I tried a system-recovery boot of the '-39' kernel. I could 'drop to root prompt', and do apt-get commands, but on attempting that, it complained that it was not using a read-only lock file, and the apt-get commands would fail because it could not get the lock.
The root command prompt is in my dvorak keyboard layout, so I can easily type things. What do I need to type to remove the latest version of the package (xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1.2), so it goes back to using the xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1 version? If I could do that, I could at least verify that it is this package version that is causing the problem. At this point, I am only guessing that is the culprit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389904 Title: With the recent update to xserver-xorg-video-intel, system boots to a black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1389904/+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
