Long black screen during boot on Ubuntu 18

  • 772

Up until now, I used Ubuntu 16 and everything worked fine. But then I did a clean install of Ubuntu 18 and now I am faced with a quite annoying problem.

Every time I turn on my computer, then during Ubuntu boot process the screen goes black, the computer does nothing, this continues 2 minutes, and then the PC continues to boot normally.

How can I fix this issue? I am using an HD5850 GPU with ubuntu drivers and have no extra hardware installed.

Here is the blame log

  1. I may have found an answer, someone else asked a similar question with my experience of upgrading to 18 AND doing a fresh install.

    I did this and it completely solved my blank screen problem that took minutes. Hopefully it solves it for you?

    Boot hangs for 30 seconds at "Begin: Running /scripts/local-premount"
