Title: [HP Pavilion Notebook - 17-g164ng] black screen when booting Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When booting the screen is black – backlight on – off - on. When HDD is inactive - keyboard is not locked and I can shutdown/reboot by Alt + Print +o/b or Strg + Alt + Del - remote access e.g. using ssh is possible Testsystems: Ubuntu/Kubuntu 14.04, 15.10, 16.04, 16.10. My notebook is a HP Pavilion 17-g164ng with an AMD A10-8780P APU and 2 graphic subsystems - Carrizo, a VGA compatible controller and Topaz. It seems very similar to that described in #1597079. The bug report was generated from a remote PC. My HP notebook was started without any workaround parameters. This apport doesn't display the second graphic subsystem Topaz R7 as an apport generated with nomodeset xforcevesa. WORKAROUND: In 14.04 and 15.10 I installed fglrx – the AMD driver. WORKAROUND: When booting in UEFI mode, use kernel parameters: nomodeset or: nomodeset xforcevesa Resolution without xforcevesa: 800x600 Resolution with xforcevesa: 1600x900 – the optimal resolution ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-45.66-generic 4.4.21 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-45-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None Date: Sat Nov 5 23:40:19 2016 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: xenial DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: I just need to know a workaround GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
