It seems like three questions need to be answered: * What is the root cause? * When will it be fixed? * What are the workarounds in the meantime?
For workarounds: this bug is specific to certain Intel graphics chipsets, right? If the list of bad chipsets can be determined, then the installer/updater could "blacklist" those and automatically add the i915.modeset=0 to the grub configuration if necessary -- correct? That's probably not as great of a solution as actually fixing the problem, but at least it would make these offending computers usable without "user hacking". -- i915: black screen on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
