BTW now the screen also gets stuck as black-screen when I close my
laptop lid, wait some seconds and open it again.

And the functions keys to regulate screen brightness are working no more
(I also tried to change brightness with this tool
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2017/05/install-brightness-
controller-utility-in-ubuntu-16-04-higher/ but it had no effect ...)

Could this be related to the above described issue?

Title:
  Black/purple screen after booting Ubuntu

Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I am failing to boot into a freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS on my
  ThinkPad-T460. When choosing the right bootloader in BIOS I get a dark
  screen, Ubuntu is not booting (also after 15mins of waiting ...).

  I first thought my issue would be a *Black/purple screen after you
  boot Ubuntu for the first time* like over here:
  https://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-
  screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it

  So I added ```ǹomodeset``` in the script executed before booting
  Ubuntu. Interestingly I was able to boot and then made this change
  persistent by updating the bootloader. I tried some more times to boot
  and suddenly it stopped working properly (with same blackscreen as
  before). I also took a look to the bootscript, ```ǹomodeset``` was
  present there.

  Then I played around with some other obscure suggestions like adding
  ```nouveau.noaccel=1``` instead of ```nomodeset``` and replace
  ```qiuiet splash``` by ```noapic noacpi nosplash inqpoll```, but
  nothing gave me a soultion which did not get stuck with black screen
  of death after some reboots.

  I am a little bit clueless at the moment, so I have appended the uncompressed 
logs in ```/var/log```, captured like in 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot .
  The files appended are from a boot that got stuck, I have killed my laptop 
after 10mins of nothing happening.

  Btw. I have a dual boot with Windows 10, but I do not know if this is
  relevant for this issue.

  Best
  Alexander
