This bug affects me on Ubuntu 16.04, but not on 15.10 where the fglrx drivers are still available. I have the graphics card A10-8700P APU "Carrizo" on my HP ProBook 455 G3 laptop. Like Joshua above, but only on 16.04, I can only get past the black screen if I boot into low-graphics mode with the nomodeset parameter.
However, in my web search regarding this issue, I found a recommendation at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117591 Comment #7, to append "amdgpu.runpm=0" to the kernel command line in Grub setparams. I'm going to try that with the Ubuntu 16.04 LiveUSB and report back. ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #117591 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117591 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577074 Title: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1577074/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
