Bug description:
  Despite being this similar to an old bug 1625119, which was on a now
  unsupported release, I asked on #ubuntu whether I should go for a new
  bug and was directed to file this as a new bug.

  I have an Asus NVidia RTX 3060. I am running:
  Description:  Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
  Release:  22.04

  a supported release, and found a solution on that release.

  I am using a fully patched system with nvidia-settings
  510.47.03-0ubuntu1.

  I expected, when running nvidia-settings as root, when I clicked on
  the button to write out the settings I just configured to
  /etc/X11/xorg.conf for that to work. It does not with permission
  denied.

  The tools needs to be able to write /etc/X11/xorg.conf when root
  requests it.

  I tracked this down to a missing permission on /usr/share/screen-
  resolution-extra/nvidia-polkit which had permissions 644 on my system.

  The following change fixed this for me: chmod u+x 
/usr/share/screen-resolution-extra/nvidia-polkit
  I found many users online with similar issues in forums.

  Please update the package to implement the equivalent and close this.

  FYI end user configuration without root has improved significantly
  since 16.04 such that it would be reasonable in my honest opinion to
  also close 1625119 as fixed in 22.04 once this is done. It is fixed as
  well as security allows. It is reasonable from my point of view for
  security reasons to need root to change such a critical file as
  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

16.04 is old at this point. I had a similar problem with Ubuntu 22.04, which 
should be currently supported, and found a solution on that release. I am using 
a fully patched system with nvidia-settings 510.47.03-0ubuntu1. It needs to be 
able to write /etc/X11/xorg.conf when running as root when the user requests 
it. Attempting to run nvidia-settings as root it cannot write to that 
configuration file. The following change fixed this for me: chmod u+x

Title:
  Nvidia settings can't be saved

Status in nvidia-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 16.04 suggest proprietary Nvidia drivers when a Nvidia GPU is
  present. The settings in the nvidia-settings tool cannot be saved,
  however, without starting the tool as root and doing all kinds of
  workarounds which is impossible to do for the average user.

  Do you really expect users to reconfigure their displays after every
  login?

  Unless you can fix this, the Nvidia driver recommendation should
  simply be removed. Delivering such a horrible experience to millions
  of users seems like a bad joke and the persons responsible should feel
  really bad about this.

  Ubuntu has no future anywhere with such usability issues.

For me initially I saw it when working with large office documents and

I couldn't use a browser as it was happening all the time.

2020-05-08 Thread Robert Hardy
Hmm so patches were effective for:
i5-8250U Kaby Lake R i.e. Gen 8
i9-9880H and i3-8100 both Coffee Lake Gen 9

It's hard enough debugging this directly on hardware. Doing it in a VM isn't 
going to be helpful.
Which CPU models are still failing with 5.3.0-52.46 or 5.3.0-52.46+lp1861395v1?

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1872001] Re: 5.3.0-46-generic - i915 - frequent GPU hangs / resets rcs0

2020-05-08 Thread Robert Hardy
To be clear 5.3.0-51 did NOT include the backported patches.
Proposed 5.3.0-52.46 had some and 5.3.0-52.46+lp1861395v1 had more. 
Out of curiosity could the people who are still having hangs on the 5.3.0-52.46 
proposed or 5.3.0-52.46+lp1861395v1 kernel have different generations of CPUs?

I've got a Coffee Lake CPU and the patches seemed to do a better job of fixing 
issues for me.
Perhaps we really have two different issues here.

@pcworld we saw similar behaviour. What is your CPU model?
Here is mine:
# grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo
CPU model name  : Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-8100 CPU @ 3.60GHz

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1872001] Re: 5.3.0-46-generic - i915 - frequent GPU hangs / resets rcs0

2020-05-05 Thread Robert Hardy
I also had the issue on the 5.3.0-45 kernel but it happened once for 2 seconds 
every two days.
It wasn't even noticeable unless you really looked for it. The 5.3 kernel 
series seems to be a total write off at this point.

