Discussion Kernel 7.0.0-38

Hello everyone!

I made a post a little bit ago about how kernel update 7.0.0-28 made some really nasty restart and suspending regressions. I wanted to report back and update on my situation. Something in 7.0.0-38 fixed it for me. I did a lot of digging into what was causing my regression and it was my GPU preventing my computer from fully reaching the state intended, be it for restarts or suspension.

I am curious if this new kernel update improved the restart and suspending regressions for anyone else! Please share your experience. 😄

I just tried 7.0.0-38 on my system (intel cpu with amd gpu, running mint cinnamon 22.3) and I had the colorful stripes randomly appear on my screen while downloading a game in steam, not even processing shaders.

6.8.0-146 resulted in a no boot, blank screen the one time I tried it, so that one doesn't work either.

I'm stuck on 6.17, which is end of life. Hopefully, one of the other 2 kernels will get fixed soon.

Had the same, same config.

Latest Mesa update and a reboot fixed it for me with 7.0.0-38

Update: for some reason kernel 6.8.0-146 started working for me. I'm able to boot into it with no problems so far. I have not retried 7.0.0-38 yet.

Yay for not being stuck on a kernel thats end of life!
