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?

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.
