[Bug 585651] Re: [LUCID] Cannot install on eDP laptops such as HP Elitebook 2540p or 8440p

 

Jim Gettys, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. 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:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

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

Title:
  [LUCID] Cannot install on eDP laptops such as HP Elitebook 2540p or
  8440p

Status in X.org xf86-video-intel:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” package in openSUSE:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

  On attempted boot of a LiveCD image of 10.04 release for initial
  installation, the laptop screen goes dark, you hear the disk drive run
  for a long time, you hear even the cheery ubuntu sound.  But no video.

  If you have an external monitor plugged in, you even get the X
  background and cursor on the external screen; but the internal stays
  dark.

  This may (or may not) be the same as launchpad bug #554569, which is
  very similar hardware from IBM and very similar symptoms; but is
  related to the use of an embedded DP panel.

  The bug is being worked upstream on fdo at 
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28070
  [Arrandale] No output (black) on eDP

  Attached are the dmesg output and rom contents provided upstream.
