[Bug 1452858] Re: Screen lit off on iMac 12, 2 after a while

 

Étienne BERSAC, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from
the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are
irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder)
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Title:
  Screen lit off on iMac 12,2 after a while

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I'm running Ubuntu on an iMac 12,2 since november 2012. From time to
  time and more and more frequently the screen lit off. The only way i
  can get it on is to suspend/resume. But then, it lit off soon. I
  suspect some heating. Actually, the output of the cooling system is
  way hotter with Ubuntu than Mac OS X.

  So i would like to switch to the IGD card rather than the discrete
  one. But there is no vga_switcheroo.

  How to debug screen lit off ? How to detect screen heating ? How to
  disable discrete card ? Is it kernel ? Xorg ? Where to search ?

  Regards,
  Étienne
