Color stripes after booting on Intel HD 620

[Ava]

Hello,

After installing fresh Manjaro i3 I sometimes have problems with my video output. It is not deterministic, just sometimes it has vertial colorful stripes after booting (https://i.imgur.com/fk6kRJr.jpg). Reboot usually solves the issue. It always happens at the startup, not after some delay. The problem is visible even on the log messages during boot.

Edit: I see that the problem is quite similar to Ugly login screen after recent update - #4 by romanoff and Screen going crazy - (hue and saturation?) post installation.

I have i5-8265u with Intel HD 620 (Dell Inspiron 14 5482). My driver:

$ mhwd -li -d
   NAME:	video-linux
   ATTACHED:	PCI
   VERSION:	2018.05.04
   INFO:	Standard open source drivers.
   PRIORITY:	2
   FREEDRIVER:	true
   DEPENDS:	-
   CONFLICTS:	-
   CLASSIDS:	0300 0380 0302 
   VENDORIDS:	1002 8086 10de

mhwd -l tells that it is the latest one.

Thank you for all help in advance.

I experienced the same issue (same gpu model) and never found a solution until I switched to wayland with a clean install of manjaro gnome (also running sway) - never had any graphical glitches ever since…

Hello!

I’ve encountered the same issue. I must say that it took couple of days to solve it, but I’ve found the solution:

1st of all, you need to edit the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and add the “i915” argument to MODULE section, so it looks like that:

`MODULES=(i915)`

Then you need to run as root

`mkinitcpio -P`

Then of course reboot, and in my case the problem was solved.

The solution I’ve found thanks to arch wiki:

Hope I’ve helped!
