Public bug reported: Everything was fine on this PC with 14.04, but it doesn't display anything on 16.04. It doesn't hang because I am able to press CTRL+ALT+F1 and push the power button and it shutdowns normally. Booting with "nomodeset" works (with slow software rendering of course). Upgraded the BIOS from 2.5 to 2.8 and using all the default settings: nothing. Enabled xenail-proposed-updates and installed everything from there: nothing. Tried some BIOS tweaks but didn't fix it either. Radeon HD 8470D AMD A6-6400K AsRock FM2A58M-VG3+. I have access to this PC (my father PC) once a week to try things.
