I'm trying to install from the daily Artful desktop image (20170612).

After boot, the gnome session hangs at startup, while the "zoom" animation is being shown.

I have an intel card:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 29
        Memory at f7800000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
        Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
        I/O ports at f000 [size=64]
        [virtual] Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
        Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features
        Kernel driver in use: i915
        Kernel modules: i915

I'm not sure how to debug this further, but I had similar issues with the installer from Zesty as well (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1681846)
With Artful, at least it gets past the splash screen but then it hangs.

Note that the system is currently running Yakkety with no issue.
