summary: - AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU
+ [HP Pavilion 15] Intermittent black screens with Crimson 15.12 driver
tags: added: needs-apport-
The above information is not correct, the bug is in AMDGPU, not the crimson driver.
The submitter writes "I updated to Kubuntu 16.04 (from Kubuntu 15.10 - that was using the Linux Crimson 15.12 driver) a couple days ago on my notebook (HP Pavilion, A10-8700P APU), and ever since I've been having random black screens."
He is saying he updated from 15.10 that was using the Crimson driver (which works and is the only available option for a working display at the moment), to 16.04, where the Crimson driver support was removed and AMDGPU is the only option. And that is when the black screens started happening for me also, and i had to downgrade to 15.10 and back to using the crimson driver.
My full computer model is: HP Pavilion 15-ab114no 15,6"
