This is installing Ubuntu 16.04 on a Dell Precision 5820 with the latest Bios revision 1.11.1.
After installing Ubuntu 16.04 (needed to use acpi=off as boot option to get the graphical screen for the installation to work), the screen after booting shows the message "/dev/sda2: clean, ....". The graphical login screen does not show up. After some investigation I figured out it's possible to go to some other terminal (e.g. CTRL + ALT + 1) and start some basic X environment by executing `startx`. This brings up a graphical user interface.
Looking at the output of /var/log/syslog shows a stack trace that seems xorg related.
Does anyone has an idea how to debug or fix this further?
Best,
Juilan
