Bug Description
Dell Vostro 5560 (CID 201303-13111) with GPU Intel - 8086:0166, nVidia - 10de:1140
Ubuntu 14.04.5
[Steps To Reproduce]
1. Install Ubuntu 14.04.5 over live USB. Do not update the system during the installation (Don't click "Downloading updates" in Ubiquity prompt.)
2. When the desktop is ready, issue "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-375" to install the nvidia 375 driver in the ubuntu archive.
3. Reboot after the installation.
[Expected Result]
Get into X session of the system desktop.
[Actual Result]
Black screen. However, some of the other tty (tty1~tty6) are available.
[More Information]
1. The black screen tty7 could be available again by updating the system again ("sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y")
2. If updating the system during the system installation, this issue is still reproducible. And tty7 could be back by the above bullet 1 method.
3. This issue could be reproduced on another laptop Dell Vostro 5468 (CID 201606-22342, GPU Intel - 8086:5916, nVidia - 10de:134d), and get back tty7 by the same way.
Log collected right after the system was installed.
