After some time of patience I opened this issue again with some interesting results: Some forums talk about 'nomodeset'. And in deed: it works. - ...better. Now it is possible to boot the Ubuntu life DVD and boot an installed 18.04 in graphical mode. The system seems to behave as everyone would expect. But: There are some drawbacks. - HDMI for display works fine. HDMI for audio is not available. "pactl list sinks|grep -i hdmi" is empty. If I boot without 'nomodeset' (and swicht to a TTY) I do see a HDMI audio device here. - It seems that I can really work with the Ubuntu GUI for a long time. But if I switch to TTY3 for example, then I have a 80x25 display resolution what is not the case with no 'nomodeset'. The only way back is <ctrl>d to close the terminal. Switchin to another terminal is not possible. Then I am in the log in screen again, but now the system is dead. No keyboard, no mouse. Only the clock on top of the screen refreshes and screensaver works...</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
