Sorry, this version is even worse. After the grub menu the screen goes
black, than after about fifteen seconds it gores even blacker, indicating
that there is no longer any signal going to the monitor. A few seconds
after that the "No Signal" notice appears, and after it fades everything
sits quietly. At least with 16.04 there was some visible activity after the
grub menu until it went black. Thanks for the effort, though.
