Public bug reported: After upgrading to 5.8.0-49, on a laprtop with intel graphics, graphics was suddenly extremely glitchy. Icons from the desktop flash through the browser, windows top bar gets distorted, all sort of glitches appear, parts of characters are missing in terminal, scrolling is inconsistent and the whole desktop becomes unusable. Under wayland the graphics are a bit more stable, but lots of glitches appear anyway, video reproduction in browser is stuttering and wobbly. Booting with previous kernel 5.8.0-48 seems to fix the issues. 5.8.0-50 is broken as well.
this is the result of 'sudo lshw -c video' on my hp Elitebook 8470: *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 2 bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0 version: 09 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 resources: irq:33 memory:d4000000-d43fffff memory:c0000000-cfffffff ioport:4000(size=64) memory:c0000-dffff ** Affects: linux-meta-hwe-5.8 (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/1924624 Title: after upgrade to 5.8.0-49 with intel graphics a lot of glitches render screen unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.8/+bug/1924624/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
