[Bug 1721763] Re: ubuntu is stuck with black screen and blinking cursos at top left on all shutdown or restart

[Edson T. Marques]

By the way, the issue I want to relate is just that one on the sumary:

All times I shut down or reboot my notebook, ubuntu stay stuck in black
screen whit blinking cursor at top left side... No text login prompt to
appears, as expected.

I noticed that this issue was alredy reported some time ago... and there
was too much workarounds... related to changing the grub splash screen
configuration or changing the USB 3.0 configuration at the bios setup...
But nothing of that solved my case.

I have a similar problem when I try to change de workarea of linux using
Ctrl+Alt+F2 or Ctrl+Alt+F3 etc. At the same way, linux not show me the
prompt but stay stuck in a black screen with blinking cursor.

To get out of this I have to give severals changes by repetig
Ctrl+Alt+F5 ...Ctrl+Alt+F6 Ctrl+Alt+F7 Ctrl+Alt+F6 Ctrl+Alt+F5...
because I noticed that this seems to force the text login prompt to
appear.

  ubuntu is stuck with black screen and blinking cursos at top left on

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I really do not know which package to assign this incident, please
  excuse me.

  Any way, the release candidates is near, and this problem continues to
  occur since linux kernel was updated from 4.11 to 4.12 ... and now
  with version 4.13 the problem continues.

  I noticed that this problem does not occur with my other two older
  notebooks (one Sony Vaio and the other a generic one integrated by me)
  both old notes use NVIDIA video card in versions of more than 5 years
  ago.

  My new Dell notebook has a GTX 1050 video card ... but I also do not
  know if the cause of this problem may be linked to the video card and
  the fact that Nouveau driver and linux Kernel have received recent
  implementations for compatibilities with this new NVIDIA technology.

  The fact is that Ubuntu 17.10 has potential to be distributed with
  this problem and I think this may not be interesting, so I am
  reporting this case.

  Thank you.
