[Bug 1599952] Re: Blurred images with kernels after 4.2.x
Kernel 4.4.21 LTS The above-referenced kernel was released today. It may (might) resolve the regression I have experienced that keeps me from using Ubuntu 16.04.1 (believed to be an i915 driver issue). To find out I need to try the kernel in Ubuntu. If I install from an .iso (16.04.1) and select the option to check for updates while installing, will I end up with the new kernel installed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1599952 Title: Blurred images with kernels after 4.2.x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1599952/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 1599952] Re: Blurred images with kernels after 4.2.x
You don't say whether there is any reason to believe there might have been a change to address the regression that affects my system. Even so, I will try to get to the store tomorrow and try the new kernel, as you suggest, as soon as I can - maybe tomorrow evening. If it works for me Iĺl let you know, and if it doesn't I'll send you a screenshot before going back to Mint. RD On 08/29/2016 09:26 AM, Christopher M.

[Bug 1599952] Re: Blurred images with kernels after 4.2.x
Christopher: I have surveyed the pages you reference about how to perform bisects, and determined 1) that I cannot invest the time required and 2) I do not possess the technical ability required. My shortcomings are exacerbated by the fact that to perform the series of tests needed I must have the regressed Ubuntu distro with the impaired display running on my machine, an impracticality at this time in light of my ongoing need to have access to a working and reliable machine. I know there are ways around this, like having multiple partitions for testing distros, or using live or virtual environments for testing, but these are beyond my technical ability and time constraints at this time. I know this only hurts me, because eventually I will have to upgrade my hardware when the distros I'm now using are updated to newer kernels, but there is nothing I can do about that at this time. I suspect it is unlikely that someone else will fix this other than me, but as already stated I cannot do any more at this time. I cannot document it in the terms you require, but I am still fairly sure that all the 4.2.x series worked on my hardware, and none after. Thanks again for your interest.

[Bug 1599952] Re: Blurred images with kernels after 4.2.x
RD, the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 4.2 to 4.4 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed immediately by the first bad one. This will allow for a more expedited analysis of the root cause of your issue. Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ? Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit bisecting. Also, the kernel release names are irrelevant for the purposes of bisecting. After the offending commit (not kernel version) has been identified, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.
