Black screen after login Kubuntu 17.10
When I boot my linux system (now Kubuntu 17.10), I get the normal login screen. I can login and briefly see my desktop (nothing is clickable), and a few seconds later I get a black screen with just the cursor. This happens every time I restart. I'm almost ready to give up and install RedHat, SuSE or a distro that is not based on Ubuntu with better video support!
I have an integrated Intel video chipset. Output from lspci:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
PC is a 2nd Gen Intel Core i5
Things I have tried (all give the same exact result):
- Upgrading from 17.04 to 17.10
- Adding another user account and logging in
- Removing noveau and fglrx drivers
Reinstalling intel drivers:
sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
Booting using the live CD and repairing packages
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Booting with only one monitor connected
My system had been working just fine with 17.04 for the last year, not sure it was an update or a corruption.
- [EDIT] I also tried adding 'nomodeset' to /etc/default/grub by changing
this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"
running update-grub.
This resulted in a strange white screen and hanging on reboot, and on
2nd reboot, I got the same result as before (with the addition of a
superimposed ubuntu logo for a few seconds and only 1 monitor working)

So I was able to to get a GUI back by installing gnome (after reversing the 'nomodeset' change). It's not quite KDE, but I'll live with it...at least I don't have to completely reinstall everything.
