gpone, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. 1) To see if this is already resolved in your release, could you please undo your WORKAROUNDs, update your HWE stack as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack and advise to the results?
2) If still reproducible, could you please provide the missing information from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot ? ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.2.7 ** Summary changed: - Xorg freeze with Nvidia 960m on Dell Inspiron 15-7559 + [Inspiron 15 7000 Series 7559] Display freezes when booting with nouveau ** Description changed: - Posted first about this issue at - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2339198 + When attempting to boot, the display freezes on the Ubuntu splash screen + after entering my disk password. - Pasted post below: + WORKAROUND: When using nouveau remove "quiet" and "splash" from my grub + configuration. - "I installed Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop alongside Windows 10 Home on a Dell - Inspiron 15-7559 with an Nvidia 960m card and embeded Intel Skylake - graphics. - - When I first installed Ubuntu and attempted to boot, the display would - freeze on the Ubuntu splash screen after entering my disk password. - Strangely, by removing "quiet" and "splash" from my grub configuration - during my next boot, I was able to finally boot to the login screen and - access the desktop. I installed the Intel and Nvidia drivers in the - "Additional Drivers" app and now I can boot to the login screen with no - issues. - - Now, when closing the laptop lid to suspend the system, it resumes to a - blank screen and I can't get it to recover from this state without - holding the power button to force shutdown. I verified that it is a - display issue because I was able to ssh into the machine while it had - the blank screen. - - I was able to install and boot into the latest (4.8) mainline kernel, - which also gave me a warning/error because of my installed proprietary - drivers. I tried uninstalling the Nvidia drivers to see if Nouveau had - been fixed/improved, but the previous splash screen freeze returned; I - was able to reinstall the drivers by booting into 4.8 recovery mode and - using the Failsafe graphics mode to reinstall the Nvidia drivers. - - Any help on getting Nouveau to work nicely with the 960m so I don't have - to run proprietary drivers or solve the suspend issue?" - - Now, I sometimes cannot shutdown properly without getting warnings about - cpu soft lockups from gpu-manager. I also get these when I boot without - nvidia drivers with "quiet" and "splash" options removed from my grub - config. + WORKAROUND: Use nvidia proprietary driver.
