I just had the issue appear LIVE, while the system was already running for more than 20 minutes (with "amdgpu" drivers and multi-monitor support).
Connection to external monitors "dropped" and fortunately the system switched to internal display (which does not always happen, sometimes everything goes blank / crashes), so I could capture a "dmesg". ** Attachment added: "dmesg-2020-10-18.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntubudgie/+bug/1899336/+attachment/5423680/+files/dmesg-2020-10-18.txt -- 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/1899336 Title: Thinkpad T14s (AMD) external monitors on docking station no longer detected Status in Ubuntu Budgie: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I run Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 on my Lenovo ThinkPad T14s with Ryzen 4750U processor together with the "Lenovo ThinkPad USB-C Dock (Gen 2)" (40AS0090EU). The docking station is connected via USB-C to the system, supplies it with power via USB Power Delivery and provides USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s) connectivity (including an Ethernet controller and audio codec running over the USB data path), as well as support for two monitors via "DisplayPort alternate mode" of USB-C, so technically it will configure the four high-speed lanes of USB-C as one lane for SuperSpeed+ RX, one lane for SuperSpeed+ TX, and two lanes for DisplayPort 1.4, the latter of which the docking station will then demultiplex onto two full-size DisplayPort connectors like an MST hub. So far, external monitors have worked fine most of the time. However, for a couple of days now, I cannot get the system to detect the external monitors connected to my docking station anymore. The "BIOS" (EFI) boot screen (with the Lenovo logo) still shows up on the external monitors. However, both the LUKS/dm-crypt pre-boot- authentication screen (since I use full-disk-encryption) and also the desktop after login show up on the internal display, even with the laptop connected to the docking station, so it appears like the kernel no longer detects the monitors connecting via "DisplayPort alternate mode". Yesterday, I could get the monitors to show up by disconnecting the laptop from the docking station and reconnecting it again. Today, not even this appears to work. Sometimes the external monitors are detected (and shown as "enabled") in the display settings of Budgie, sometimes they do not even show up. Even when they show up and are enabled, nothing is displayed on them. The monitors say they do not receive a signal and I should check the connection. Unplugging and replugging the cables from the docking station to the monitors does not change anything. Audio, Ethernet and USB runs fine over the docking station, just DisplayPort does not. This is obviously very bad, since I now have to work on the internal display even with the laptop docked. I have the "amdgpu.exp_hw_support=1" in my kernel arguments (*) and the Ryzen 4000 GPU appears to be recognized. $ lspci -k 06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Renoir (rev d1) Subsystem: Lenovo Renoir Kernel driver in use: amdgpu Kernel modules: amdgpu $ (*) When I installed Ubuntu Budgie 20.04, I needed to add this in order to extend my desktop over the two external monitors. Without this argument, the system only showed a single display in the settings, the same content was displayed on all connected monitors (mirrored) and there was no way to change that. I have attached parts of "dmesg" output which I deem relevant. $ uname -a Linux thinkpad-t14s 5.4.0-48-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 10 10:58:49 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.9 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: Budgie:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-07-27 (75 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Budgie 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) MachineType: LENOVO 20UH001AGE Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 amdgpudrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-5.4.0-48-generic root=UUID=5b605ccb-8a29-46ee-b571-e0d61a323457 ro quiet splash amdgpu.exp_hw_support=1 vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-48.52-generic 5.4.60 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-5.4.0-48-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-5.4.0-48-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.187.3 Tags: focal Uname: Linux 5.4.0-48-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm audio cdrom dip lpadmin lxd plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 06/11/2020 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: R1CET36W(1.05 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 20UH001AGE dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Defined dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: None dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrR1CET36W(1.05):bd06/11/2020:svnLENOVO:pn20UH001AGE:pvrThinkPadT14sGen1:rvnLENOVO:rn20UH001AGE:rvrNotDefined:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNone: dmi.product.family: ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 dmi.product.name: 20UH001AGE dmi.product.sku: LENOVO_MT_20UH_BU_Think_FM_ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntubudgie/+bug/1899336/+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
