Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 12.04.5, ASUS model 1015E, x86_64
When I boot the 3.2.0-99 kernel on my ASUS netbook, I pretty much never
get a working display manager. (I think it booted okay the first time
after installing the kernel, but that's it.) Usually I just get a black
display. I have also gotten
- an almost complete login screen, except the background is wrong
(uniform purple instead of my wallpaper), and trackpad clicks are
ignored (but trackpad motion works)
- stuck at the Ubuntu splash screen
I once tried booting in recovery mode. I noticed a message about
modprobe being terminated by signal 9, and I noticed several messages
about modprobe timeouts. But other than that the messages didn't tell
me anything that I could make sense of.
I can ssh into the system. Unfortunately, "apport-bug linux" gets stuck
(it still says "collecting problem information" after 30 minutes), so
I'm filing this directly on Launchpad. I can get the apport
configuration information from the 3.2.0-98 kernel (that kernel works
just fine). I can also collect any log files, ps output, etc. that
you'd like. lightdm does seem to be running. The only suspicious thing
I see in the log files is that Xorg.0.log is missing a bunch of text
that it contains when using the -98 kernel.
I noticed that I had an out-of-date BIOS, but upgrading the BIOS did not
fix anything.
Reinstalling the -99 kernel did not help.
