For what it's worth, the 4.6.0 kernel from <http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.6-yakkety/> appears to work perfectly in conjunction with the "nouveau.modeset=0" boot parameter. I haven't encountered any bootup hangs with this combination, no issues with the fan, nor any apparent loss of functionality. [NOTE: I have not re-tested any of the previous kernels with this parameter]
For the time being I've simply added the setting to /etc/default/grub (see below), followed by running "sudo update-grub". $ grep nouveau /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nouveau.modeset=0 quiet splash" I'll let you know if any side effects arise, but I've rebooted about 6-8 times so far and everything appears to be rock solid. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575437 Title: Asus ZenBook UX501VW frequently hangs during boot under Ubuntu 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1575437/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
