I tried Lubuntu also in UEFI mode - still black screen. I tried without
quiet splash (edited the grub menu), and there is a complaint about plymouth

Running /scripts/casper-bottom ... Connecting to plymouth: Connection
refused

Enter did not finish this (even after waiting for a long time), but
during the SysRq reisub sequence, the system was suddenly showing the
Lubuntu login screen, but I could not log in (with user: lubuntu and
password: [blank], which is possible after logging out of a live session)

I think problems with plymouth is involved in this bug as well as in the
bug, where the passphrase is not displayed for encrypted disk, as well
as for not displaying the five dots.

After that I tried in BIOS mode with the same result (without quiet splash).

*Comparison with Ubuntu*

The current Ubuntu Xenial desktop amd64 iso (dated 20160224) is *not*
affected by these plymouth related bugs.

But it is affected by the ubiquity (or upowerd) related bug. I cannot
install anything into my laptop with a battery.

Best regards
