Bug Description
Installed O.S. on Samsung NC10. Display worked O.K. in text mode so the install went smoothly. When the system is rebooted, however, switching to graphics mode results in the below described screen corruption:-
Left Hand Side 80% of screen black with a blue of white pixels and some blue lines at the top
Right Hand Side 20% of screen OK.

So are any of these (there are more of them) actually new? We need to know if this is something related to any of those warnings as it can help debugging.

I received an e-mail from <email address hidden> with a subject of "A new
build of Lubuntu Alternate i386 is ready for testing!" - referring to
version: 20171017.1, with a link to http://
cker/milestones
This was downloaded by me:-
ian@turing:
6beffce30b77f7c
I created install media by running Startup Disc Creator and the above iso.
Booted my Samsung NC10 and installed the lubuntu 32-bit version. During
installation, everything was text mode and O.K. On booting into the system,
as soon as it switched from text mode to graphics mode, I experienced this
graphics corruption:-
Left Hand Side 80% of screen black with a blue of white and some blue at
the top
Right Hand Side 20% of screen OK.
I'm exhausted. I'll do those further tests tomorrow evening.

Put onto flash drive.
Did this on the Samsung NC10 NetBook (hostname "hawking") with the graphics
problem.
=======
Copied into ~/usk folder on NetBook
Did a sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Rebooted.
Using this kernel:-
===================
Linux hawking 4.14.0-
02:43:31 UTC 2017 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
When NetBook connected to an external monitor
=======
It appears that, when the system is connected to an external monitor, the
graphics corruption doesn't happen. However, the login screen is black with
a mouse pointer. Typed password in blind - no luck. Did it a few times,
eventually managed to login.
On the external monitor, the display is perfect.
On the NetBook screen, it is almost perfect - the task bar at the bottom of
the screen is not present.
Note: with this kernel, the system can't see my Ethernet connection.
When NetBook only using built in screen
=======
Boot screen left hand side 80% black with some smudges of text, remainder
20% of screen is black with the occasional part of a kernel message, later
in boot process is blue.
Login screen left hand side 80% black, remainder perfect
Typed password in blind.
Login screen left hand side 80% black, remainder perfect - even part of the
taskbar is visible.
Anomaly - when I do a screen shot by pressing the Print Screen key, when
viewed on my personal computer, the image is *perfect*. I'm no graphics
developer but it suggests to me the frame buffer is OK, so the problem is
something else.

As I mentioned earlier, when a screenshot is taken of the corrupted screen, a perfect snapshot is produced, suggesting the frame buffer is OK and the problem lies elsewhere.

The equipment being tested, a Samsung NC10 Netbook, is a 32-bit device, so
I am unable to test it on that.
For convenience, here are some hardware details:-
Intel Atom N270, 1.66GHz, 32-bit, 2GiB RAM, 149.05 GiB hard drive, no
optical drive, Ethernet and WiFi connections, lubuntu typically installed

I can't add much to this apart from a small amount of personal experience.
A couple of weeks ago, I installed lubuntu 17.04 onto my Samsung NC10. It behaved perfectly.
After 17.10 came out, I selected to upgrade and this problem occurred, exactly as described above.
I am new to Linux, but curious, so I tried all combinations of Xubuntu and Lubuntu from 16.04, 17.04 and 17.10 on clean install and upgrade.
Whatever combo I tried, 17.10 had the same issue and anything else was fine.

