Usually once every few hours.) Please advise how I can help triage / test. My system is a new install now, so I'm perfectly willing to modify / reinstall to help testing (I've reinstalled 5 times to test things, but never managed to find a solution) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+19ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.18.0-13.14-generic 4.18.17 Uname: Linux 4.18.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu13.1 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/boot.log' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Sat Jan 26 14:19:52 2019 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: cosmic DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: No GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display [8086:0f31] (rev 0e) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display [103c:227a] InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-01-18 (8 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" - Release amd64 (20181017.2) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion 14 Notebook PC ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-13-generic root=UUID=2c4bf3d1-1ff2-4345-95c0-c68d0e073df9 ro nogpumanager modprobe.blacklist=nouveau,nvidiafb,nvidia-modeset,nvidia-uvm,nvidia intel_iommu=igfx_off i915.semaphores=1 i915.enable_fbc=0 i915.modeset=1 i915.enable_rc=7 i915.enable_dc=2 i915.enable_ppgtt=3 i915.enable_guc_loading=1 i915.lvds_channel_mode=2 i915.lvds_use_ssc=1 quiet splash vt.handoff=1 SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 03/18/2015 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde dmi.bios.version: F.42 dmi.board.asset.tag: Type2 - Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: 227A dmi.board.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.board.version: 76.35 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Chassis Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsyde:bvrF.42:bd03/18/2015:svnHewlett-Packard:pnHPPavilion14NotebookPC:pvr096C110800405F10000620180:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn227A:rvr76.35:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct10:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.family: 103C_5335KV G=N L=CON B=HP S=PAV X=Null dmi.product.name: HP Pavilion 14 Notebook PC dmi.product.sku: J9L01UA#ABL dmi.product.version: 096C110800405F10000620180 dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard version.compiz: compiz N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.95-1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 18.2.2-0ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 18.2.2-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.20.1-3ubuntu2.1 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev N/A version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:18.1.0-1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20171229-1ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.15-3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1813423/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
