Public bug reported: Customer using Lenovo P50 (Skylake) and Surface Book (Skylake) laptops tried to start unity in a guest VM on Hyper-V. Kernel 4.4.0-31 started as expected, Hyper-V drivers loaded as expected including the framebuffer driver, plenty of memory and vCPUs allocated, but x.org fails with xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted), resulting in "no screens found".
However, when customer used KDE (kubuntu 16.04 with similar kernel) on these same systems got a UI as expected. Customer also has no issues on non-skylake laptop. No unexpected messages seen in dmesg and syslog. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1605798 Title: Unity + Skylake + Hyper-V xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1605798/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
