2019-08-05 13:22:43 Mathias Leyendecker description Since upgrading to kernel 5.0.0-23-generic, the framebuffer tty is unusable due to flickering like crazy, showing green rectangles instead of a console. X.Org and Plymouth still display correctly. In addition, the following message appears in dmesg: [ 9191.868497] [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun [ 9687.876764] [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun My GPU is Intel UHD Graphics 620. The problem does not occur on the 4.18.0-25-generic kernel, which implies this might be a problem with the kernel, or the i915 module.
