alkisgHi, so far 3 schools reported black screen+hang after upgrading from 4.15.0-47 to -48+: http://alkisg.mysch.gr/steki/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7771.0;attach=5029;image08:16
alkisgBut when they installed linux-generic-hwe, the problem was gone, so I'm not sure it's worth it to pinpoint the regression;08:16
alkisgso I'm just mentioning it in case it becomes more frequent...08:16

alkisgtjaalton: that's the only info I have, from one of those schools08:38
alkisgThey didn't have any issues up to -48 though; this issue mentions that -46 had a problem...08:39
tjaaltonthat's something else then and not related to graphics08:41
alkisgThank you tjaalton; if it becomes more frequent I'll have a deeper look08:42
tjaaltonfile a bug08:42
alkisgI don't feel well to file bugs when it's not easy to provide feedback; if I can reproduce in the office that's easy;08:45
alkisgif not, I VNC to the school, but e.g. now that they had that easy workaround with -hwe, they wouldn't want the downtime involved to send a lot of debug information, as it usually means teachers can't give lessons then08:45
alkisgSo they are only very happy to give debug info when they don't have workarounds :D08:45
