Public bug reported:
A fresh install of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 on an Asus ZenBook UX501VW hangs
during boot, approximately 80% to 90% of the time... occasionally it
manages to complete the startup for no discrenable reason, at which
point the fan will run at full speed nonstop (very loud) until the
machine is powered down. Due to the information from
<https://marclewis.com/2016/04/25/installing-ubuntu-16-04-lts-on-asus-
zenbook-ux501vw/>, I installed the wily 4.3.5 kernel (replacing 4.4.0)
from <http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3.5-wily/>, which
appears to work perfectly... no bootup hangs or odd fan behaviour
The hang occurs shortly after providing the disk decryption key (I opted
for full-disk encryption during installation). The issue occurs
frequently when booting Ubuntu Gnome from a flash drive using "try
before installation" mode, however, so I'm confident that it's not
actually encryption related.
I am *not* using any proprietary drivers (no nvidia, etc.).
