I've solved it for me now with a new graphics card. Couldn't bare the nomodeset anymore knowing there was an alternative solution. Imagine how much I am attached to Ubuntu to rather buy a new graphics card then to switch to another OS ;-). We can keep it open if you want further investigation and

I've just borrowed an external graphics card (ATI) from the office and plugged it, and then it boots without a problem. So it definitely has to do with the GPU I mentioned. It would be too much of a coincidence if this was a hardware problem I think, since the problem appeared immediately since

Do you have any other possible solution or attempt I could do to get this solved? It's pretty annoying to have to run in nomodeset all the time. Screen res is making my eyes weird o.0 ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed

I noticed that I have installed (and could only find) the amd64 image. I have a 64-bit Intel (https://ark.intel.com/products/52209/Intel- Core-i5-2500-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz) processor. Would that matter at all? (Maybe a dumb question, but throwing it out there anyway ;-)) -- You

I've done that now: 1. $ sudo vim /etc/default/grub 2. changed "splash" to "nosplash" 3. $ sudo update-initramfs -u 4. $ sudo update-grub 5. $ sudo reboot Note: * I've added the "-u" option to the update-initramfs as well (it tells me "You must specify at least one of -c, -u, or -d", so I did

I've tried that as well but that does not work either unfortunately. The system freezes pretty much directly after the purple screen appears. Hitting Ctrl+Alt+F4 does not do anything at that moment. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug

I'll try this first thing I get home! Can I run the "sudo update-initramfs" during nomodeset? Or should I remove "nomodeset" first and start in recovery mode? Since otherwise, I am not able to get a command line. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop
