Bug#927324: Additional reports; GNOME session is, with blank screen ON, without suspend, unstable.
Dear maintainers,
I first reported GNOME display resume problem,
and thought it has something around power management;
I thought, it would be a minor problem, since,
* My testing amd64 machine is DIY, though there had no
hardware issues, freeze, BSOD, etc, about a year,
with multiple operating systems.
* I setup the box with relatively abnormal settings,
say LVM, LUKS, separated and restricted mount points,
PAM restrictions, etc.
However, I want to report (claim?) two things.
1. GNOME, blank screen, i2c, xwayland
======================================
Today I found a GNOME session broken during
automatic screen blank. No suspend, no resume.
syslog says, around the screen trouble time,
* kernel: i2c i2c-1: sendbytes: NAK bailout.
/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/name is "i915 gmbus dpc".
To be honest, I have no idea if that matters on this case.
By the way, in debian-devel, I saw something about wayland.
My screen report almost has some wayland error log,
such as
* gnome-shell: connection to xwayland lost
2. Wayland itself and the next Debian "stable"
==============================================
I am not familiar with wayland.
IMHO, if that is good (and it seems so,)
AND stable, then Debian "stable" GNOME/Wayland makes sense.
I'm using Stretch with almost same amd64 box,
Kaby Lake, iGPU, NVMe, HDMI, LVM, LUKS, etc., about a year.
It's solid stable.
If it is about whether X11 or Wayland,
I vote for X11, since Buster is becoming "stable" release.
More simply: Wayland itself is so stable?
Anyway, I will keep testing with my H110 Skylake box and
Z270 Kaby Lake box, clean install for the former,
upgrade from Stretch for the latter.
Regards.
