Public bug reported: I did a new install today of Mint 18.3 on my laptop. Dell latitude E6410 Installed without connecting to the internet. After install finished I booted a few times before connecting an external monitor. It still booted ok. Then I ran the software update and got a bunch of level 1 and level 2 updates. No problems. There were four level 3 updates systemd 229-4ubuntu21.1 linix-firmware 1.157.16 linux-libc-dev 4.4.0-116.140 linuxkernel 4.13.0-36.40-16.041
I installed them one at a time and restarted the laptop after each one. After the kernel update the laptop would boot and show the square mint icon for a brief time them the screen goes dark. Once I disconected the external monitor the laptop rebooted correctly. I tested the external montior with VGA and HDMI to DVI cable. The same response. I reverted to the 4.10.0-38 kernel that came with the installer ISO. Am back up and running. There is a problem with the new kernel. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/1751512 Title: Kernel 4.13.0-32 goes dark after boot with two monitors Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I did a new install today of Mint 18.3 on my laptop.
