Title:
drm.edid_firmware fails to load firmware where crypsetup-initramfs is
installed
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
My HP LP2475W monitor reports incorrect EDID info resulting in bad
image quality.
It can be fixed with a customized edid file, and adding
drm.edid_firmware kernel boot parameter.
But in Ubuntu 18.04.1 and Ubuntu 18.10, if crypsetup-initramfs package
is installed, it fails to load the firmware file.
Detailed bug report:
Following this istructions
(https://blog.tingping.se/2018/12/01/amdgpu-fullrgb.html), I created a
modified edid.bin file in /lib/firmware/edid/edid.bin and passed
drm.edid_firmware=edid/edid.bin to the kernel at boot.
In my daily Ubuntu 18.04.1 dmesg report this error and I could not solve it.
[ 1.173897] platform HDMI-A-1: Direct firmware load for edid/edid.bin failed with error -2
So I tried in a fresh Ubuntu 18.10 and it worked nicely, no error and nice crisp display image.
But when I began to install the software I need for daily use it ceased to work and began to show the same message as in my work Ubuntu 18.04.1.
After some test it seems that the problem occurs after I install cryptsetup:
------
dmesg | grep edid
[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-14-generic root=UUID=dfb5fdf3-b93b-4abf-99fd-d5a7ec4e66df ro drm.edid_firmware=edid/edid.bin quiet splash vt.handoff=1
[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-14-generic root=UUID=dfb5fdf3-b93b-4abf-99fd-d5a7ec4e66df ro drm.edid_firmware=edid/edid.bin quiet splash vt.handoff=1
[ 3.792846] [drm] Got external EDID base block and 1 extension from "edid/edid.bin" for connector "HDMI-A-1"
------
I purged cryptsetup but the problem persisted, so I removed too cryptsetup-initramfs and the the problem disapeared and the edid file is loaded again, improving the display quality:
------
dmesg | grep edid
[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-14-generic root=UUID=dfb5fdf3-b93b-4abf-99fd-d5a7ec4e66df ro drm.edid_firmware=edid/edid.bin quiet splash vt.handoff=1
