            Bug ID: 107681
           Summary: Graphics driver problem prevents normal boot - only
                    works in recovery mode
           Product: DRI
           Version: XOrg git
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: DRM/Intel

After installing ubuntu 18.04, unable to boot normally.  Boot screen (with
"Ubuntu" logo) flickers, intermittent "checklist" flickers on screen, and
appears to be stuck (i.e. same messages repeat endlessly).  Flicker is too
quick for my eyes to register what the messages are.

Tried several flavours of ubuntu, as well as linux mint, with the exact same
results.

Current workaround is to press shift key and boot in recovery mode.  Everything
then boots normally.  Have to do this at every boot.
