I report my strange experience with flickering. I had the problem as described on Dell Inspiron 1764/Ubuntu 20.04 with 50% of occurence at boot with the screen flickering indefinitely, Linux version 5.15.0-60-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-017). I suspected HW but nevertheless tried GRUB configuration modification with no success.
I installed Ubuntu 22.04 and now I have the flicker just during 30seconds of boot. The kernel is the same only the build is different, Linux version 5.15.0-60-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-054). Perhaps the build may modify some timings during the boot. -- 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/1958191 Title: [i915] Screen flickering in Ubuntu 22.04 (until i915.enable_dc=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=2 are added) (fixed in 5.17.7 and later) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Ubuntu 22.04 development branch on kernel 5.15.0-17-generic @ 18/1/2022 Booting into desktop gets heavy screen flickering and disforming (unusable) both booting on xorg and wayland on kernel 5.13 it did not occur so heavy (only little glitches once in a while see bug 1948778) adding the kernel paramater intel_idle.max_cstate=4 fixed this i had these same bugs on this machine before: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe/+bug/1838644 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1948778 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: linux-image-5.15.0-17-generic 5.15.0-17.17 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-17.17-generic 5.15.12 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-17-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu75 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: lotuspsychje 1201 F.... pipewire-media- lotuspsychje 1207 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/seq: lotuspsychje 1193 F.... pipewire CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Jan 18 04:22:00 2022 Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 004: ID 8087:0025 Intel Corp.