While it likely isn't allowed as a solution it might be less effort to
back port the focal 5.4.0-28-generic kernel to eoan. I've been on that
for several days. Since I upgraded to focal, I've seen no BT kernel
panics, no issues with HDMI passthrough audio not working, no i915 hangs
or any of the other issues I was seeing on the 5.3.0-x kernels.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1872001] Re: 5.3.0-46-generic - i915 - frequent GPU hangs / resets rcs0

2020-05-03 Thread Robert Hardy
After it was pretty clear a stable kernel wasn't coming any time soon for 19.10 
I gave up and took a dangerous leap. The only way I was going to get a 5.4 
kernel was to move to 20.04.
It was dangerous and I had to get there through a do-release-upgrade -d. Highly 
not recommended if you don't know what you are doing. I basically backed 
everything up and planned on things failing. 
I did it from the command line from multiple root shells launched ahead of time 
using screen in case X died.

I had Virtualbox 6.1.6 installed before I went through my upgrade. It
was not a clean upgrade as something as part of the upgrade process
forced the uninstall of Virtualbox 6.1.6.

I suspect it was because some of the dependencies of Virtualbox 6.1.6
only existed in Universe on focal Virtualbox 6.1.6 was uninstalled as
part of the upgrade to 20.04.

The upgrade actually blew up but I knew enough to recover. That blew a lot of 
things out of the water and was not listed on the upgrade screen or I would not 
have proceeded. I shutdown virtualbox and let it be temporarily uninstalled. 
Then I did a apt-get dist-upgrade and once that completed I tried to install 
Virtualbox 6.1.6 again but failed due to missing dependencies. I regretted 
doing an apt-get autoremove --purge just before hand.
I had to manually download and install libqt5opengl5:amd64 for focal and then 
an apt-get install -f was able to fix python and in turn Virtualbox 6.1.6. Then 
once Virtualbox installed things worked again.

After all the hell on 19.10 suddenly all my problems are gone. My NIC
drivers still work thanks to the updated Intel e1000e 3.8.4 release DKMS
package which Intel engineering kindly provided. That badly needs to be
native to Ubuntu 20.04 as the kernel driver at least back on 5.3.0
didn't work for me.

I have seen no i915 hangs with the kernel 5.4.0-28-generic. I haven't
seen any flaky Bluetooth behavior that led to kernel panics but to be
fair I didn't need to use Bluetooth audio sink on 20.04 as my HDMI audio
pass-through works properly again!

2020-05-02 Thread Robert Hardy
I got about another 4 hrs before I had a 2nd hard crash with 5.3.0-52. I
once again could not shutdown or reboot and was forced to hit my reset
button. What a mess

Basically BT audio works until the connection stops. Pausing an audio
stream encourages the BT audio to unpair. The Audio sink still shows
connected in Linux even though my DVD player shows it has unpaired.

After that happens does it doesn't do that cleanly and causes a kernel panic 
when you attempt to reconnect the audio. Afterwards you cannot cleanup the 
broken audio sink or power off Bluetooth.
Any kind of authentication seems to freeze the session. Things are very broken.

Here is the syslog content just before the hard crash on proposed 5.3.0-52 from 
which I could not reboot and finally had to hit my reset button. Please note 
this syslog extract contains a long string of UTF8 characters I had never seen 
before in a syslog just before the crash where I had to hit the reset button. I 
did not remove those.
For lack of a better option, I'm still running it and BT audio has worked so 
far today..

  Hi,

  Since update to HWE kernel 5.3.0-46-generic I am experiencing frequent
  (every couple of minutes) GPU hangs and reset manifesting as 2-3
  seconds freezes of the GUI (other than the mouse pointer).

  No particular triggers identified although have Chrome / Chromium
  running with Hardware Acceleration enabled does appear to increase the
  frequency.

  I have seen incidences of these hangs in jounralctl output using
  previous kernels in the 5.3.0-xx series but they were very infrequent
  (one or twice in a week of daily usage)

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1872001] Re: 5.3.0-46-generic - i915 - frequent GPU hangs / resets rcs0

2020-05-02 Thread Robert Hardy
The lack of kernel stability here is really getting frustrating
With recent kernels audio playback over HDMI has stopped working for me 
altogether.
I'm getting zero traction resolving it. 
I get audio playback when I plug in a headset but short cables are preventing 
use of that. Longer ones ordered but with pandemic ETA in weeks.
I was able to get audio over Bluetooth working as a temporary work around but 
that was so unstable that it crashed my computer so badly I could not reboot.
With the new 5.3.0-52.46 kernel I've seen both multiple crashes of blueman and 
kernel stack traces with kernels failing to the point of being unable to reboot 
once.
No i915 hangs though ugh...

