Comment 8 for bug 1782739

Daniel,
Clicking on each of these links resulted in a 404 error. I am very
interested and willing to work this issue but I also know your time is
valuable. I have established a work around by setting my system to auto
logon. That bypasses the offending condition. I have not run into the
blank screen anywhere else. I am sure the problem is being caused by some
odd ASUS bios boot-up condition. I have worked with Linux enough to know
the capability and quality of the product. I would blame ASUS before
Ubuntu.

Let me know how you want to proceed.
Thank you.

Gene
