Transitioning from Manjaro to Ubuntu #Fix_Available
I had been experiencing some issues with Manjaro, so I finally decided to switch to Ubuntu. Two days ago, I installed Ubuntu 24.04. During the system update and graphic driver installation, within less than an hour of using the device, I noticed that the screen was flickering and disappearing when I moved the mouse. Initially, I thought I had broken the system (haha). After several attempts to fix it, tracing my steps, and uninstalling the latest packages that might have caused the problem, I finally reinstalled the system again.
To my dismay, after installing the new system and even before starting to update it, the flickering returned. Damn. I’m just venting a bit, don’t mind me; I had a really bad day.
In the end, I can confirm that adding these parameters to GRUB resolved the issue for me, perhaps at the cost of a bit of heat, but it’s a good workaround until the bug is fixed:
[ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.enable_dc=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=2" ]
Steps to Add Parameters to GRUB
- Open GRUB configuration file for editing:
[ sudo nano /etc/default/grub ]
- Modify the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line:
[ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.enable_dc=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=2"]
- Update GRUB configuration:
[ sudo update-grub ]
