Public bug reported: I am unsure if "boot option" is the correct wording, but to reproduce:
1. Edit /etc/default/grub 2. Change old>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" new>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" 3. run $ sudo update-grub 4. Restart During restart the splash screen looks strange, flickers which then leads to a crash where the computer hangs with a blank screen and totally unresponsive. Only solution hard boot, boot to terminal, revert above setting, reboot. Bug #489447 looks similar but is regarding ATI In redhat https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500752 they seem to have reported a simlilar problem. Please help me collecting the correct info about this problem (I am new to bug-reporting in ubuntu) and comment wether this is the correct place to report this problem. FYI: I was trying to work around Bug #49521 which is a major problem for me. I read somewhere that "nomodeset" could help this problem - well, it did not...
