I am not sure how the ASPEED AST driver is maintained in Ubuntu and Linux in general but ASPEED has stated that they recommend using their DRM driver version 1.12 for 5.8 or newer kernels in order "to avoid conflict from multi kernel thread". I have not tried this as it was not clear if the DRM driver directly from APSEED would be compatible with Ubuntu.
Here is some additional info from one of the systems: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Release: 20.04 $ uname -a Linux demo-remote2 5.8.0-49-generic #55~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 26 01:01:07 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1924583 Title: ASPEED AST driver seems unstable in 20.04.2 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1924583/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
