The low graphics and VT boots sound like the drm race condition bug #982889. There is a workaround posted in comment #5, and I've coded what I think is a possible fix. The fix is in a PPA, but I'm waiting on someone to test it to verify it does fix it before I upload it. (I'm not 100% certain it will fix the issue for all cases, maybe just certain failure modes.)
The crash in the photo might be an unrelated bug, since it occurs during regular system usage. (#982889 happens only at boot). I'm not seeing other reports about it though. Let's focus this bug report on that issue. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => xorg-server (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Intel Graphics instability/unreliability + xserver crash n drm_vblank_count_and_time -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1136699 Title: xserver crash n drm_vblank_count_and_time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1136699/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
