--- Comment #7 from Ross Green ---
Yes I suspected calling with nomodeset might work.
If you look at the stack unwind the first three calls come from drm_kms_helper.
So Kernel modesetting was likely to be involved.
I guess the point is we have a reproducible stack trace for kernel
4.12.14-lp151.28.4-default. So it should be possible to work out what has
happened here.
This problem did not happen with the earlier 15.1 kernel
4.12.14-lp151.27-default,
so a few people who work closely with the nouveau driver might have a few ideas
as to what changes have brought upon this outcome.
With the exception of some of the additions for newer hardware there has not
been a lot of activity in the nouveau driver for several months.
Most of the major changes happened way back during the 5.0 release cycle.
Likewise the 4.20 and 4.19 releases might be useful candidate changes that
bought upon the problem.
I think I did notice there were also a few kernel modeset changes along the way
as well, when looking at kernel updates to the drm driver. So I suspect a few
of the driver maintainers might be able to quickly shed some light on some
likely potential changes that have brought on this problem.
