Public bug reported: I installed the kinetic beta this morning in VirtualBox VM (6.1.38-dfsg-3). On the first boot after install, it got as far as the Ubuntu logo and then the screen went black and I couldn't do anything. I tried to reboot it a few times to no avail. Eventually, I rebooted it into recovery mode and used the 'repair broken packages' option and that changed around some packages. The system resumed from recovery mode and brought me to the normal desktop. I used it stably for a while and I rebooted it twice in the normal course of what I was doing with it. It booted to the desktop fine both times.
However, when I rebooted it a third time, it booted to the black screen again. I rebooted it into recovery mode and ran the 'repair' again. It didn't change any packages, but resuming from recovery booted me into a usable system. I filed this bug from the terminal directly after that reboot. Expected Result: Consistent boot to desktop Actual Result: Inconsistent boot to a black screen; seemingly fixed by entering and exiting recovery mode lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu Kinetic Kudu (development branch) Release: 22.10 apt policy xorg: Installed: 1:7.7+23ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:7.7+23ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:7.7+23ubuntu2 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu kinetic/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+23ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.19.0-15.15-generic 5.19.0 Uname: Linux 5.19.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.23.0-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/boot.log' CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sat Oct 1 13:26:51 2022 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: kinetic DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: VMware SVGA II Adapter [15ad:0405] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: VMware SVGA II Adapter [15ad:0405] InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-10-01 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 22.10 "Kinetic Kudu" - Beta amd64 (20220927.1) Lsusb: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 80ee:0021 VirtualBox USB Tablet Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Lsusb-t: /: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ohci-pci/12p, 12M |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 12M MachineType: innotek GmbH VirtualBox ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.19.0-15-generic root=UUID=2628bb97-3fa1-41ab-92ca-3d98c5e16424 ro recovery nomodeset dis_ucode_ldr SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) XorgLogOld: dmi.bios.date: 12/01/2006 dmi.bios.vendor: innotek GmbH dmi.bios.version: VirtualBox dmi.board.name: VirtualBox dmi.board.vendor: Oracle Corporation dmi.board.version: 1.2 dmi.chassis.type: 1 dmi.chassis.vendor: Oracle Corporation dmi.modalias: dmi:bvninnotekGmbH:bvrVirtualBox:bd12/01/2006:svninnotekGmbH:pnVirtualBox:pvr1.2:rvnOracleCorporation:rnVirtualBox:rvr1.2:cvnOracleCorporation:ct1:cvr:sku: dmi.product.family: Virtual Machine dmi.product.name: VirtualBox dmi.product.version: 1.2 dmi.sys.vendor: innotek GmbH version.compiz: compiz N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.112-3ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 22.2.0-1ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx N/A version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:21.1.4-2ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev N/A version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:19.1.0-3 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20210115-1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.17-2build1 ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug kinetic ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1991452 Title: Kinetic boots to black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1991452/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
