jnowacki, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5225012&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4132 an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (F.39). When you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate how does this improve the situation?
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on how this improves the situation. 3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your help. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-f.39 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- 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/1611916 Title: Virtual consoles TTY (ctrl+alt+f[n]) works but invisible Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On Ubuntu 16.04 I can see nothing when I use Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6], but still can use those invisible TTY's. For example: I can log in typing without sight control on Ctrl+Alt+F1, "who" command (in GUI - Ctrl+Alt+f7) shows logged user, but screen is absolutely black.
