Sorry for the delay. My laptop was away for a while getting repaired. Apparently water magically appeared on the GPUs and the mobo. Allowing the repair to cost me instead of the manufacturer. Lovely :-/
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate all the help I can get. Fed up with windows lol. Anyway I tried to run apport-collect 1336451. I was unable to do so because there were missing python modules. At 1st it was pyqt4.qtcore. I managed to install that. But after that it was pykde4.kdecore and my Google-fu was not strong enough to find out how to get that. On the kernel side. I used the kernel from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.18-vivid/ This is what I did: - Removed fglrx. - Rebooted with nomodeset and nolapic. - Installed: linux-image-3.18.0-031800-generic_3.18.0-031800.201412071935_amd64.deb linux-headers-3.18.0-031800_3.18.0-031800.201412071935_all.deb linux-headers-3.18.0-031800-generic_3.18.0-031800.201412071935_amd64.deb - Rebooted with only nomodeset. Unfortunately its still the same as before. Somewhere between 10 to 30 seconds after the login screen loads it freezes completely. The mouse stops moving, its unable to change to a different TTY and I have to force a shutdown by holding down the power button. Adding the relevent tags and changing to confirmed as requested. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1336451 Title: Cannot boot/run ubuntu without acpi=off or nolapic.
