Public bug reported:
HP Slate 500 (GMA500) running Precise 12.04 Desktop (i386) installed
from the liveCD upon release day.
Applied fixes from the Wiki: Alt+F1 -> Login -> sudo service lightdm
restart -> add "console=tty1" to grub.
Rebooted and still getting the purple screen then black screen and login
sound.
Booted into recovery but couldn't do anything because the Bezel keys
don't work for menu selection in the Recovery Menu unlike in GRUB. So
hard reset the device again and booted Ubuntu itself, this time it
worked.
Rebooted the device, chose Ubuntu and back to the black screen issue.
However every subsequent time I use the Recovery Mode, Hard Reset,
Ubuntu it works (loads the screen and can see the login menu). This
device also has Windows 8 on it and it has no problems with graphics and
logging in (so not hardware issue).
Summary:
console=tty1 applied to GRUB (correctly)
boot to purple then black screen and no text at all
Boot into recovery, do nothing
Hard reset
Boot Ubuntu and it loads lightdm
