[Bug 1509556] Re: Kubuntu Wily upgrade screen glitch with 4.2 kernel

 

Bryan Cebuliak, the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.19
to 4.2 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed
immediately by the first bad one. This will allow for a more expedited
analysis of the root cause of your issue. Could you please do this
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit
bisecting.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Kubuntu Wily upgrade screen glitch with  4.2 kernel

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On  recent  update   from  15.04   to  15.10, the new  4.2  kernel  is  associated   with    graphics  instability after  a  few  seconds of   GUI  use   with  mouse   and   keyboard making  the  GUI  unusable.  See  another  person's  same  experience   with  intel   graphics   here:  
  askubuntu.com/questions/688649/kubuntu-wily-upgrade-screen-glitch

  Downgrading  to the  last   15.04    kernel   solves  my  issue.
   
  See  result  of   ubuntu-bug linux   from  the  terminal attached.
