reproducibility update: WAS: always but noticed that when connecting external monitor to laptop, the issue is not occurring |

Sorry, mistake in "Additional Information" : uname is from kernel version before the update that broke the system. (5.10) Kernel log is from failing boot however. |

found: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=345433 so I tried also to delete 'quiet splash' in grub and replace it with 'i915.modeset=0' this also "fixes" the video issue that I have. summary: so far 2 workarounds: 1) plug-in usb-C/DP external monitor 2) kernel parameter i915.modeset=0 |
