I can report that I ran into the same issue. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I got the blinking cursor in the upper left corner at the sd_crypt password screen (although it's not a "black" screen, it's the standard splash screen with password prompt).
If I disable the "splash" option in grub, I can enter my encryption password at the prompt and see the normal login screen from then on, but once booted into Ubuntu videos will play very slow/choppy, so it doesn't work correctly. (This is with the default kernel, 4.4.0-45-generic.) If I choose to boot with the 4.4.0-31-generic kernel, the graphics are working normally from start to finish (sd_crypt screen, login screen, etc. all work), so that seems to be an acceptable workaround for people in the same situation as me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1609242 Title: Kernels 4.3-4.8 result in blackscreen - Intel Ivybridge To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1609242/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
