Mainline Kernel 3.8.0 , black screen after boot with acer v3-771g

[yusuf75]

Hello,

the problem only occurs with kernel 3.8.0.
After installing mainline kernel 3.8.0, i get immediately after boot a black screen ( display turns off ).

The problem also occurs with the ubuntu- livecd 13.04 daily (with kernel 3.8.0).
Ubuntu 13.04 daily cd work with kernel 3.7 without problems.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have a Acer v3-571g, I have the kubuntu installed. Kernel 3.8 only works with an external display. The nomodeset trick doesn't work.

[Jordi Coma Garcia (jordi-coma)]

the nomodeset brings to command line only, not the X.
The X11 log shows it cannot find displays.

yusuf75, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Are you able to boot into a Quantal live CD via http://releases.ubuntu.com/quantal/ ?

If so, could you please execute the following via a terminal:
apport-collect 1099098

[Jordi Coma Garcia (jordi-coma)]

For me the problem is solved after install linux 3.8.0.0-r5 from the mainline repository.

Any idea when r5 will make it into the daily build? I can't boot the live USB due to this issue on a Dell XPS 12.

This affects my Sony VAIO Laptop (SVE1711C5E) Tested Kernels 3.8.0 - 3.8.2. The following workaround works perfect for me. Its kind of strange. Go into Recovery Mode. Do ANY of the following options, The easiest is Enable Networking, You can do ANY so far I have tested. Then just go to resume. It boots streight into the desktop.

I'm seeing the black screen and no x on my desktop with the Lubuntu 13.04 nightly build I downloaded on March 15. Seems to be a modesetting problem. Saw the same problems with Fedora's 3.8 kernels. The 3.9 kernels show garbled dots instead of text, but still can't get into X. This is all with the nouveau driver. X-vesa works, but is an unacceptable option; I've got a 1680x1050 monitor.
