Kernel 5.11 Feedback Thread

dostana

Gentlemen, Upgrade to 5.11 is unsuccessful. Laptop failed to boot getting blank screen. Set-kernel back to 5.10 reboot laptop. If any guidance let us know. Thanks

The only thing I noticed is that my graphic card is running hotter. From 36c idle now 46-48c.
I don't if it has to do with the update but that could be the case. Thanks

All good here. RX 580 and Ivy Bridge i7.

did something change with schedutil? it behaves like ondemand now, both in terms of temepratures and frequencies. it never goes below 3.9 ghz now for the highest freq core

no biggie, but definite change

Everything working perfectly.Dell optiplex 390.Thank you.

Everything worked fine here, for about 10 machines and spare SSDs updated. Eopkg only needed to be restarted once, and it's possible that was just because I misjudged how long it would take for one of the upgrades. If I'd been more patient, the score might have been 100%.

No complaints on this end either. Update went flawless, as usual, on my Intel NUC.

🙂 Kernel 5.11.6-174.current is working fine with my VAIO.

For those of you having issues, it would be appreciated if you would provide information about your hardware. I appreciate you saying you have issues, but I can't even start investigating it without knowing your hardware, let alone having logs from the likes of systemd (boot into 5.11, let it fail, boot back into 5.10, do sudo journalctl --boot=-1 > boot-log then put the log on pastebin).

Thanks @Leandros_Adigard, will take a look. Your possible issue here maybe, can cook a build next week for you to test.

Leandros_Adigard

JoshStrobl While I appreciate some individual attention, don't break your back... unless the cooked build will be genuinely helpful for you on the dev side. I'm sometimes hanging out on IRC too as root_directory. Feel free to hit me up there.

Is there a way to delete the old kernels?

After the updates I have a permission problem with my samba share. The share is mounted via fstab:

# Openwrt Transfer //192.168.3.2/transfer /mnt/transfer cifs guest,uid=1000,_netdev,noauto,x-systemd.automount,user,vers=1.0 0 0

After the update the permissons of user shown in dolphin is "65534", group is "nobody".
So, I'm unable to create or copy anything on the share.
I rollback the updates and everythings fine again.

But, I don't know, if this is a problem with the kernel or an other update.

thosol This sounds related to KDE updates not the kernel.

Look like it's something with my mounting in fstab.
If I use smb:// via dolphine everything is fine

George solved. Just need a little patience

Crash/hang shortly after booting into Budgie, consistent with 5.4.x kernels and in opposition to 5.10.x kernels, which would usually run for extended periods of time before hanging.
4.14.x LTS works as expected still.

This kernel message seems salient:
i915 [drm] ERROR Failed to wait for idle; VT'd may hang.

I hate to do this, but I can no longer edit my prior post.

This discussion highlighted the kernel command to turn off the intel_iommu for the igfx.

I wrote it out using the discussion here:

On kernel 5.11.6-174.current for over 9hr now under normal to heavy load, and no random hangs/freezes. Without this option, I would typically hang/freeze within a minute of boot/login of Solus on the 5.11.x kernels. Suspend/reusme, sleep/wake, shutdown/reboot, and hibernate/restore all work, which is in stark contrast to other 5.11.x kernels.

Other improvements from 4.14.x LTS like way faster WiFi performance and cooler running CPU remain, even with that kernel config option.

Everything has been working very well on my end, the only slight change i've notice is sporadic extremly breif screen tearing / flickering. It's almost unnoticeable because its so quick, and it doesn't occur too often, just the only thing i've personally noticed. Other wise all fine.

I have hp15-bw011nt and I have RTL8723DE wifi card so I need at least the kernel of 5.10.12.
Now it is upgraded to 5.11, it seems no problem at all.
