Oh damn, didn't realize nomodeset disables *everything* these days. in any case, I'm on an optimus laptop with both intel and nvidia, and I can switch between nvidia only, or optimus (both cards active) mode in the bios. prior to 19.10, things worked fine. but after 19.10, things have been an utter mess. no combination of drivers / bios will boot without nomodeset, period. so something has seriously fucked up the modeset drivers in this release. and with nomodeset, the only things that work is straight intel driver in optimus mode, or straight nouveau in discrete mode. the nv binary drivers do not work no matter what I do.
note that this is consistent when booted off a 19.10 live usb too, so it does seem to be a pretty major regression since 19.04. as well, when I can actually at least get a terminal console (which is not possible in discrete bios mode + nv binary drivers), it seems like gpu-manager is doing some odd things. even if the nv binary drivers are installed, it always says something like "desktop system or open drivers, nothing to do", which is clearly inaccurate. I'll definitely try some of the newer kernel packages listed here and get back to you, because my system is a mess right now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849751 Title: [i915] doesn't boot after 19.10 upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1849751/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
