Comment 32 for bug 1813745

4.15.0-45 does not fix my problem. The boot continues to hang when gnome tries to start. I cannot "Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or any F?)", but I can ssh from another computer to this affected computer. Log files don't show anything remarkable to me, but I wouldn't know what was remarkable in all of the verbiage. The boot process was working fine in the week of Jan 28 2019 through, oh say Jan 31.

The only way I can boot is tell grub to boot to 4.15.0-45-generic (recovery mode). The system comes up, but my display is affected. I have:

Acer Aspire R15
Processor: Intel Core I5-7200 CPU @ 2.50Gz x 4
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics (620 (KabyLake GT2) x86/MMX/SSE2
OS type: 32-bit

but when booted in recovery mode, it shows:
Graphics: llvmpipe (llvm 6.0, 256 bits)

uname -a shows:

Linux AcerAspireR15 4.15.0-45-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 29 16:27:25 UTC 2019 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

This is a newly installed system so I cannot revert back to a 4.15.0-43 monitor (I reinstalled when I encountered this problem).

Wanted to let yall know that the 4.15.0-45 update did not fix the problem for every computer. And, I don't know how to install one of the kernels at "https://people.canonical.com/~khfeng/lp1813663/", and wouldn't know which one to install anyway.
