Alkis, could you double-check if your setup is fine now with the current 4.15 kernel and mesa from proposed? Mine is, but I'd rather not rely on that test alone.

Downgrading mesa fixes the problem. lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 [8086:1912] (rev 06) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. HD Graphics 530 [1043:8694] Kernel modules: i915 Unfortunately I can't find a lot of useful information, here are some bits: * systemctl --failed says "gpu-manager" and "lightdm" have failed * Xorg.log is clean: https://termbin.com/6l2b * dmesg too: https://termbin.com/ip4e * It happens on lightdm/MATE, I don't know about Ubuntu GNOME. * If one runs `xinit` from ssh, it fails with: i965: Failed to submit batchbuffer: Invalid argument This is caused by mesa assuming that soft-pinning on GEN8+ is working since kernel 4.5, but in fact this issue wasn't fixed until 4.19.3. So a proper fix would be to backport commits from 4.19.3/4.20 to fix GTT sizes/pin flags, but that's left for future. [Test case] install fixed mesa or kernel, check that the regression is fixed [Regression potential] mesa: shouldn't be any, it just reverts the change to always soft-pin (TODO kernel: adds commits from upstream stable, which have been well tested upstream by now) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mesa/+bug/1815172/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
