AMD 390x connected to monitor via display port.
Haven't booted into my ubuntu partition for a while. The only thing I had installed was Steam, Steam for linux, wine, and this Padoka PPA
Booted it up, decided to run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Afterwards it said it needed to reboot...
Before rebooting, I also installed from the package manager:
- various desktop wallpapers from previous ubuntu releases via terminal
- Dropbox
- KeepassXC
- KeepassXC snap (by accident, then removed it)
- Qbitorrent
I also installed Brave Browser via (per their site):
curl https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ `lsb_release -sc` main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-`lsb_release -sc`.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install brave-browser
Then when I went to open Brave browser, everything locked up and the screen made a bunch of graphical glitches. I hard rebooted and it just kept showing the Ubuntu loading screen ("Ubuntu" with the 5 or so dots beneath it). It would show this screen, then go black and do this about 5 times. Ultimately ending in a bunch of static on the screen (graphical glitch) and I'd have to hard reboot it.
Tried rebooting it 3 times, same thing each time. I booted into windows 7 from grub just fine so it's not hardware.
Any ideas?
Kind of an answer. I removed the padoka ppa and now it boots up fine. So there was some update recently that broke the padoka ppa on Ubuntu 18.04 (for my hardware anyway.
