Screen glitches

Hi,

since 2-3 weeks on my pc occur screen glitches. I had them some time back, but when I started to use the lts-kernel they vanished. Now they occur again.

Does anyone have an idea, whats the issue?

The LTS kernel used to be 5.10, it recently moved to be 5.15, which would likely explain why the issue started now. Should you want to use it, 5.10 is in the AUR and my kernel-lts repo.

Which part of this is where the issue happens? For example, the timestamp?

The kernel of the aur didn’t install. Your repo works like a charm. Hopefully the issue vanishes again. :slight_smile: I know it not solved but maybe its an driver issue I can not solve.

I have send you some ÂŁ for your Laptop upgrade.

After some weeks I can say that it works with the “older” kernel :grinning:

I don’t mark the threat as “solved” because I my opinion its more like a work around.

Today I have updated my system and since the update the kernel 5.10 doesn’t boot to the UI anymore. Do you have any idea why?

No.

Downgrade to the previous version; if it’s not fixed in a future release then you might need to take this up with the kernel developers.

Okay. Thanks.

Before I downgrade I will try the latest kernel - I don’t know if screen glitches still occur on that.

The latest kernel updates fixed this issue.

well, sadly the issue reoccurs again.

First I used kernel 5.10 for serveral months. The last months I have used kernel 5.04 because on 5.10 it has reoccured at some point again. Now I have the issue on 5.04.

If it is a graphic driver issue, is it possible to use some other driver than the one, which gets delivered by the lts-kernel? If not maybe it is better that I buy some other (used) graphics card. Maybe I can shot some similar used graphics card for 50-70 €.

you are using still kernel-lts repo? as Jonathon passed away because of cancer, this is not longer working it was only maintained by him.

What? No! I did not know that. That’s really really sad.

No, I installed them by the akm (kernel manager of eos), which by the way is very easy to use an helpful.

yes but these are not official archlinux packages on the arch repo so you will have a custom alternative repo added to pacman…
check:
cat /etc/pacman.conf | eos-sendlog and paste url

You still have the kernel-lts repo at the bottom. It is not updated since last November.
You should better remove it and do a full update, after you uninstall nvidia drivers (use open source nouveau).

Or wait for another advice… :person_shrugging:

remove this repo it is not maintained anymore… and packages there are already hugely outdated and unsupported in any matter…

[kernel-lts]
Server = https://repo.m2x.dev/current/$repo/$arch

you need to use AUR for them and build locally now.

I can install it just with

yay kernel-lts510

and after that I update grub? Thats its it?

I have install kernel 5.10 via AUR. At the first glance everything seems to work fine.

Thank you @joekamprad @petsam

has a new maintainer and is updated 2023-03-14 so yes should be fine to use.

A few weeks ago, I have bought a secondhand graphic card for 25 €. It works fine. There aren’t any glitches anymore.
