Title:
power loss with kernels newer than 4.1 in Ubuntu 16.04
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I am using Ubuntu 16.04 with KDE Neon User Edition on a Lenovo T510.
The screen blinks periodically. I describe it as a blink because it
seems to switch off and right back on very quickly, as if I had just
blinked by eyes. At seemingly random times, the screen will go black
except for a tiny sliver of orange or yellow along the left edge, then
the machine loses power.
I have searched the logs and it seems that all logging just stops
before the power outage without actually logging anything useful.
This problem began shortly after I migrated from Kubuntu 14.04, so I
installed a 3.13.0 kernel from the Ubuntu 14.04 repository and the
problem went away. I then tried a 4.1.38 kernel from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline. The 4.1 kernel is also
problem free and the most recent kernel I can run without the power
outages.
However, all of these kernels have the power outage issue:
Name Version Source
------------------------------------ ----------------------------
-----------------
linux-image-generic 4.4.0.78.84 16.04
repository
linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 4.8.0.52.23 16.04
repository
linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04-edge 4.10.0.21.14 16.04
repository
linux-image-4.11.0-041100rc8-generic 4.11.0-041100rc8.201704232131
kernel.ubuntu.com
These kernels are fine:
Name Version Source
------------------------------------ ----------------------------
-----------------
linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic 3.13.0-24.47 14.04
repository
linux-image-4.1.38-040138-generic 4.1.38-040138.201701181632
kernel.ubuntu.com
So, it seems the problem originated sometime between versions 4.1.38
and 4.4.0.
