@Kennedy Thanks for the report, sorry about your rough experience. You can revert to the prior release (instructions below), but I’d suggest configuring GRUB for a high resolution display so you can keep the S3 resume fixes that went into the latest release. I would like to see if there is a way to improve this by default for the next firmware release.
To do that:
- Generate a high-resolution font:
sudo grub-mkfont -s 30 -o /boot/hires.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf - Edit /etc/default/grub (
sudo nano /etc/default/grubor editor of your choice), add the following lines after GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX:GRUB_GFXMODE="3840x2160@60,auto"GRUB_FONT="/boot/hires.pf2"
- Run
sudo update-grub.
You’ll get a high resolution GRUB menu with a large font. You can adjust the size if you want, re-run #1 and change -s 30 to the size of your choice.
If you’d rather revert to the prior release instead, follow the usual instructions with an older coreboot_util.sh from the release you want.
For 4.21-Purism-4:
mkdir ~/updates
cd ~/updates
wget https://source.puri.sm/firmware/utility/-/raw/95a025143233a5b7b6aa4b8a2cbf0a8605367b5d/coreboot_util.sh
sudo bash coreboot_util.sh
I appreciate your report. I’ve made a lot of improvements in firmware for many of the issues you’ve encountered, but I know some of them remain, and getting reports from customers is very helpful feedback. Missing drives after reboot was improved in 4.21-Purism-4. There have been many improvements for display issues, the last change to remove the VGA BIOS helped with many displays that could not handle many mode switches during boot that GRUB was causing. The last resume from standby issue was addressed in 4.21-Purism-4. But if any of those do persist for you on the latest releases, I’d appreciate any context or information about your setup that you can offer so I can reproduce and fix those issues.