I can confirm the bug too.
After the Xubuntu update from 17.04 to 17.10, the intel mobile graphics is broken.
Moreover, the issue seems to be a little bigger.
The bug here is the same one as bug #1720703 , so Mods please merge the two bugs.
(https:/
It seems to have nothing to do with the Ubuntu distro, as is is present in Ubuntu Mate,
Ubuntu, Lubuntu und Xubuntu, all Versions 17.10 -- > so this indicates that it is Kernel 4.13
related.
And it seems to affect other distros as well.
The bug also affects OpenSuse, with Kernel 4.13:
https:/
So there seems to be something wrong with Kernel 4.13 with the Intel Graphics 945.
In the openSUSE Bug Report, users state that Kernels 4.11 and 4.12 are still working.
I will test that right now and report back.
Thank you Community for all the efforts.
Eduard (eddy-spageddy) wrote : | #15 |
@kaihengfeng;
I have tried both kernels you proposed, and can confirm what has been stated in the opensuse-Forum:
Both Kernels 4.11 and 4.12 SEEM to be working and show no graphic glitches.
So the first idea would be that something happend within the Kernel transition from 4.12 to 4.13, , but not too easy.
Trying to open differnet Applications with 4.12 shows that there is already something fishy going on with the graphics, e.g. LibreOffice will not start with Kernel 4.12 and I believe it must have to do with the graphics.
This is in accordance with the errors / logs / exceptions posted in the opensuse bug-report.
So for Computers / Laptops / Netbooks using the Intel Mobile 945 Chipsets and Ubuntu 17.10, I would personally recommend the 4.11 Kernel, for I found it to be most stable and all applications I have tested so far do work.
I can help with logs and dmesg if needed, please just tell me what logs you need.
For everyone who has this error, I will show you a workaround so you can still use your computer even after the update to 17.10.
The workaround consists of installing kernel 4.11 and using it.
Enter Grub (which is the startup manager) by holding down the shift key while booting.
If you have Grub showing up on every boot (e.g. if you have a multi OS and also have Win 7/8/10) installed, even better.
Now select Ubuntu ... enhanced options and then select starting up with the 4.10 Kernel (which still should be installed if you have updated from 17.04). If the option to start up with the 4.10 kernel is not available, select recovery mode (which should also work fine, but you have to work with a low resolution then)
In the 4.10 Ubuntu (recovery mode) open your browser and go to this directory:
http://
under "Build for i386 succeeded" download these 3 files:
linux-headers-
linux-headers-
linux-image-
After the download, put those 3 Files in a new, seperate folder, and open the directory with the terminal (right click on the folder --> open in Terminal).
In the Terminal post:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Press enter and wait. The 4.11 Kernel will be installed, it takes a while.
After that, you can reboot your computer and in Grub in the enhanced options you can now start your computer with the 4.11 generic kernel, which works fine for me.
If you want Ubuntu to start up everytime with the 4.11 Kernel, you can use the "Grub Customzier" for that. Here is how you install the grub customizer:
http://
Let's hope that someone in this Linux world can make the Intel Mobile Graphics card work again in a de-bugged 4.13 kernel =)
Cheers and Kudos everyone !

OK, I installed those versions. Did some testing. Here are the results for
kernels 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14:-
4.11 - display OK, Ethernet (Internet) OK
4.12 - display OK, Ethernet (Internet) OK
4.13 - display problem (80% of the left hand side of screen black with
smudges) occurs, Ethernet (Internet) OK
4.14 - *Very* occasionally the display works. Usually the display problem
(80% of the left hand side of screen black with smudges) occurs
Note: also saw on 4.14 that Internet(Ethernet does not work). The other
kernels (4.11,4.12,4.13) can see ethernet and internet OK.

I can get the display to work OK if I do this:-
* Boot NetBook.
* As soon as Samsung BIOS logo shows, press and the power switch down till
it does a hard power down.
* Switch computer on. Boot messages appear as text, everything just works.
HTH,
Ian

If it is important though, I can re-run the tests and carefully note if the
networking is OK or not.

Can confirm! I have two laptops with Atom n270, both are affected.
My post at AskUbuntu: https:/
A copy from my post:
"The mouse is visible on the black part, and i can drag windows from there. Print screen produces a normal pic with all the desktop as it should look like.
I have this problem with 2 atom n270 laptops, With the first one I could "fix" it temproary by connecting an external screen, then switching to CLI (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and back to the gui (Ctrl+Alt+F7). It might be a temporary fix for the second laptop too, just didn't check it.
It happens only in 17.10 versions (Ubuntu, Ubuntu mate, Lubuntu). Previous versions of Ubuntu are fine. Also Windows and Manjaro are fine.

I have the same exact issue on Acer Aspire One A110 (ZG5). In my case this happened after upgrade from 17.04 to 17.10. The workarounds are either pass nomodeset option to kernel at boot, or just choose the previous kernel (4.10 in my case). The latter solution gives me correct 1024x600 resolution and is preferred until this problem is resolved.

Edit the grub file and comment the following entry;

Then rebuild the grub
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Reboot and enjoy
I was going to settle for running lts but this works for my setup no issues at all.

