Thanks for your follow up Christopher $ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date X200MA.504 11/13/2014
The advanced side of LP#1416849 is that the identification of the kernel working and new not working is done there. (thanks to exercises made on kernel-fixed-upstream tags side) I'm not sure why you want to work on 3 bugs thread for same issue? And also I don't understand why you don't confirm that bug? There is indeed more that one person affected isn't? Installing a fresh image of a LTS 14.04.2 is installing 3.16 kernel base and that "LTS 14.04.2 3.16" is working. no black/white screen issue. The laptop having issue reported in this thread (and other thread) are installed from LTS 14.04.2 having kernel (point release? ) stuck to 3.13 doing an apt-get update & disp-upgrade don't update that laptop from 3.13 to 3.16. I believe the solution for my issue is to found the best way to upgrade my laptop(s) from 3.13 to 3.16 while staying on a real LTS 14.02.x release. doing: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-lts-utopic libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic libegl1-mesa-drivers-lts-utopic from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack resolve the situation since it move to GNU/Linux Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty Linux Lux1-Ops-LiloXX 3.16.0-36-generic #48~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 15 13:11:28 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 But I'm not sure it is what I want/ the best option. So, so far for me, Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS installed prior to 3.13.0-44 are working, the problem appeared with 3.13.0-45 update of that Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS and new installation of Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS is based on 3.16.x that is working. I was not aware of such variation between same LTS regarding point release. Maybe I need to understand how to move a distribution from one point release to the next one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446504 Title: Asus X200MA Black Screen after LTS Update (3.13.0-49-generic) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1427646 Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release: 14.04 cat /proc/version_signature := Ubuntu 3.13.0-49.83-generic 3.13.11-ckt17 Linux Lux1-Ops-LiloXX 3.13.0-49-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 10 20:11:33 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-49-generic 3.13.0-49.83 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-49.83-generic 3.13.11-ckt17 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-49-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.10 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: Error: command ['fuser', '-v', '/dev/snd/by-path', '/dev/snd/controlC0', '/dev/snd/hwC0D0', '/dev/snd/hwC0D2', '/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c', '/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p', '/dev/snd/pcmC0D3p', '/dev/snd/seq', '/dev/snd/timer'] failed with exit code 1: Date: Tue Apr 21 09:45:44 2015 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=8cfe631b-97f1-4da1-b1b2-15675c32779e InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-01-19 (91 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc.
