Karl.S, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. ** Tags added: lucid needs-upstream-testing ** Description changed: I have a big problem with no explications, I've downloaded and installed last updates today (18th July) for ubuntu 64bits and after rebooting, I couldnt reach the login screen, even after many many (many) tries, I decided to reinstall because I was not able to run the system in a normal way or even the recovery mode of any kernel version installed, no way to fix or find the problem, the system is booting but the screen seems to power off during the boot process, if I switch terminal (CTRL+ALT+F2) and reboot (CTRL+ALT+DEL) it works so i think I've installed a xorg update that broke the system. Even after a clean install, no tweaks, i only install all the updates until today and the bug still happens.. its very annoying ! I have a special hardware that i am trying to make it work since the 9.10 and because not a lot of people use it with linux i feel always alone in front of this kind of problems... :( Ubuntu 64bits Alienware M17X Laptop 2x GTX260M Nvidia Intel Q9500 @2.5Ghz 4Go DDR3 SSD 64Gb - --- + + WORKAROUND: "nomodeset" option for kernel boot + + --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
