The only kernel I can get to work at all in terms of allowing lightdm to run and me to log in is 3.19.x
All Ubuntu kernels I have tried - 4.2.0-23 - 4.3.0-6 - 4.4.0-0 cause boot to lock up. It's not just lightdm that fails. You can't even Alt-Shift F1 to a console. The only 4.x kernel that works (which also allows networking) in mainline 4.4. ** Description changed: - Booting with intel graphics enabled results in a lockup loading lightdm - or logging in results in the greeter screen appearing again. The laptop - has a Nvidia GTX730 graphics card which can be switched off via - bumblebee or prime. + Booting with intel graphics enabled results in a lockup loading lightdm or logging in results in the greeter screen appearing again.
