Public bug reported:
I upgraded my laptop to Bionic but the display failed to work. I was able to
get into the grub menu on the install media and entered nouveau.modeset=0 which
has worked in previous versions of Ubuntu but with Bionic I get a blank
display. Sound works and I can hear Ubuntu start.
I was able to install Bionic by connecting a monitor to the HDMI port on the
laptop and then hitting the FN+F9 on my laptop keyboard to switch the display
to the main screen and could install fine. Once the system rebooted, I hit
enter on my keyboard and then blindly typed in my password and the remote
display came on again, and I was able to hit FN+F9 to go back to the main
screen and finish setting up the laptop. I installed the NVIDIA proprietary
drivers, which I have done in the past versions of Ubuntu to get the laptop
display to work properly, but this didn't fix it. I also removed the
nouveau.modeset=0 from the /etc/default/grub configuration and re-ran sudo
update-grub and rebooted and still, the local display does not work.
I was working on this issue in the past when Bionic first released (LP:1761261)
and another user found a patch for the pincntrl that does fix this issue.
Looking at where the patch came from, there are known bugs with the patch with
Google Chromebooks, so this patch has never been pushed upstream, and it does
not fix every issue with the laptop. For example, the brightness controls on
the keyboard do not work as well as the calculator short cut or the ROG buttons
(which I don't expect ever will work since they are designed for the ROG App in
Windows OS)