Hi,
Sorry for the slow reply. I have been somewhat distracted by a physical
illness
As others have done, I set a GRUB variable with the line:-
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD
I also commented out the line that set the GRUB variable
GRUB_HIDDEN_
With those changes in place,
1. Graphics problems disappear.
2. It is easier to choose a particular kernel at boot time
However, in last week's testing I noticed a few problems with other
kernels. I'll summarise my notes because I tested about 11 kernels.
The 4.14.-041400rc5
ethernet and Wi-Fi don't work.
There was a temporary regression in 4.13.0-
and4.13.
HTH,
Ian

I can confirm that adding the line to the GRUB fixes the problem on the Samsung NC10.

I had that problem as well :) I'll do my best to explain things. If I
over-explain things, I apologise, if I under-explain things, ask me to
clarify things.
The Linux kernel is the very core of Linux, it handles the hardware on
behalf of the programs we want to run.
GRUB is the "Grand Unified Bootloader" GRUB is a rather accomplished system
to handle booting things - typically a Linux kernel or memtest86+.
It can do many things and even has a built-in scripting language for
flexibility. The manual can be found here:-
https:/
With lubuntu, GRUB is used to load a Linux kernel. If you want to see the
GRUB menu when booting your computer, switch it on and press both SHIFT
keys down and you should see a menu. With at least these two options:
* Ubuntu
* Advanced Options for Ubuntu
If you highlight the "Ubuntu" option and press 'e' you will see a GRUB
script specific to that kernel. Most of that stuff can be ignored. The line
beginning with the word linux is the interesting one - see
https:/
details. Basically, you can edit that line to send information to the
kernel or tell it to do something differently. For instance, I've been
doing that recently to stop the arguments quiet and splash being passed to
the kernel
If you want to run a different kernel to the default on your system, select
"Advanced Options for Ubuntu", you will get a list of available kernels you
can run them as-is or you can highlight your preferred kernel and press 'e'
if you want to change the parameters passed to the kernel.

Eugene has already answered that :)

Edited /etc/default/grub. Made apport=0 a default parameter. Booted kernel
4.14 .0-041400rc5-
make sure the parameter was being passed to the kernel. It was.
Which kernel(s) are you using?

It will be broken if no one is going to solve the issue.
I’ll start a kernel bisection and file an upstream bug when we found the commits that causes the regression.

SUMMARY
=========
I have tried the above kernel and the graphics bug does _not_ happen.
Looking forward to testing another kernel.
I am not familiar with Linux kernels and command line package handling
(dpkg) but I can get by with 1) helpful suggestions and 2) looking at
man/info pages.
Also: I am very keen to help you track down this bug.
DETAILS
=======
These files were downloaded on my computer (turing):-
ian@turing:
total 57M
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 936K Nov 9 11:12
linux-firmware-
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 11M Nov 9 11:12
linux-headers-
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 46M Nov 9 11:12 linux-image-
Installed kernel on my Samsung NC10 Netbook (hawking) by copying the 3 debs
you provided and typing:-
dpkg -i *.deb
Modified my copy of /etc/default/grub to comment out this variable:-
#GRUB_GFXPAYLOA
Did: sudo update-grub
FIRST TEST
==========
Rebooted. Went into the GRUB sub-menu, "Advanced options for Ubuntu" .
Selected kernel 4.12.0 from the list.
It booted with no graphics problems at all.
Did uname -a. Got Linux hawking 4.12.0 # 3 SMP Thu 9 05:53:31 UTC 2017 i686
i686 i686 GNU/Linux
SECOND TEST
============
Rebooted. Went for kernel 4.14.0-
The graphics problem reoccurred.
THIRD TEST
==========
Did the first test again. No change - no graphics problem.
HTH,
Ian

No problem. These are the files I downloaded:-
total 58M
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 936K Nov 15 18:37
linux-firmware-
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 11M Nov 15 18:37
linux-headers-
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 46M Nov 15 18:37 linux-image-
To work out which kernel was being installed I did:-
dpkg-deb -c linux-image-
Looks like kernel '4.12' is being installed.
Booted system with kernel 4.12. The graphics problem did _not_ occur.
Did uname -a. Got:-
Linux hawking 4.12.0 #4 SMP Fri Nov 10 04:04:10 EST 2017 i686 i686 i686
GNU/Linux
IDEA. Given that setting the GRUB environment variable
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD
* That GRUB is doing something different with its handling of graphics
* That the Kernel's graphic driver is taking advantage of some graphics
mode setting that GRUB was doing before, but now no longer does?

