First, on Grub menu I selected Ubuntu editing the command line for to ensure
the nomodeset was not added:
linux /vmlinuz-3.8.0-16-generic root= ..... ro quiet splash -- vga=792
$vt_handoff
But, I got the blank screen again. No terminals. No cursor blink.
So, I tried a root shell prompt this way:
Grun Menu → Advanced Options for Ubuntu → Ubuntu, with linux
3.8.0-generic (recovery mode) → Recovery Menu → root Drop t root shell
prompt.
So I get a root shell:
root@ederandresan-pc02: ~#_
Where I executed the dmesg and startx commands:
$ dmesg > file_on_usb_drive
$ startx
However, the startx was unusual:
Fatal server error: Could not create lock file in /tmp/tX0-lock.
xauth: error in locking authority file /root/.Xauthority
I don't think the Xorg.0.log file was generated as usual.
I've attached these files: dmesg, Xorg.0.log and grub.

Title:
Ubuntu 13.04 Beta 2- Intel HD Graphics 3000 - No screen
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I've tried to install Ubuntu 13.04 Beta 2 on my HP laptop HP 1000-1220LA
Notebook
(http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03503799)
but there's a problem with the video/screen.
My HP laptop comes con Windows 8 preinstalled with UEFI and in order to
install Ubuntu 13.04 Beta 2 I deactivated the secured boot feature of the UEFI.
The screen resolution is 1366 x 768, 32 bits.
First, the graphical installer didn't show, so I modified the CD BOOT Option
Configuration Line using nomodeset and vga=792 (1024x768, 24 bits) (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers)
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing_the_CD_Boot_Option_Configuration_Line)
to:
BOOT Options ..... nomodeset quiet splash --
vga=792
After, pressing F10 key the graphical install opened and I proceeded
with installation, hoping a dual system. Then, I had to fix the dual
system using refind (www.rodsbooks.com/refind). I know this dual
system is another kind of bug. I'm just telling what I did.
Then, the GRUB screen shows the options to launch Ubuntu 13.04 and Windows 8.
If I select Ubuntu, the screen becomes blank again.
I modified the boot options using nomodeset and vga=792:
linux /vmlinux-3.8.0-16-generic ..... nomodeset
quiet splash $vt_handoff -- vga=792
Which resulted in a command line system. After logging in this command
line system I executed this command to activate the graphical system:
$sudo startx
But the Org video server is unable to run and shows me this log Xorg.0.log
(Attachment).
I think it is a problem with the xserver-xorg-video-intel package.
