Yesterday I tried to install Fed30 beta-1.7 on a Dell Precision
5530.
(late 2018 model, i5-8300H & UHD graphics 630, came with Ubuntu 18.04
and had Fed29 installed and working without problems)
Almost immediately after the first few lines of the startup messages
the screen went black and nothing further happened. Could not get any
info in this state (Ctrl-Alt-Fn not working) and had to use long press
of power button to quit.
Today I booted Fed29 on this laptop and there were updates waiting.
Updated and restarted and to my surprise the same thing happened as
when trying to install Fed30 beta. After the Dell logo when you
would expect the gdm screen the screen went black and stayed that way.
The updates included the 5.03 kernel. I could now of course activate
the grub menu and boot with the old 4.20.16 kernel and look with
journalctl in the previous boot journal. There seem to be some things
going on with hibernate and suspend that should not happen and maybe
some other irregularities. Should I file a bug report for Fed30 or
for the kernel and what info should I attach.
It certainly sounds like a kernel bug. Can you file a report against
the kernel package with the full journal output for an affected boot?
Thanks!
