Attached sysinfo.
Ran another update, same issue with kernel 4.4.3-300.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1313013 *** The screen is still not working. No Fedora system with kernel 4.4 or newer has been working on this computer. It has been broken for over 4 months now! This is ridiculous. On every boot, the old kernel 4.3 must be selected manually or else there is no video output. A full system update cannot be performed, because every new kernel version seems to be broken as well. Also, when updating the system (for example using apper or clicking on the update notifications in the tray), the working kernel could be uninstalled because Fedora only retains 3 kernel versions by default. So clicking on a software update notification by accident can render the whole system completely useless without any working kernel left. According to bug 1313013, it's supposedly fixed in kernel 4.5.5. If this is the case, then these are two different bugs because it is still happening with 4.5.5. The Fedora 24 live system also does not work - same issue: 5aa184c9377046a5e281402c4cee1a8a Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-24-1.2.iso Black screen means "no video input", so it seems like the monitor is not even getting a signal. When the "nomodeset" option is specified for the boot process, switching to another tty (Ctrl + Alt + F2) not only makes the screen go black in the same way, but also freezes the system completely. I have tried this Fedora live system - same bug, system won't boot, no video: 1b410e9889132274ed256d9966cd6538 Media/F24-x86_64-KDE-20160808.iso Unlike Ubuntu (tested: ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso), where the "nomodeset" boot option seems to be a good workaround, switching to another tty does not work (black screen, system frozen, including keyboard leds) on Fedora when using this option. But using this option (Fedora live system boot menu, TAB, append "nomodeset", Enter), the system will at least boot and the login screen shows up. Apart from other issues that might arise because of this option, it seems to fix the boot process and the monitor won't go black until Ctrl + Alt + FX is pressed. I feel like this bug should receive a bit more attention. After all, one of the most commonly used Linux distributions has stopped working (on this particular hardware) almost half a year ago. In other words: Fedora Linux does not work on this computer anymore. $ lspci -nn | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0412] (rev 06) Motherboard: Asus Z87-PRO *********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 24 kernel bugs. Fedora 24 has now been rebased to 4.7.4-200.fc24. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 25, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 25. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those. *********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in 4 weeks. If you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are running and any data that might have been requested previously. I replaced the hardware because Fedora Linux would not work on the old hardware anymore. Probably still broken, but can't check. |
