sudo only ever asks for your password. When the prompt says '[sudo] password for ubuser:', it wants the password for the user ubuser.
So, in a terminal, you entered 'echo options i915 modeset=1 | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf' (without the quotes, of course), entered your password at the sudo password prompt and it refused it, prompting you again? I've never seen it refuse a correct password. I'd suggest checking your NumLock and CapsLock to ensure that they are the way you expect them when typing in your password (normally NumLock on and CapsLock off). A quick test is in a terminal type 'sudo echo password-worked' (you may substitute "password-worked" for any string you like) and it should say "password-worked" then return you to the normal command prompt. -- [855gm] black screen at logon screen on 1st boot after install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/593239 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
