Glad that this (4.19 in your case) works for you, too.

Good idea in general. But where? Seems that this is Intels' thing again and 
their list of open bugs is already extensive :(

Check youor mesages and look for EDC asset. There is a fix teed up which
may help your case.

 I have seen this "EDC assert" issue with 8265 [1] and the fix is given
in comment #42.  I have tested it on kernel 5.2-rc7 and works fine.
This impacts all pre-9000 intel wifi cards.

This will NOT make it into 5.2, as Emmanual G points out, as its late in
the cycle; presumably will be in 5.2.1 and 5.3.

A work around you might try is to add this iwlwifi option - then reboot.

# cat >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
options iwlwifi swcrypto=1

gene

Not only GPUs, but also WiFi cards. Got 8265 on Thinkpad T480 and 5G
speeds are awful. When you're trying to download via 5G network
something big - connection interrupts and won't come back until
NetworkManager is restarted, also there are plenty of errors in dmesg.
All fine on 5.0.x and LTS kernel (4.19.x), only 5.1.x are affected.

I rebooted into linux-lts (4.19.56-1-lts) and everything works.
I guess I'll stick with that for the time being. This is exciting - I never 
actually needed my fallback LTS bootloader entry before! :D

Should I open a bug?

That was me. Try the following: set the boot Display to HDMI in the bios / 
Uefi. If it shows stuff (Lenovo logo or bios menu if invoked) it’s not the 
hardware.

For me the issue fixed itself after a day without explanation.

Regarding kernel versions: I also had noticed instabilities (more errors than 
usual in dmesg from drm and i915, weird GL/compositing glitches) on my HD4400 
Intel with one external monitor and laptop display starting with 5.1.x. 

I've so far remained on 5.0.3 and have not debugged in depth due to a lack of 
time, but the issues definitely started after 5.0.3.

There are *some* issues with intel gpu's and recent kernels. I can't use
multiple monitors in most of the cases as the i915 module misinterpret
possible resolutions, for example.
Also, I remember some issue with external monitors on this list not long 
ago: 
https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2019-June/046539.html 
Even if the OP suspected a faulty HDMI port, this might still be related.

Thanks guys. The wiki doesn't list my exact issue, so I'll try booting

[arch-general] External monitors are no longer detected (Intel graphics)

2019-07-02 Thread Bennett Piater

Hi,
I'm using a Thinkpad T450s with Intel graphics.

Yesterday, I could no longer connect external monitors via miniDP.
They were not detected at all, either by xrandr in i3 or by sway 
(wayland).
I didn't have time to dig out a VGA cable and try that, so I cannot rule 
out physical damage yet - I did try 2 monitors with different cables, 
both of which work with my wife's Thinkpad.


Since wayland doesn't make a difference, I'm thinking maybe something 
broke with the (my?) drivers?
Is there any other possibility apart from physical damage, and what do I 
try next?


Cheers,
Bennett
