Vlada Macek, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/latitude-e6530/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (A16). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a16 ** Attachment removed: "apport.linux-image-3.13.0-40-generic.vvsmpm6b.apport" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1397321/+attachment/4270131/+files/apport.linux-image-3.13.0-40-generic.vvsmpm6b.apport ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1397321 Title: All images beyond 3.13.0-34-generic don't boot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The linux-image-3.13.0-34-generic is the last kernel that (months ago) smoothly booted my Dell Latitude E6530 laptop with LUKS encrypted SSD. Usually it was asking for LUKS passphrase in blue graphical screen of Xubuntu. All kernels since then just show the usual BIOS "DELL" in circle splash, then 1 minute black screen and then BusyBox, ... (initramfs) _ I'm not aware of doing anything to cause the problem like changing booting, upgrading ubuntu release etc. Today I discovered that the current linux-image-3.13.0-40-generic boots in Recovery mode, asking for passphrase in text mode. Then I can resume normal boot in text dialog and almost all is up. But the xrandr does not work as well as monitor switching etc. Will return to the old -34 kernel. I asked in the local Linux group and other user reports the same, he didn't resolve the problem as well. Attaching the apport report. Thanks for hope. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.5 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: Error: command ['fuser', '-v', '/dev/snd/by-path', '/dev/snd/controlC0', '/dev/snd/hwC0D0', '/dev/snd/hwC0D3', '/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c', '/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p', '/dev/snd/pcmC0D3p', '/dev/snd/pcmC0D7p', '/dev/snd/pcmC0D8p', '/dev/snd/seq', '/dev/snd/timer'] failed with exit code 1: CurrentDmesg: Error: command ['sh', '-c', 'dmesg | comm -13 --nocheck-order /var/log/dmesg -'] failed with exit code 1: comm: /var/log/dmesg: Permission denied dmesg: write failed: Broken pipe DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-11-27 (731 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release i386 (20121017.1) MachineType: Dell Inc.
