Re: mint 19.1 does not fix AMD graphics issue of 19
I would ask in the other thread, but it's rather old now. Are you keeping your old home directory when you upgrade? Or is everything a fresh install?
Re: mint 19.1 does not fix AMD graphics issue of 19
HI Thanks for the reply yes it is a fresh install this problem hung around for a while now also happens on my friends amd a10 gpu
It is at the bootup just before desktop once on desktop loads everything is fine
this problem does not happen on peppermint os 18.04 which is strange but I did not like peppermint os very much also been a linux mint person
for a long time and thank the good work the mint team do which is great Thanks catfish

Bummer. Hopefully my older AMD A8-5500B APU with Radeon HD Graphics doesn't experience this when I get around to upgrading.
What's your graphics card?

Re: mint 19.1 does not fix AMD graphics issue of 19
What is your output of running
inxi -G
in the terminal?Re: mint 19.1 does not fix AMD graphics issue of 19
Hi MrEen Thanks for taking the time on this matter the out put for inxi -g is here plus i have attached a screen shot of the colour weirdness just the last stage before the desktop loads it may not be a big deal to some people but if your trying to get someone to switch to linux is bit off putting
not a problem 18.3
Edit I beleave the AMD driver is not loaded does not work on 19 and
looks like 19.1 the open source driver takes over but this weird colours etc
which does not happen on past versions of mint
18.3 AMD Driver loads out puthere weird colour difficult to catch 19.1 same 19 problem but fine on 18.3
i think 19/19.1 is using open source driver issue? not sure
inxi -G

Re: mint 19.1 does not fix AMD graphics issue of 19
I've got the same problem on my Mint 19 (Tara) Xfce hard drives which are in my two desktop tower computers. One desktop tower has an AMD graphics card in it and the second desktop tower has an Nvidia graphics card.
Right before the Desktop loads, it shows some weird colors when I start up both of these desktop towers computers in the morning. I turn the computers off during the night. These two desktop tower computers have more than one hard drive installed in them (first tower has 2 hard drives and the second tower has 3 hard drives).
Since each hard drive has it's own desktop wallpaper, sometimes the second hard drive which is loading and going to the second hard drive's desktop wallpaper, the second hard drive sees the desktop wallpaper from the "first" hard drive right before the Desktop appears with the correct wallpaper for the second hard drive. This lasts for about 1-2 seconds in time.
With my two laptops, this doesn't happen to them at all. Just my two desktop tower computers are affected. It is a minor bug since everything else in Mint 19 (Tara) Xfce works flawlessly.
I haven't tried using the Beta for Mint 19.1 (Tessa) Xfce, but reading Catfish's comments for Mint 19.1 (Tessa), which has the same problem I have in Mint 19 (Tara) Xfce, I was hoping this bug would be fixed in Mint 19.1 (Tessa). Looks like it hasn't been fixed. Whether this will be fixed or not is the main question I have concerning Mint 19.1 (Tessa) Xfce.

Re: mint 19.1 does not fix AMD graphics issue of 19
Hi Appoloin thanks for reply 4.4 was the last kernel that Amd driver worked with
I did a fresh install which is in general is better the AMD driver does not work with later kernels thanks to AMD and the open source drive which normally you can get away with is a bit rough and it is the cause of the problem i beleave more people with knowledge of these things can correct me if Iam wrong I upgraded the Kernel due this issue with Spectre exploit and meltdown etc

Hi catfish.
Your inxi output confuses me with the device part:
Notice that on 18.3 it doesn't show that first line at all, then there's this:
Not sure what to make of that. This isn't an area I'm skilled in at all.

Hi catfish,
Have you thought about try the AMDGPU? Kaveri does have experimental support.

Re: mint 19.1 does not fix AMD graphics issue of 19
I've built a Ryzen 3 2200g PC and couldn't get Mint 19 xfce to even boot because he 4.15 kernel doesn't work with the APU. My understanding is that the newer 4.18+ kernels do support it and after using a video card to install Mint 19 and updating the kernel to 4.19.2, I could boot into the desktop. I decided to test the kernel issue before upgrading to 4.19 by removing the video card and the system would not boot. Put in the card and the system boots. After upgrading the kernel and removing the video card, it booted. I saw that Mint 19.1 is using the 4.15 kernel that doesn't work so I'm guessing that's the issue. I hope the final 19.1 upgrades the kernel but I've heard folks are not hopeful it will happen. Maybe someone from the project will see these issues and pass them along in time to add the more recent kernels to the iso.

HI perdomot Thanks for information about the kernel letting that slide is causing lots of problems for people on a wide range of amd apu etc i may have to get back to you on how you got the kernel 4.19 on to mint 19 lucky i have the desktop with nvidia card and 19 works ok it is just i use the laptop a lot the one with the AMD issue Fingers crossed someone have seen our problems and it gets fixed thanks catfishperdomot wrote: ⤴Tue Dec 04, 2018 5:54 pm I've built a Ryzen 3 2200g PC and couldn't get Mint 19 xfce to even boot because he 4.15 kernel doesn't work with the APU.

These instruction come from Arch but they should work on any linux distro if your kernel and mesa are new enough.
