This is a big problem with amdgpu on the Carrizo card. The screen just goes black, and I am unable to get it to do otherwise, even after rebooting. Using nomodeset as a kernel parameter during grub boot-up allows me to boot it up in low-graphics mode.
I do not have this issue in Ubuntu 14.04, since Ubuntu 14.04 still allows users to install fglrx/Catalyst, which works perfectly with Carrizo. But support for that package has been dropped in later installments of Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642078 Title: Black screen at startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1642078/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
