Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

Hi,

every time I try to update Arch from my current Kernel 4.3.3-2-ARCH to 4.4 or above my X11 server terminates on startup.
It's most probably related to the kernel since when I downgrade the kernel package everything works again.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Either switch to the LTS kernel or perform a git bisect to identify the commit that caused the issue and fix it for everybody.

EDIT: Bonus points if you provide a diff that corrects the problem big_smile

EDIT2: the Xorg log file seems to suggest that the drivers are not loaded ("no screens found"), btw

Re: Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

Works dandy on my machine.  I note from this

[    78.336] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=a1ecfa99-9a47-46c0-879f-e16dbd3bbf8d rw quiet

that you have not installed and configured the Intel microcode updates.   I'd put my money on that being your problem.

Edit -- Actually Head on a Stick beat me with what is the more likely issue.

Re: Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

I tried installing the LTS kernel and also enabled microcode updates as suggested.
Unfortunately I'm still getting the same error.

I can't really explain why, I installed all available drivers for intel as suggested in the documentation.
And the setup only seems to work with my currently installed kernel (breaks on LTS and 4.4).

Can I also do that with arch-chroot?
X11 doesn't really crash but hangs and prevents you from switching to a different console.
Otherwise I'll have to disable X11 autostart and risk breaking it on my working configuration too.

EDIT:
I am certain that I was running linux-lts because I removed the linux package after installing it and then reconfigured grub.

Re: Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

If you are doing all this from chroot I hope you are not forgetting to mount your /boot.

I don't know if uname works properly under chroot, sorry.

Yes I reverted back to my working installation, booted it and then replaced linux with linux-lts.
uname -a does not seem to work in the arch-chroot, I get the ISO linux kernel.

Re: Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

Seams like related to my problem. I'm on a laptop with Intel/Nvidia card.
The latest full system update break (delete) my xorg.conf file containing setup for default card and screen.
After launching startx command, got modesetting error with no screen, so...

I have created a new xorg.conf like this :

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "intel"
    Inactive "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Device "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "Yes"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "intel"
    Driver "modesetting"
    BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
    Option "AccelMethod"  "sna"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "intel"
    Device "intel"
EndSection

and everything was back to normal
Don't know if it can help you too?

Re: Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

Hi. I'm not a very advanced user. I think I'm experiencing this problem too, and I need someone to walk me through how to solve this. I get two lines of ouput after the dell logo when booting and then my screen goes blank. Unfortunately, I have the boot loader set not to wait (I only have one OS and I wanted it to boot quickly, but I'm feeling stupid for that now). So I don't know how to access anything to make changes. Can someone tell me how I can boot without starting X so I can try the above suggestions? Thanks.

Which boot{loader,manager} are you using?

For systemd-boot, holding down any key during the bootup will show the menu and allow you to add "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" or "systemd.unit=rescue.target" as a kernel parameter.

For GRUB, I think you have to hold down the shift key.

Re: Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

Thanks. I'm using systemd-boot. I got to the menu, pressed 'e', and added systemd.unit=rescue.target to the end of the line. It still just blacked out after I pressed enter.

Re: Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

Use the Arch live ISO and `arch-chroot` into your system then either install and configure the LTS kernel (didn't work for the OP) or downgrade the vanilla kernel package.

Re: Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

My Intel card does work fine on 4.4, but I have noticed the following error while booting:

[    8.503437] [drm:intel_dp_link_training_channel_equalization [i915]] *ERROR* failed to update link training

I think this bug report is related: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93578

Obviously, my error is tied to having an external monitor connected (which I have), but just thought I'd bring it up here. It could be the issues are completely unrelated.

Thanks. Downgrading to 4.3.3-3 worked. LTS also boots fine, but I get the flickering issue back in gdm (see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=196888).

Re: Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

Same here.
I don't downgraded. I installed linux-lts and linked it on fallback boot option, was my best (only) choice until today, but I'm happy.

Cheers.

The lts kernel is now 4.4, which is unusable due to this issue. So, I can't update either one.

Re: Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

I was running on LTS with video fine until an update today. Now I have no video on HDMI (it's a HTPC, I don't know if VGA works). Switching to current does not appear to help, although the follow message that showed up after the latest LTS update has disappeared from current.

[drm:intel_opregion_init [i915]] *ERROR* No ACPI video bus found

Re: Linux 4.4 breaks X11 on integrated graphics (intel)

How is it possible for this bug to continue so long? Now the latest of both linux and linux-lts are unusable. Thankfully I still have the 4.3.3-3 linux in my cache (the last version that works). What would I do if I were installing arch fresh today on my laptop?

return the intel laptop to the shop ?


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
