Onda Oliver Book Ubuntu lines on screen

mw flag

I installed Ubuntu 22.10 Desktop on an Onda Oliver Book. This is a 10 inch Windows tablet with keyboard.

Intel Gemini Lake refresh, Pentium N5030 Intel® UHD Graphics 605

Installation and also livesystem was only possible with save mode. During installation and also in UEFI the screen was in portrait mode and couldn’t be rotated.

Now when booting, I can use it with an external USBC screen but the internal screen only shows vertical black and white lines which seem to move when I type or move the cursor.

Maybe I need a driver for the screen? But how do I find out the exact model?

I already tried

  • to solve this via UEFI settings
  • tried to changed resolution
  • tried Elementary OS and Linux Mint

UPDATE: same result with Ubuntu Mate 22.04.5, Live system only works in Safe Graphics Mode 800x600 and the screen is rotated 90 degrees.

UPDATE: I did an experiment opening a drawing program and taking fotos of the same drawing on internal and external screen:

  • a horizontal line isn't visible at all
  • a vertical line is shown as a horizontal line but without the color

external screen and internal touchscreen (should show the same)

in "safe mode" can you get a `lshw -c display`?

I added lshw -c display above

it's not showing sensible identifiers ... can you get the output from `hwinfo --display`? (you will probably need to install hwinfo)

Thanks @Jad I added the output to the question

can you take a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1970426/comments/16 and see if the fix in there works for you?

okay, "newer" fix: https://github.com/ljvmiranda921/comments.ljvmiranda921.github.io/issues/41#issuecomment-1328125275 (referenced from the other thread) ... Only adding `i915.enable_psr=0"` worked

Again, no change, but my situation is different to the bug described there. I‘ve no flickering just constant lines which somehow show an unreadable rotated version of the original screen

Hmm. I'll do more searching, but I'm wondering if the quickest solution much be safe mode with a better resolution ...
Hannes avatar
mw flag
that's somehow true but safe mode only exists in live mode and doesn't give me any choice to rotate or resize the screen

I added nomodeset to grub now the screen works somehow but it is still rotated (which can't be changed via display settings or xrandr) and has no touch
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
