[GTALUG] FW: Problems with Ubuntu 18.10

[Jeffry Rosmarin]

I had a similar issue. This was due to the following. The issue relates to
the Intel chip
There was a bug reported on Launchpad by several users, which claim that
their Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefsh) installations failed
to boot after an automatic upgrade to linux-image-4.18.0-14. The system was
stuck on the "Starting Load/Save RF Kill Switch
Status..." line, but users managed to boot with an older kernel,
linux-image-4.18.0-13.
Tthere was an issue with the i915 driver on that kernel which would fit
with a system that uses an Intel GPU for
graphics.
Upgrading to the newer 4.18.0-15 resolves this problem.
