Hi have been using Budgie for a while now and recently bought a new laptop where i was running 18.10 budgie (love it btw) but recently got a notification on updates saying no more support for 18.10 so upgrade, so put it off a while (well since April) but thought been a rouund 5 months or so will do…

Two parts. What happens if you boot with nomodeset as your kernel boot parameter? Does the issue occur if you boot into a live session? If it does, does it occur with a live session of the latest 19.10 daily image?

fossfreedom in answer to your questions I tried the booting with nomodeset not only entered manually into the /etc/default/grub file (and updated grub) but also the 19.10 safe graphics mode does the same thing apparently when you install that option, so have tried it both ways and no dice. re liv…

[image] nuffink: Intel UHD Graphics 620 I had a quick google around and there are quite a few flickering issues raised about this graphics type e.g. Bug #1785912 “Horizontal screen flicker Intel UHD graphics 620 (...” : Bugs : linux package : Ubuntu I’ve seen various people mention that you…

This seems to be the main upstream bug report https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108132

David (assume it is ok to call you by your forename?) Thanks for the quick response, googling sometimes is knowing what to search for and I am not that knowledgeable linux dev to know the underlying bits tbh, but please clarify when you say “latest intel firmware” as in at a bios level or ?? the gp…

[image] nuffink: My mind however is like why does the try not install with safe work and the others seem not to? is there actually a difference in what is loaded up between the two “safe” options off the install menu? That basically boots with nomodeset - the non-safe graphics options don’t u…

OK thanks for the explanation, so i guess the best option to do stay on 18.10 for the time being until this is fixed, assuming it will be at some point if it affects lots of others by looks of?

It affects many users of all linux variants. You should keep an eye on that bug report. Suggest try some of the options people have proposed. I note one of the comments was exactly what you said that the display was stable when connecting an external monitor

David, Ok soplan is will install 19.04 side by side with the 18.10 for me that works, i asume i dont have to partition up front that the install wil sort that for me but will give it a go, question which option is best to go with for install safe mode or non safe mode initially? or is it that the o…

if you use safe graphics then after the install it will continue using that safe-graphics option to boot - so yes that is the “safest” way to install. You can always update your grub config later to remove that extra kernel boot option.
