Public bug reported: Upgrade from 16. (LTS) to UBUNTU 18.04 successful until restart now - then failed to boot up. acpi=off allows me to boot up. The 5 blobs on the splash screen were then permanent so switched off as: sudo nano /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi=off" CTRL X, Y, Enter sudo update-grub
I still have a problem that my SAMSUNG monitor is "unknown" and I don't know how to overcome this. It is now in a very strange aspect ratio. Not expecting these types of problems on an upgrade!!! It took hours of effort to work out how to get the computer to start up before I could edit the above file. I would have been completely stuck without access to an old Windows machine!!!
