Public bug reported: This bug affects me on Ubuntu 16.04, but not on 15.10 where the fglrx drivers are still available. I have the graphics card A10-8700P APU "Carrizo" on my HP ProBook 455 G3 laptop. I get a black screen immediately unless I set the kernel parameter nomodeset and boot into low graphics.
I found a recommendation at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117591 Comment #7, to append "amdgpu.runpm=0" to the kernel command line in Grub setparams. I did try that with the Ubuntu 16.04 LiveUSB. The result was that it booted into the live Ubuntu with the correct resolution but after 5 minutes or so, I got the black screen again. I wish AMD or Canonical or whoever is responsible for the decision to make fglrx unavailable in 16.04 would reconsider and provide for a smoother transition by allowing users with graphics cards that are still unsupported by amdgpu to "opt-in" to fglrx until AMD works out the all the kinks. It's as if they just don't care about end users whatsoever. This is the behavior one would expect of Microsoft, not Ubuntu. Man, am I frustrated!
