nvidia/nouveau problems

2011-04-20 Thread Per Bothner
I got a new Sandy Bridge i7 laptop with nvidia/optimus graphics.
I managed to install the new KDE beta, after a few problems.
However, there seems to be some issues with nouvaeu trying to
start up: One issue is errors messages and slowness starting up:

First I get this console message:
mkdir: cannot create directory `/run': File exists

Then I get these errors from nouveau:

Pointer to BIT loadval table invalid
i2c wr fail: -6
PGRAPH: unsupported chipset, please reported

Then it hangs for a long time (many minutes), before I
finally bet a KDE login screen.

After KDE starts up, things mostly work, but some fan is
going continuously, even when the system is idle.  Perhaps the GPU fan?

My preference would be to just use integrated graphics, and
completely disable the nvidia graphics.  Unfortunately, there
doesn't seem to be a way to do that from the BIOS, at least
not the visible BIOS control settings.

Googling hasn't found any good suggests so far.
I've tried blacklist nouveau in both blacklist.conf
and in blacklist-nouvaeu.conf.  I also added rdblacklist=nouveau
to the kernel line in grub.conf.

One suggestion I've seen is to prm -e the nouveau driver.

Sorry, just noticed this message. Just filed it since I saw the same issue with

There is not an option in the BIOS because laptop manufacturers think 
you're going to use the operating system that was pre-installed. Optimus 
is not supported in any shape or form by nouvaeu or the NVIDIA 
proprietary driver.

In other words, you're screwed until someone reverse engineers it or 
NVIDIA supports it. Search for linux optimus to find dozens of other 
frustrated users.

2011-04-20 Thread Per Bothner
I followed the instructions here:
http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/2010/07/using-acpicall-module-to-switch-onoff.html
And they seemed to have worked - the laptop get now blessedly quiet, and the
indicator light switched to indicate the integrated graphics.
(The fan noise did come back after a bit, though.)

The main issue now is the slow/flakey bootup, hanging for
multiple minutes.  Plus it hangs trying to shutdown.
Hopefully that can be fixed.

Yes, if you limit yourself to i7-2620M.

If you want Lenovo T420 or T520 with i7-2720QM (or even just a i7-2630QM)
you have to get nvidia/optimus, unless there is some option I haven't found.

The W520 appears to be only available with nvidia.

And so it goes.  Trust me, I've done a lot of research and agonizing.

A word of caution about the Thinkpad x120e with AMD E-350 Fusion
processor and integrated ATI graphics; I managed to get F15 running on
it this week, after missing some of the previous test days because I
couldn't boot into the provided LiveCDs (needed to use a minimal boot
image from 2011-04-13 to partition the hard drive), but suspend / resume
results in flaky graphics (need to log out and log back in again after
resuming to give X a kick) and the Realtek wifi card reports a strong
connection, even though it seems to be unable to transmit most of the
time (the logs show no connection drops).

I plan to file bug reports, just have precious little time at the moment
to pull the formal info together and I haven't found any smoking guns in
the logs to date.

Public Service Announcement re 'Oh no! Something has gone wrong' screen in GNOME 3

2011-04-20 Thread Adam Williamson
Hey, all. If you're running F15 with updates and after a recent update
you find that you keep getting the Shell's 'Oh no! Something has gone
wrong' screen (informally known as the fail whale), check if you have
the packages gnome-shell-3.0.0.2-2.fc15 and gnome-menus-3.0.0-1.fc15
installed. This combination is bad and results in the above behaviour.
To fix it, update to gnome-menus-3.0.0-2.fc15 (it's in updates-testing,
or you can grab it from Koji).

Somehow, even though gnome-shell-3.0.0.2-2.fc15 and
gnome-menus-3.0.0-2.fc15 are part of the same update, gnome-shell got
into the F15 'stable' repo ahead of gnome-menus, so if you have the
updates-testing repo disabled you may have run into this. The releng
team is working to fix the bug that caused this to happen so it won't
hit future updates. They've now tagged the gnome-menus package into
stable, so once repos sync up, it won't be possible (or at least likely)
to hit this any more.