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1872001] Re: 5.3.0-46-generic - i915 - frequent GPU hangs / resets rcs0

2020-05-01 Thread Robert Hardy
Just an FYI for those trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

The fix related to this thread wasn't in 5.3.0-51.44.
>From the changelog, which is hard to find, the fix was committed in 
>5.3.0-52.46 which is currently in eoan-proposed:

5.3.0-46-generic - i915 - frequent GPU hangs  / resets rcs0 (LP: #1872001)
- drm/i915/execlists: Preempt-to-busy
- drm/i915/gt: Detect if we miss WaIdleLiteRestore
- drm/i915/execlists: Always force a context reload when rewinding RING_TAIL

It is not recommended to run proposed kernels for production systems but it is 
possible to add them to systems which would otherwise be broken (like mine 
right now) using this repository:
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/proposed

I had hoped since that also contained a bunch of audio fixes it might
have fixed my inability to play sound but I haven't solved that one yet.
I still have yet to see a hang on 5.3.0-52.46 either but again video
playback with sound and heavy office document work seemed to trigger
hangs for me so with no sound I could just be avoiding the problem...

2020-05-01 Thread Robert Hardy
I thought 5.3.0-48.41+lp1861395v1 fixed it for me. I haven't logged a hang for 
a very long time.
Now out of the blue my audio stopped working altogether. I tried rebooting into 
5.3.0-51.44 and I still don't have audio but I'm not hanging with that either.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1872001] Re: 5.3.0-46-generic - i915 - frequent GPU hangs / resets rcs0

2020-04-23 Thread Robert Hardy
The test kernel 5.3.0-48.41+lp1861395v1 seems to be a major improvement!
On 5.3.0-45.37 pauses still happened rarely i.e. a single 2 second pause every 
15 hrs and I hadn't noticed them until I was watching the logs for them.
5.3.0-46 and later were pausing several times a minute and the system was 
unusable. 
This test kernel 5.3.0-48.41+lp1861395v1 has yet to pause at all. I will keep 
testing it but I suspect we have a winner here.

I wanted the security patches in 5.3.0-46.38 so I tried updating to the
kernel from proposed i.e. 5.3.0-47.39. Sadly hangs returned within a
couple minutes of trying to use the kernel.

For what it is worth I just downgraded my kernel to 5.3.0-45.37 and I haven't 
had a hang since:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/5.3.0-45.37

Not clear at all from the change log as to what brought this on in 5.3.0-46.38:

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1785171] Re: Intel I219-V Ethernet Interface on Ubuntu Linux Using e1000e Driver keeps Dropping Internet Connection

2020-04-07 Thread Robert Hardy
FYI in terms of sustainable options I was able to find a very hard to
find .deb with the latest driver as a DKMS module. It works fine for me
on Ubuntu 19.10. I really wish this was in a repository which was part
of universe but I'm never figured out how to do things like that.

# dpkg -l | grep e1000e
ii  e1000e-dkms   3.6.0 
 all  Intel e1000e Ethernet adapter driver (DKMS version)

Details here: https://github.com/koljah-de/e1000e-dkms-debian

The latest V3.6.0 driver I use: https://github.com/koljah-de/e1000e-
dkms-debian/releases/tag/3.6.0

Title:
  Intel I219-V Ethernet Interface on Ubuntu Linux Using e1000e Driver
  keeps Dropping Internet Connection

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've turned up many, many new server and workstation systems over the
  years on both Linux and Windows. Never seen anything like this
  behaviour I'm witnessing on Ubuntu Server 18.04 before where I simply
  lose Internet connectivity while using a browser.  Ethernet interfaces
  usually either work or they don't work.

  I've configured the Intel I219-V Ethernet interface (wired Ethernet
  connection, there is no wifi on this system) using the e1000e driver
  for Ubuntu.  The Ethernet connection is configured to use
  NetworkManager via Netplan on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server version.  ASRock
  Z370m Pro4 motherboard.

