Update: I did a full 17.10 reinstall as last attempt. I can confirm the following symptoms: - When both 4k displays are connected to the docking (displayport MST), UI login screen is already hanging (see earlier screenshot) - When 1 x 4K display is connected it works. When connecting 2nd display after login (using Wayland), the UI is completely hanging
** Summary changed: - Dual 4K monitor via Displayport MST not working (Lenovo Ultra Dock) + UI login invisible / UI hanging when Dual 4K monitor via Displayport MST is connected (Lenovo Ultra Dock) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725455 Title: UI login invisible / UI hanging when Dual 4K monitor via Displayport MST is connected (Lenovo Ultra Dock) Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am experiencing serious issues after upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10 (coming from 17.04 with Gnome, kernel 4.13). I have 2 x 4K (Asus PB279Q) monitors, connected to a Lenovo Ultra Dock (containing 2 x Displayport via MST), where the Lenovo T550 is connected onto it. Both monitors were working perfectly fine at 30Hz simultaneously in an extended desktop, 4K resolution in my old setup with Gnome for over half a year (since kernel 4.10 blink issues on 4K were solved, i used this setup since then). However after upgrading to 17.10 using the new Gnome interface: When the laptop is connected to the Lenovo Ultra Dock (to work on both monitors), the system is hanging and becoming unresponsive. The mouse pointer is freezing and the only way is to do a hard-reboot. I have checked the monitor settings, it's displayed at 60Hz when active, and it appears I am never able to use both monitors simultaneously. When I get 1 monitor working (disconnecting the 2nd monitor from the MST port), after rebooting it works fine. I tried to put settings of the 4K manually on 30Hz, reconnecting, but the system hangs again. I have tried several combinations. It results in a blank (purple) screen and hanging mouse (see attachment). I tried also with the installation-iso to run a fresh 17.10 and tried the same, the symptoms are similar. I suspect that must be an issue with the Displayport MST on dual 4K setups in the new 17.10. When I connect 1 x 4K monitor to the rear displayport of the Lenovo Ultra Dock (there are 2 for MST on the rear, so I disconnected the other) *and* when I connect the other 4K monitor on the separate displayport of the T550 itself instead, it works 100% fine! Shortly: based on my knowledge that must definitely be some issue with the MST displayport functionality itself, that is unable to recognize/identify both 4K monitors when connected to the dock's both displayport connections?
