[08:32] <tjaalton> lotuspsychje: i was wrong, the commit was in 4.19 already
[08:33] <tjaalton> maybe try blacklisting the module and try 5.3rc, it should flicker again
[08:46] <tjaalton> I don't think the bug in i915 which causes the flicker has been fixed yet
[08:54] <lotuspsychje> tjaalton: but the module was my eth card, would that still be valid then?
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> my wifi is that iwlwifi
[08:56] <lotuspsychje> tjaalton: whats weird, that thread i found was mentioning same intel wifi, but the commit is about r8169
[09:05] <tjaalton> lotuspsychje: it's loaded, and the commit means that it's no longer blocking the cpu/gpu to enter lower power state
[09:05] <tjaalton> which then triggers the bug in i915
[09:05] <tjaalton> it all makes sense
[09:05] <tjaalton> just blacklist r8169 (or unload it) and test on 5.3rc
[09:05] <lotuspsychje> allrighty
[09:06] <lotuspsychje> but 5.3 was not flickering right
[09:07] <lotuspsychje> only 5.0 flickering
[09:07] <tjaalton> because it had another commit for r8169
[09:07] <lotuspsychje> ah
[09:08] <tjaalton> 62b1b3b3b6d3ef3 r8169: don't activate ASPM in chip if OS can't control ASPM
[09:08] <tjaalton> which I believe kinda reverts the older commit
[09:08] <lotuspsychje> ok, blacklist added, lets reboot
[09:08] <tjaalton> in the sense that it would no longer use lower cstates
[09:12] <lotuspsychje> tjaalton: you need my dmesg now with the blacklist?
[09:12] <tjaalton> no
[09:12] <tjaalton> does it flicker?
[09:12] <lotuspsychje> 5.3 was not flickering
[09:12] <tjaalton> even after blacklist?
[09:12] <lotuspsychje> yep
[09:12] <tjaalton> okay
[09:12] <lotuspsychje> oh wait
[09:13] <lotuspsychje> i forgot to delete cstate 4
[09:13] <lotuspsychje> my bad
[09:13] <tjaalton> heh
[09:13] <tjaalton> also fastboot=0
[09:13] <lotuspsychje> ok
[09:13] <tjaalton> or suspend/resume
[09:14] <lotuspsychje> ok here goes
[09:17] <lotuspsychje> hmm wifi enables anyway after a while
[09:17] <lotuspsychje> no flickering
[09:18] <lotuspsychje> r8169 0000:01:00.1: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control
[09:20] <tjaalton> so it's loaded anyway?
[09:20] <tjaalton> try rmmod r8169
[09:20] <lotuspsychje> tjaalton: http://dpaste.com/2JBCR5F
[09:21] <lotuspsychje> rmmod: ERROR: could not remove module r8169: Operation not permitted
[09:21] <tjaalton> how about sudo -s first..
[09:22] <lotuspsychje> reboot again?
[09:23] <tjaalton> what?
[09:23] <tjaalton> how did you blacklist it?
[09:23] <tjaalton> 'sudo rmmod r8169'
[09:23] <lotuspsychje> added to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[09:23] <tjaalton> does it work?
[09:24] <lotuspsychje> rmmod: ERROR: Module r8169 is not currently loaded
[09:24] <tjaalton> cool, does it flicker after suspend/resume
[09:24] <lotuspsychje> lets try
[09:25] <lotuspsychje> no, Fn keys brightness also work
[09:26] <tjaalton> what's that got do to with this? :)
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> tjaalton: well the Fn keys have influence on the flickering
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> making it flicker more
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> so im alwyas testing too
[09:27] <lotuspsychje> ok whats next :p
[09:27] <tjaalton> sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_dmc_info
[09:28] <lotuspsychje> http://dpaste.com/16GYRN8
[09:28] <tjaalton> sounds like some other device is now blocking lower power state
[09:29] <tjaalton> if r8169 is not loaded
[09:29] <tjaalton> fun
[09:29] <lotuspsychje> yikes
[09:29] <tjaalton> anyway, we should get 62b1b3b3b6d3ef3 in 5.0
[09:30] <lotuspsychje> tjaalton: i dont need to test this blacklist on 5.0?
[09:30] <tjaalton> it wouldn't have any effect
[09:30] <lotuspsychje> kk
[09:31] <tjaalton> thing is though, that it's kinda hard to debug the actual bug in i915 because their code is now based on 5.3 where the bug doesn't happen
[09:31] <tjaalton> isn't triggered I mean
[09:31] <lotuspsychje> ah
[09:34] <lotuspsychje> tjaalton: if it can help, these are the kernels we all tested: http://dpaste.com/2T98DVQ
[09:36] <lotuspsychje> 4.15 4.18 5.2 and 5.3 were not flickering
[09:42] <tjaalton> 5.2?
[09:42] <tjaalton> surely did flicker
[09:44] <lotuspsychje> tested 19.10 without flickering i think
[09:44] <lotuspsychje> live daily
[09:49] <lotuspsychje> tjaalton: i can test some of my list if you want
[09:52] <EoflaOE> hello
[09:53] <lotuspsychje> hi EoflaOE

[13:50] <tjaalton> lotuspsychje: no need to test anything, since I know what's going on
[14:04] <tjaalton> lotuspsychje: 5.2 has this: b75bb8a5b755d0c r8169: disable ASPM again
[14:05] <tjaalton> that's why it doesn't flicker
[14:05] <tjaalton> also, it explains why my builds with smaller config didn't flicker
[14:57] <lotuspsychje> tjaalton: allright, thank you for all your work, time & effort in this bug
[21:56] <shibboleth> current 5.0.0 -20 until -28 are all messing with the tor browser bundle
[21:57] <shibboleth> is this known, has anyone weighed in?
