Description Dick Gevers 2018-06-26 12:07:17 CEST

Description of problem:
[ I suppose this has to be reported against the latest kenrel ]

I was away on vacation and on return updated my (Cauldron) machines.
Desktop is okay. But my HP laptop misbehaves:

With the kernel-desktop-4.17.2-3 a problem occurs, while with
kernel-desktop-4.14.44-1 it acts okay.

I thought it might be stg with the DM but changing lightdm/lxdm/sddm made no difference.

Only reboot to the latest kernel minus one makes it okay.

The problem is that once I log in to the desktop (Mate of Xfce4) I can start an Eterm terminal and give some commands, but as soon as I try to move to the next desktop ( with Alt + Ctl + Arrow right ) the screen freezes and does hardly anything anymore at all. All 3 DM's and 2 different desktops behave the same. (And with the previous kernel is okay again)

This laptop is an HP 17-ak091nd and the xorf.conf shows inter alia:
Section "Device"
   Identifier "device1"
   VendorName "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
   BoardName "ATI Volcanic Islands and later (amdgpu/fglrx0"
   Driver "amdgpu"
   Option "DPMS"
EndSection

I will attach xz compressed files from commands:
journalctl -b > oldkernel.txt
journalctl -b -1 > newkernel.txt

Thats the 3rdparty rtl8723de driver crashing constantly making the system unusable...

You better stick with the older kernel for now... I'll see if there are some updates for the driver yet...

I see the code is now available in lwfinger extended branch for new realtek stuff... I will try to redo the drivers based on that tree...

Aha I see, didn't realize that...
