[Bug 1441891] [NEW] Can't login after upgrade to 15.04 on Dell Inspiron 1525

[Páll Haraldsson]

Public bug reported:

[ubuntu-release-upgrader is probably the wrong package.. standing for
15.04 not working, not sure what to pin this on.. or what more info
needed.]

What I know for a fact:

I did do-release-upgrade to upgrade to 15.04 (in fact twice, first to
14.10)

After reboot to 15.04 I got the login-screen and the mouse pointer was
frozen dead center. I can't type in the password go to virtual console
or toggle CAPS LOCK light.

However I could reboot and choose an old kernel and got a working WiFi.

I tried (purging to force download and) reinstalling of bcmwl-kernel-
source as:

$ lspci |grep BCM
0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)


It didn't help (in fact I lost WiFi in older kernels but fixed that..).


Hardware drivers shows the above and:

Unknown:Unknown
Using Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs from intel-microcode (proprietary)

[That is new, I hadn't seen before and it was disabled. Now enabled and
doesn't make a difference. And not Intel should be upper case..]
