After various hotplug fixes and rework that are landing on 3.11 this bug isn't reproducible with new kernels and production machines. One thing it is worthful to try it the Takashi fix:
"In i915_drm_freeze(), dev_priv->enable_hotplug_processing must be set to false before calling intel_modeset_disable(). (And better to cancel the pending, too.) Otherwise you'll get spurious hotplug events" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1194934 Title: eDP powered off while attempting aux channel communication Status in intel: New Status in The Linux Kernel: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: May 22 07:20:11 ubuntu-desktop kernel: [ 3687.835743] ------------[ cut here ]------------ May 22 07:20:11 ubuntu-desktop kernel: [ 3687.835747] WARNING: at /var/lib/dkms/intel-i915-backport-3.8-dkms/3.8.6.0/build/intel_dp.c:326 intel_dp_check_edp+0x6d/0xc0 [i915]() May 22 07:20:11 ubuntu-desktop kernel: [ 3687.835748] Hardware name: May 22 07:20:11 ubuntu-desktop kernel: [ 3687.835748] eDP powered off while attempting aux channel communication.
