PKduck, thank you for providing the requested information. As per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/vostro-3400 an update is available for your BIOS (A10). 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 just 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. ** Summary changed: - [STAGING]Cannot access the text console. + [Dell Vostro 3400] Cannot access the text console. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream-v13.3-rc3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/734996 Title: [Dell Vostro 3400] Cannot access the text console.
