Ubuntu 12.04 crashes on startup for newer versions of Linux, possibly related to WiFi
- by Jake
My computer gets to the screen with the Ubuntu logo and the orange/white dots, and then the screen goes black, spits out a lot of error messages, and cannot boot. (If it'd be helpful, I can take a photo of my screen in this state.)
I've found I can successfully boot if my wireless card is turned off. As soon as I turn it on, my computer crashes with the same black screen of death. I can also successfully boot if I choose "Previous Linux Version" and select a few versions back (I think 3.0.6).
Here are some relevant details about my setup:
Ubuntu 12.04
Computer: Lenovo x230
Wireless: Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter
Processor: Intel Core i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz × 4
RAM: 16 GB of RAM
Thank you!!!
