apport-collect 872858 Glad to hear that manually installing fglrx worked around it for you. This suggests the problem may be something to do with the radeon kernel drm driver, although since you saw the purple screen it could also be a flaw in the -radeon X driver. I'll assume the latter for now and file it there while we wait for your information. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/872858 Title: Can't boot Ubuntu - Black Screen - Probably drivers?
