Bug Description
This issue started recently (I think it could be related to some package update.
Steps to reproduce:
- Power the PC on;
- BIOS Boot screen (not visible, the display is off);
- GRUB screen (not visible, the display is off);
- Gnome Login screen (not visible, the display is off).
Workaround:
- after a reasonable time for the Gnome Login Screen to be reached, inserting my user password starts the desktop session. Screen is never shown on first try (the best I can get are short flashes of the desktop in the screen). The display keeps on trying to start.
- long press the power button to force power down and immediately switch the PC back on --> after 1 or more workaround cycles the screen is shown (sometimes with wrong horizontal placement).
After the display is working, it works smoothly until the next power down (i.e. if I reboot the PC everything is visible from the BIOS Boot screen onward.
