I have an ASUS EEE 1005HAB netbook pc. I have installed the lubuntu version of ubuntu 17.10 because it was recommended for netbooks.

I've used its previous versions with great success. However, when I upgraded to 17.10, the screen became garbled during bootup. I could still login, but I had to restart the computer a few times in order for it to display properly.

I had to hit Esc during boot, and select the advanced settings and select linux version 4.10. to bootup the netbook.

Will there be a update to take care of this problem? Is there any other solutions for this?

I have seen a couple of very similar posts such as this one

These suggest that you will want to be running in an xorg environment (as opposed to a wayland environment) and then

  • Install xdiagnose, by opening a terminal and entering

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install xdiagnose

  • Start the xdiagnose package

  • Select the checkbox for "Disable Bootloader Graphics"
  • Click the "Apply" button at the bottom of the window
  • Reboot the computer.

To run in an xorg environment, please see this question
