I have a very strange issue here. I updated my machine's kernel to 4.15.0-44
. After a restart the whole machine was messed up. Some more digging around I managed to disable my graphical X server permanently in systemd.
After this, I was able to start my machine both with 4.15.0-43
and 4.15.0-44
. In the -43
version I can still start the graphical interface manually and after reenabling it, can use it again.
The -44
version is of another type. The machine starts regularly up to the point, where the graphical interface would appear (rough guess). The monitor gets black (normal) to change the screen resolution.
Unfortunately, the monitor never comes back to life. Nothing useful is displayed anymore and my input devices are non-functional. I cannot change to any tty not change the state of the Num-Lock-LED on the keyboard.
Using MagicSysRq I can at least reobtain control over my Num-Lock-LED, but this is all. I have to restart the machine in a hard manner.
Reinstalling the Linux packages seems to have not solved any problem.
For nor I use the -43
version of Linux, but I am curious if this will be solved soon or what I can to to track this down further.
