Freezing when booting into Xorg #42

Closed brandon-barker closed 6 years ago

brandon-barker commented 6 years ago

I've been having issues for the last few weeks trying to boot into Xorg on Ubuntu 18.04 (on my Dell XPS 9560) where it just freezes on login. The only way I can get in is to login using Wayland (which is too slow and I want to be able to use my nvidia card)

So I came across this repo and would love to be able to do a fresh install using a built ISO, but due to work constraints I can't be redoing my whole laptop. So I ran the sudo ./update.sh bionicbeaver command, and hooray! I can finally login using Xorg.

Buuut, after 5 minutes or so, the whole screen locks up and I have to hard reset. Any ideas where or how I can start troubleshooting what is causing the freezing? It could be anything random from opening Slack to opening Files explorer.

Does this happen to anyone else? I'm back to just using Wayland for the moment.

Closing this, solved it by running update.sh with the -c arg, so: sudo ./update.sh -c bionicbeaver.

Everything appears to be working perfectly :) Thank you, this has finally solved my issues with Ubuntu on this machine!!
