I saw the white screen when I "side-graded" from plain Ubuntu (that had
Beryl running) to Studio on my desktop. I was able to solve the problem
by the following procedure:

1) Uninstall Beryl

2) Disable the restricted driver (using NVidia here)

3) Reboot

4) Enable restricted driver. Here, the OS told me that I needed a
different kernel and offered to download/install it, to which I
responded yes. Reboot.

5) Install Beryl

I am not sure if this is common, but at least it did work for me.

HTH.
