Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. I'm sorry that it took almost five years for someone to acknowledge your comment.
Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021. As this bug report was never confirmed by another user and seems to have been fixed by a change to the system hardware I'm closing this by changing the status to 'Invalid'. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716184 Title: failure of xrandr to find any outputs Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I have a very new Lenovo X1 Yoga 2nd edition, with oled display. The exact model is 20JECTO1WW. The BIOS is N1NET27W. I am running a vanilla Ubuntu 16.04 lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial uname -a Linux gjs-yoga 4.11.0-14-generic #20~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 9 09:06:22 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Until recently things worked quite well. But on August 26 I got an update from Ubuntu and things began to decay. In particular, I can no longer display except on the built-in display: For example, xrandr cannot find any outputs, even though this laptop has a (working) HDMI output port. xrandr --verbose xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 2560 x 1440, current 2560 x 1440, maximum 2560 x 1440 default connected primary 2560x1440+0+0 (0x272) normal (normal) 0mm x 0mm Identifier: 0x271 Timestamp: 33974 Subpixel: unknown Clones: CRTC: 0 CRTCs: 0 Transform: 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 filter: _GNOME_FLASHBACK_PRESENTATION_OUTPUT: 0 2560x1440 (0x272) 342.835MHz *current h: width 2560 start 0 end 0 total 2560 skew 0 clock 133.92KHz v: height 1440 start 0 end 0 total 1440 clock 93.00Hz Notice there are no (even disconnected) outputs other than default. Another symptom is that system restart always turns off the power rather than rebooting. I looked at the manifest of the update that seems to have caused trouble and the only suspicious entry is a microcode update from Intel. Here is the entry from the apt history log: Start-Date: 2017-08-26 17:54:05 Commandline: aptdaemon role='role-commit-packages' sender=':1.87' Upgrade: intel-microcode:amd64 (3.20151106.1, 3.20170707.1~ubuntu16.04.0), I hope that someone knows what is the problem here. I am stumped.