  The Ethernet interface will drop the Internet connectivity when I'm
  using either the Firefox or Chrome browser.  It usually happens when
  I'm using the search features of the browser. I can't figure out what
  would cause this type of behaviour.  When the Internet connection
  drops, the only way to get back Internet connectivity is to disconnect
  the wired connection using the Ubuntu features and then re-connect
  (this restarts the NetworkManager service I notice).

  In the NetworkManager logs I do notice an "auth" error about a file or
  directory not found. I've never seen that before.

  Note:  The auth error does not coincide with the loss of Internet
  connectivity, but it does proceed it.  Often there can be many hours
  between the auth error and the actual loss of Internet connectivity.

  After I reconnect the connection (via re-starting the NetworkManager
  service) all will be fine for up to a day or so, but then I stress
  test it with a bunch of searches using the browser and usually I can
  get the Internet connectivity to drop again.  Repeat the disconnect
  and reconnect process again (aka re-start NetworkManager) and the
  Internet connectivity will be fine again.  The longest I've seen it go
  without an "Internet connectivity drop" issue is about 36 hours.

  I notice that the e1000e driver does not list the I219-V as a
  supported Ethernet interface in the Intel documentation for the Linux
  version of the driver.  I'm not sure why that is.  The I219-V is
  supposed to used another driver, but it's not clear there's a Linux
  version for of the driver for the I219-V.

  I'm really disappointed that I've run into this issue with Ubuntu
  Server LTS 18.04 on this motherboard.  I had CentOS Server 7.4 (my
  standard server OS, a great Linux distro) on this same motherboard for
  a week with no issues, so I know the motherboard and the I219-V
  Ethernet interface are 100% good hardware wise and can work properly.
  CentOS 7.4 uses NetworkManager as the default for managing the
  Ethernet interface.

  The only reason I'm using Ubuntu Server 18.04 on this motherboard is
  because of a specific package that Ubuntu has a newer packaged version
  than CentOS. CentOS is extremely stable when it comes to basic server
  functionality.

  Hopefully, this bug with the I219-V Ethernet interface using the
  e1000e drive for Linux can be verified and a fix rolled out.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1785171] Re: Intel I219-V Ethernet Interface on Ubuntu Linux Using e1000e Driver keeps Dropping Internet Connection

2020-04-07 Thread Robert Hardy
FYI a kernel bisection may be outside the skill set of your average user
and chances are much lower without detailed instructions. Please don't
shoot the messenger.

I too have a Asrock motherboard but a ASRock Z370M-ITX/ac. I had a lot
off trouble getting my I219-V NICs to behave on Ubuntu.

I started on 18.04 and eventually went to 19.10 with the Intel e1000e
3.6.0-NAPI driver and a bunch of commands to get good performance.

File transfers were severely impacted but it is immediately obvious in iperf3 
when the card is not performing properly. 
Tweaking several of these options added several hundred Mbps to transfers 
giving a consistent 60MB/s over SMB but I'm still getting half the throughput 
of my Windows 10 workstation when talking to the same Ubuntu server. Given my 
Ubuntu client storage is 5X faster the cause is unknown.

I'm curious if anyone has figured out if the firmware version on the
I219-V NIC is updateable and how. It's odd the same chip users different
drivers and shows different firmware revisions.

$ ethtool -i enp2s0
driver: igb
version: 5.6.0-k
firmware-version:  0. 4-1
$ ethtool -i eno1
driver: e1000e
version: 3.6.0-NAPI
firmware-version: 0.2-4

It's really odd to be using two different drivers for the same NIC:
sudo lspci -v | grep -i ether
00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V
DeviceName: Onboard - Ethernet
Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection 
(rev 03)

I have this in my rc.local now:
ethtool -A eno1 autoneg off tx off rx off 2> /dev/null || :
ethtool -K eno1 gso off tso off 2> /dev/null || :
ethtool -A enp2s0 autoneg off tx off rx off 2> /dev/null || :
ethtool --set-eee eno1 eee off 2> /dev/null || :
ethtool --set-eee enp2s0 eee off 2> /dev/null || :

1st line turns off flow control, 2nd turns off offloading specifically gso and 
tso, the last ones turn off a energy efficient Ethernet option.
Post tweaks I consistently get 935-958Mbit/s in perf3.
