[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1710051] Re: xorg crash/freeze when Chrome uses WebGL, caused by: GPU HANG: ... chrome ... reason: Hang on render ring, action: reset
I have been seeing this similar issue for some time but hadn't gotten to looking into it. My system was also running with the subject driver: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1.2 amd64X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver My graphics card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 610] (rev a1) For experimentation sake, I switched to NVidia proprietary drivers...

For the help of other users, I just want to mention that in Ubuntu 17.04, I ended up switching back to stable xorg and *removing* xserver- xorg-video-intel, as suggested in some online documentation, in order to force the modesetting driver to run. I'd see modesetting and glamoregl modules loading in the Xorg.0.log file. Then, I disabled hardware acceleration in Chrome, using the official setting available in Chrome settings. (Not via a flag.) Search for "acceleration" in chrome://settings and then un-check that option. With these two corrective actions, I seem to have a stable machine, even when running Chrome day-in day-out for a long time in gnome-shell. I also can't force a crash with Facebook 3D images any longer. This is probably the right set of recommendations for users with my Lenovo X1C model or similar Skylake & GPU hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710051 Title: xorg crash/freeze when Chrome uses WebGL, caused by: GPU HANG: ... chrome ... reason: Hang on render ring, action: reset Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am running a Lenovo X1C 4th Generation on Ubuntu 17.04.

@chipaca Thanks for the suggestion. Interesting. I see a reddit thread about this here: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/4cojj9/it_is_probably_time_to_ditch_xf86videointel/ I might try that suggestion again. Reading the Intel Graphics wiki page from Arch Linux has the following admonishment: "Some (Debian & Ubuntu, Fedora, KDE) recommend not installing the xf86 -video-intel driver, and instead falling back on the modesetting driver for fourth generation and newer GPUs. See [1], [2], Xorg#Installation, and modesetting(4). However, the modesetting driver can cause problems such as Chromium Issue 370022." from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/intel_graphics Part of the reason I switched to xserver-xorg-video-intel, though, is because I was seeing atrocious animation performance with the default, as well as corruption issues in Chrome. So, I had assumed the built-in driver was somehow problematic. Seems like we need an expert to weigh in here on the right move for modern Ubuntu and modern Intel GPUs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710051 Title: xorg crash/freeze when Chrome uses WebGL, caused by: GPU HANG: ... chrome ... reason: Hang on render ring, action: reset Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am running a Lenovo X1C 4th Generation on Ubuntu 17.04.
