Users of Dell systems equipped with AMD graphics components running Ubuntu 16.04 may encounter system boot failure after carrying out an on-line update and it could be caused by the following 2 things:
Cause 1: The needed soft links in files under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/ by the existing amdgpu dkms were overwritten by the mesa related packages in the update process, which results in a broken amdgpu driver.
Cause 2: The existing amdgpu dkms fails to build in the new kernel introduced by the on-line update, which also leads to a broken amdgpu driver.
Suggested recovery steps:
When prompted by a "The system is running in a low-graphics mode" dialog box, try to switch to a virtual console, for example, by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F3 at the same time. And log in there using your username and password.
Run the following command to remove the broken amdgpu driver and get the system to fall back to the built-in amdgpu:
sudo apt purge amdgpu-core amdgpu-dkmsReboot the system and you should be able to successfully boot into Ubuntu Desktop this time.
You can opt to install the latest packaged amdgpu driver here for better support of AMD's Raven Ridge APU and WX series graphics cards.
