@userunknown - I'd try using 'less /var/log/kern.log' after you've logged in to see if there are any clues to why there's such a long wait before the login screen.
I haven't experienced any random and total system freezes with the two Bay Trail CPU machines I've been testing and using, but can understand if you have that you'd not be keen to try without the 'cstate' parameter. As far as I can tell, there's not been much activity on the bug report that you linked to since April. The most recent posts are someone sending information about a non-Bay Trail processor (and it being discussed that it's a different bug that's affecting them), someone not getting the microcode update automatically in Manjaro and then a link or two to microcode updates. I'd be tempted to think that if you have the latest microcode updates (if 'dmesg | grep micro' says you've got revision 836) then it could be worth trying without the 'cstate fix' to see if it's still needed. (preferably not testing it when doing important work! ;) ) I don't know if the graphical issues are somehow linked to the 'cstate' usage, but it'd be good to rule it out. I've not had any graphical issues (using Ubuntu & KDE Plasma) or pre- login delays yet and assume @cmeerw would have mentioned it if it had occurred too. Is anyone else experiencing graphic flickering issues or long delays before the login screen when using the 4.15 kernel with the patch applied? -- 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/1774950 Title: Suspend fails in Ubuntu and Kubuntu 18.04 but works fine in Ubuntu and Kubuntu 17.10 (and on Kubuntu 18.04 using kernel 4.14.47) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have installed Kubuntu 18.04 on 3 different machines (my friend's and my own) with no suspend problems but my HP Pavilion 11 x360 does not suspend. It suspends fine with Ubuntu 17.10, Kubuntu 17.10, Devuan Jesse, Devuan ASCII and Windows 10 but fails with Ubuntu 18.04 and Kubuntu 18.04. I have also tried suspend using a live USB of 18.04 on this machine and it fails in the same way, so does not appear to be caused by any additional programs that I had installed. By installing an older kernel (4.14) on Kubuntu 18.04 the suspend function works as expected. Running Kubuntu 18.04 with kernels 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 results in the suspend failure that freezes the machine and requires a hard reset. Correct behaviour is - Screen goes blank, fan goes off, power LED flashes to show machine is in suspend. Pressing power button triggers 'resume' function. What happens - Screen goes blank, fan stays on, power LED stays on. Machine stays in this state and does not respond to any keyboard interaction, mouse movement or power button presses. Ctrl + Alt + f1 (or f2, f3, f4 etc) does not get any response. The only way to use the machine is to shut down by holding down the power button. Checking the logs suggests that the machine believes it is in suspend mode sleep [deep] when it isn't. Having to hard reset to get any response means that the kernel logs say no more than sleep [deep] pm-suspend also results in the same problems with kernels 4.15 and 4.16, but works fine with 4.14. It is curious that a machine that suspends fine on an earlier 4.14 kernel no longer works with 4.15 and above, whilst 3 other machines (including one with pretty similar hardware) do not exhibit this problem. There are only a handful of questions about it on the forums but at least 3 other people have the same problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029405/ubuntu-18-04-crashes-on- resuming-from-suspend https://askubuntu.com/questions/1041369/after-upgrading- from-17-10-ubuntu-18-04-wont-sleep-suspend I am attempting to round up anyone else with the same issue and point them to this bug report.
