Public bug reported: After a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.1, on its first boot, the computer hung at a purple screen. No login prompt was ever displayed. After holding the power button, the computer boot into Ubuntu without difficulty. I applied the workaround described in bug 1727356, uncommenting WaylandEnable=False and rebooted the machine, but it again hung at the purple screen.
