I ran the suggested test and added i915.i915_enable_rc6=0 to the kernel boot parameters, but it had no effect. The issue is not resolved. With disabled RC6 the behaviour is exactly the same like with enabled one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

Could you also test if Unity 2D will work around this bug? There are instructions on how to install and start Unity 2D at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity2D -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

How should it? The purple screen appears immediatly after grub. I don't see any plymouth, I even don't see any text messages or blinking cursor. Only a dead purple screen. I don't get to lightdm, I cant't get to another tty, so how should I test unity2D? I would be happy to at least get to a shell

Thanks for your efforts and advices, Joseph! I did apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade a few minutes ago and with these updates a new kernel landed, I think it was linux generic 3.2.0-20.33. I rebooted and the problem did not exist anymore!!! I don't know what it fixed, but the last updates

When I start the system the POST is passed and then grub2 should be loaded, but this does not happen. Even if I press the shift-key there is no message grub is loading Instead I get to a purple screen like described above. If I reboot after this, grub is loaded. If I select the 3.2.0-20 kernel

When you reach the purple screen, are you able to switch to another tty, which can be done by pressing CTRL + ALT and F1? If you can do that, please run the following from that tty: apport-collect 964721 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High ** Tags added: kernel-da-key

No, I am not able to switch to another tty. The system shows no reaction to keyboard inputs. I tried to shut down the system with SysRq-Keys (SysRq + REISUB), but no reaction. The only way out is the power-button. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue. However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is
