Black Screen on upgrading from Ubuntu 15.04 to 16.04 LTS
My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?
32 answers
With Ubuntu 17.10, my computer boots to a black screen. Then I need to put the computer to hibernate, either by closing and opening the lid or pressing the start switch to make it hibernate and then press it again.
I've been facing this problem ever since I upgraded to Ubuntu 15.04, and this continued even after I moved further up to 16.04. However, I did not get any response to either post that could help solve the problem - except to use nomodeset, which as I have pointed out in the second post, is not really a solution.
Hardware details: My machine is a HP Pavilion g6 with AMD Quad-Core A6-3420M with Radeon 6520G graphics card
Graphics Card details:

OpenGL vendor string: X.Org

OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 17.2.2
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 17.2.2

OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 17.2.2
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00
It is possible that my hardware represents a corner case but I'm sure there are many more users like me. Ubuntu would not be a low cost solution for me if I am forced to upgrade my hardware. However, for the past three years, it appears that Ubuntu is not interested in looking at this issue. I hope at least in 18.04 there will be some good news for me!