Google around using your laptop's model number. There are hacks for the
BIOSes for some systems to expose the option to isolate the Intel
chipset (this is the case for my laptop).

 Googling hasn't found any good suggests so far.

Nothing you can do at the OS level is going to force the BIOS to present
the Intel adapter rather than the NVIDIA one, I don't think. What does
lspci show - both the NVIDIA and the Intel adapter, or just the Intel
one?

I'm told that the conditions for the fail whale to hit are that anything
controlled by gnome-session crashes more than once within a short time
after session start. Generally, debugging starts by looking at
~/.xsession-errors to see what's crashing.

(Someone else noted you can actually close the fail whale screen with
alt-f4, to get a look behind it. Presumably this only works if mutter is
still up.)

  If this is a scripty thing perhaps it can be changed to mkdir -p
  If its c-code, then perhaps ignoring EEXIST from mkdir() call.

 Yes, if you limit yourself to i7-2620M.


Chips higher than the 2620M do not have Intel graphics (Ironlake) and so
they must have discreet video from either NVidia or ATI.

F-15 boot issues

2011-04-20 Thread Michael Schwendt
1) Yesterday an unattended reboot to F-15 went past the passphrase prompt
for my LUKS /home partition and ended in gdm with /home not being mounted.

Normal behaviour would have been for me to type in the passphrase,
because that's how it is set up in /etc/crypttab for this install.

The issue is not reproducible, and I boot into F-15 at least twice a day.
What could I look at if I ran into it again?


2) Partitions mounted twice:

$ mount|sort|uniq -d
/dev/mapper/luks-15465009-86ee-4a3c-a291-5a105ca148c4 on /home type ext4 
(rw,relatime,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ordered)
/dev/mapper/vg_faldor-Home on /home/misc15/mnt/sharedhome type ext3 
(rw,relatime,seclabel,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,barrier=0,data=ordered)


3) Occasionally, a booted F-15 shows a gdm screen where existing user
accounts are not displayed. Only 'Other' is available. I can use it to
log in, and using Cancel refreshes gdm to display the previously missing
users. Looks like there's a race condition somewhere.

Are you sure?  I thought the whole point of Optimus was to be able to switch
between integrated and discrete graphics - so there must be some Intel 
graphics.
The card that came with my laptop calls this Intel Integrated GPU.

Actually, that's not right. In Sandy Bridge generation, it might be a
thermal problem. 2620M is the highest part that stays inside the 35W
envelope which has been as high as Intel mobile parts have gone,
historically. It sure seems that companies are only shipping these 45W chips
with laptops that also have cooling assemblies for discreet graphics. Also,
in the T520 series, the motherboard is slightly different.

This sounds like:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695407

AIUI there's a timeout for encrypted partition mounting; if you don't
type a passphrase within the timeout it'll try and continue boot. I'm
not sure if there's a filter for 'essential' partitions; if there is, it
doesn't include /home. It'd be good if Lennart would provide some detail
on the intentions here in the bug report.

Oddly enough, I _think_ this is the intended behavior.  I had a similar
issue during Alpha, and it seems admins asked for a passphrase timeout
when activating any non-essential system partitions during boot.  The
timeout is in the minutes range, I forget if it's 1 or 3 minutes.  I'm
trying to re-familiarize myself with this issue, so don't quote me on
this yet! :)

Are you not encrypting your rootfs, or is the passphrase for the rootfs
and /home different such that you are always prompted for the /home
passphrase on boot?

 2) Partitions mounted twice:

 /dev/mapper/luks-15465009-86ee-4a3c-a291-5a105ca148c4 on /home type ext4

 (rw,relatime,seclabel,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,barrier=0,data=ordered)

Selinux sandbox (policycoreutils-sandbox) is responsible for making it
look like partitions are mounted twice.  Iirc, they are bind mounts.

