This bug affects me on Ubuntu 14.04, 15.10, 16.04, and Arch Linux. I too have the same AMD chip, A10-8700p, on an HP 17-g121wm. I can only get past the black screen if I boot into low-graphics mode with the nomodeset parameter.
I have scoured countless online resources looking for a solution to this problem. I hope someone knowledgeable and able to do something about it takes notice of this page and works on the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577074 Title: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1577074/+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
