Brian Gorbe, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc6 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-f.42 ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: bot-stop-nagging needs-upstream-testing regression-update -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153050 Title: Video Fails With Blank Screen After Boot Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu Desktop 12.10 A normal boot results in a black screen with a mouse cursor in the middle (this occurs after the drumroll). Sometimes a normal boot becomes an orange screen, no mouse cursor after the durmroll. A boot in recovery mode works normally (usually) using the open source driver. A boot in recovery mode using the proprietary driver gets to the login screen, but unity fails (no launcher, no top tolbar). A boot in recovery mode sometimes results in a screem shifted 1/2 screen - that is, right hand controls are just to the left of center screen, left hand objects (like the login dialog) are just to the right of center. I re-installed from the install CD (kernel 3.5.0.17?) and boot works normally. I then updated the system (kernel 3.5.0.25) and the video problems resumed.