This kernel hangs after displaying these two lines:-
Loading Linux 4.12-rc3 ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
The (recovery mode) of the above kernel hangs as well
It displays these lines OK
Loading Linux 4.12-rc3 ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
And then the kernel hangs, as before.

In the file /etc/default/grub I've commented out the line

Hello,
I just installed the latest (2018-1-20) kernel 4.15 build. The issue is finally fixed, atleast in my Asus Eee PC901 945GSE. Display works finally fine without extra grub parameters.
So most likely 4.15 release will be fine. The problem is/was real in 4.13-4.14...

I like how all others list this as "critical" or "high" priority, but Ubuntu is like "it's mostly 32-bit users, *bleep* 'em". Shows that they're dropping 32-bit support when they don't care about critical bugs.
The grub edit stuff works btw. Asus EeePC 1005HA here.
Pavel Petrovic (pavel-petrovic) wrote : | #92 |
Matti, it affects 64-bit as well.
It's a pity 4.15 is not yet in Ubuntu,
in fact even with the grub edit stuff, I need
to reboot the machine once after power-on
to get graphics X, and my CTRL key is broken,
so I can't boot without external keyboard
as I cannot even switch to a text console. :(

With my Ubuntu version 16.04 LTS i didn't have the problem, until recently!
I suspect with an update from kernel 4.10.x to 4.13.x
So I manually removed the kernel image and headers from version 4.13.x, thereby in fact downgrading again to the older kernel, fixing my problem.
So this confirms the statement above that kernel 4.13 is a problematic one.

Ubuntu keeps more than one kernel on the hard drive. It defaults to using
the most current one.
You can choose which Linux kernel to boot from by using the GRUB menu on
booting.
To do that, switch your computer on, and, as soon as you see the
manufacturer's logo (i.e. the BIOS screen), press and hold down the
right-hand SHIFT key.
You should then see a menu with a title at the top that reads like "GNU
GRUB version" (etc). This is where you can do quite a few things. Use the
down arrow key to select "Advanced Options for Ubuntu". This takes you to a
screen where you choose a kernel to boot or choose to boot a particular
kernel in"recovery mode".
The command "uname -a" gives info on the current running kernel.
The command "lsb_release -a" gives distro-specific info.
HTH,
Ian

Xubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Grub Version 2.02~beta2-
Easy Workaround: On boot hit F1 for Grub menu and hit enter (first entry for newest generic kernel). I did not change anything in the grub parameters (some people suggest 'text' parameter). Just starting from the menu seems to circumvent the problem.

Deal all,
I have encountered the same problem with an old MSI Wind U100 netbook (kernel 4.14.10-1 / not Ubuntu, sorry).
To start it, I just edited the grub settings at start-up: "set gfxoayload=text" (instead of keep). [enter in edition mode by "e", then "F10" after modification]
That worked: after that, I modified the /boot/grub.cfg file consequently.

confirming that on TOSHIBA Portege, the bug has disappeared after upgrade to 18.04 beta with kernel 4.15.0-13.
The line
GRUB_TERMINAL=
is not needed anymore and X starts OK, and the error message I mentioned above is not reported in the log.
I am getting an error message in dmesg though:
[ 24.576771] [drm:intel_
maybe because 1000 msec delay that is in the kernel source is not sufficient, who knows.
Also, lxrandr is unable to save and then next time properly load settings. I have read somewhere that it may be because the modes are somehow not properly reported during start.
Also, plugging the monitor to VGA requires restart before X is shown there, even though it is recognised after plugging in (i.e. with randr output)
And also, nothing is shown on the screen during grub booting, no menu, graphics screen, or whatever, but maybe that is to be expected, I do not know.

All kernels were downloaded from http://
The latest kernel offered by Ubuntu 18.04 is still 4.15.0, but that one already fixes the original issue with the X Windows not working, at least it does so on Toshiba Portege laptop. However 4.15.0 does not fix the issue reported in comment #108. I do not know what was fixed in 4.15.3, but it may refer to some other issues.
