I can confirm that this bug is also affecting me with an HP DV6704nr laptop (AMD64 X2, nVidia 7150M, etc.). Nitto's trick does work as well as holding down the button. I noticed this immediately from booting up the LiveCD as without the power supply being plugged in it hung up at the boot and with the power supply plugged in it booted.
Previously had 8.04 installed with no problems. Did a clean install with 8.10 and ran into this issue immediately - booting with no splash screen shows that I'm hanging at the same spot. Same with shutdown/restart. -- System freezes during boot, unless I hold a key down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272247 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
