:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: System Product Name dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer Systems with Intel HD graphics are intermittently booting to a message about low graphics mode but a graphical display never loads.
