[Lubuntu] Some PC's or LTSP clients stall during boot at a blank, black screen

[Ioannis Vranos]

Try each of the following:

1. Erase /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and reboot.

If the above does not work,


2. Install linux-firmware-nonfree package, and reboot.

If the above does not work,


3. Uninstall all the video driver packages you do not need, leave only
the one(s) that you need, and reboot.
