Hi there, I had the same issue with Ubuntu 22.04, where I really could not fix it. Recently I did a fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04 with the big hope of getting rid of this annoying flickering issue. However, no, it did persist and even in most worse form.
I did follow few threads on this and did the proposed fix ``` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.enable_dc=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=2" sudo update-grub sudo reboot ``` It did make it bit better instantly, however did not fix it completely. here is my computer info: ``` uname -a Linux ThinkPad-L13-Yoga-Gen-4 6.8.0-1014-oem #14-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Oct 9 13:16:31 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ``` I wonder if there is any other better fix for this problem? regards, -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-hwe-6.8 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 Status in linux-hwe-5.19 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-hwe-6.2 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-hwe-6.5 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-hwe-6.8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Lunar: Won't Fix Status in linux-hwe-5.19 source package in Lunar: Invalid Status in linux-hwe-6.2 source package in Lunar: Invalid Status in linux-hwe-6.5 source package in Lunar: Won't Fix 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 parameter i915.enable_dc=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=2 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.
