Public bug reported: After upgrading from 14.10 to 15.04, I can no longer boot my machine normally. After the GRUB screen, some things load as they should, then the screen turns all black (no cursor, and no backlight), and though I hear the Ubuntu login "drum sound" played, the screen is just black and no login dialog is shown.
If I boot into recovery mode, then select "resume normal boot", I do not experience this issue, and the login screen is shown, and I can login and use the machine, although the resolution of the screen is not good, and I can't select others from the control center.
