It's definitly the kernel version that popped up after the update I did 2 nights ago. now that I have removed 3.16.0.36 ...I am able to log on as normal on to 3.16.0.34.
After the updates I can't log into the 3.16.0.36 kernel version at all therefore I am unable to get you the ' apport -collect..' information. After the updates. .. it requires to do a restart... when it restarts... u see a purple screen. ...then black...and a dash on the left hand top corner blinking. ...after few seconds it disappears and stays blank black screen... never goes to the log in screen. Does that help? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450905 Title: Why is my laptop not booting up after a major 112M update yesterday?
