Alex Wijnstra, as per http://www.packardbell.co.uk/pb/en/GB/content/download an update is available for your BIOS (1.14). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Description changed: - I recognize the problem over here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1047483 on a Packard Bell Easynote TK36-AV-105. + On a Packard Bell Easynote TK36-AV-105, the black screen first appears + in Ubuntu 11.04 and all versions released since 11.04 (kernel 3.x?). + There is a visual with bootoption nomodeset. + Specs: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/267864/packard-bell-easynote-tk36-av-105.html#tab:info - This laptop also contains a Integrated Intel GMA4500. - - The black screen first appears in Ubuntu 11.04 and all verions released - since 11.04 (kernel 3.x?).