 3) Occasionally, a booted F-15 shows a gdm screen where existing user
 accounts are not displayed. Only 'Other' is available. I can use it to

Meaning: Scroll down the updates e-mail and look at the cobbler

No, the entries are needed of course and are normal. Without them,
/home would not be mounted at all. ;)  Same for the other LV.

Again, let me clarify. I'm not talking about bytes. With compression 
these lines make up no significance of the updates metadata.

Is it useful to anyone wanting to test cobbler to see a 100+ line 
changelog that has no meaning?

What kind of impression are we giving Fedora users who read the bodhi 
update notes? We don't care about recording changes and just allow any 
kind of garbage into the update notes?

Will it take posting spam links in bodhi notes to see someone take action?

Is my point clear now?

# Time: 17:00 UTC [1] (13:00 EDT, 10:00 PDT, 10:00 MST)
# Location: #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net

Due to upcoming holidays, the second F15 Final blocker review meeting
will be this Thursday at 17:00 UTC in #fedora-bugzappers.  We'll review
proposed and accepted F-15 blocker bugs.  

As usual, an updated list of blocker bugs is available at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers.  The list of
bugs is also attached to this mail.  We'll be reviewing the bugs to
determine ...
 1. whether they meet the Final release criteria [2] and should stay
on the list
 2. are getting the attention they need

For guidance on Blocker and Nice-to-have (NTH) bugs, checkout ...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process and
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_nth_bug_process

== Suggested Meeting Preparation ==

Maintainers ...
  * If your bug is *not* MODIFIED ... this issue is at risk of
slipping the F15 Beta release date
  * If your bug is in MODIFIED ... please make sure a build with the
fix exists, and is available as a bodhi update.

Testers ...
  * If you REPORT a bug ... please be responsive to any requests for
additional information.
  * If a bug is in ON_QA ... please take a moment to apply the
update, and post karma feedback

I have been following this thread about the nvidia and nouveau problem.
I had the problem in my installation too until I installed using the
install with basic video drive the second choice down on the
installation choices page and I am having good success with my
installation. I installed the Beta release on a Dell 9400 Inspirion,
FX2500 video card, 4g Hyperx memory, T7700 processor.

Hard disk install from DVD image?

2011-04-20 Thread Tom Horsley
OK, I've been doing installs from the dvd image on hard disk
forever because they are faster and don't require fiddling with
actual media.

I just downloaded the x86_64 f15 beta DVD iso, and there is no
install.img file anymore that I used to have to copy to an
images subdir.

What is the new technique for doing a hard disk install? Have
anaconda options for pointing to the disk image changed
as well?

Or do I no longer need the install.img file and can go
back to just pointing to the iso image itself like I used
to do before things changed a while back?

This may the same effect as specifying nomodeset on the grub kernel line.
That seems to work - it boots fairly cleanly, with no long pause.

However, the downside is pretty bad: Maximum resolution of 1280x014,
and it doesn't detect an external display.

Multiple F15Beta bugs in under an hour

2011-04-20 Thread John Morris
Ok, downloaded the F15Beta live cd today.  Booted it on a Thinkpad X200s
docked with external display, keyboard and mouse + internal panel.

Guess I'll run the bugs by roughly in the order discovered.

Grub is the first one.  The external keyboard didn't work.  It does on
F12 which is the primary OS on the machine.

Lauching the file browser (nautilus?) and mousing over the available
mount points got a crash from gvfs.

Next bug is no debuginfo packages for key bits like glibc means no
automatic bug report from abrt was possible.  Guys, no debug packages
means no good reports, which is the whole point of a beta, right?

Cups is present and browsing is enabled but no printers show.  Lots of
printers are expected to show.  Nothing interesting in the logs.

My large display is to the left of the laptop.  This is correctable via
the GUI.  Making it the primary display isn't, xrandr is required to set
the primary display with 'xrandr --output HDMI2 --primary'  If the user
needs the terminal for something that basic, more baking needs doin'.

Invoking the sound config locks if you click on a default sound.  Quiet
repeating grunts are audible until it finally crashes for good and
again, abrt can't make a report.  Not sure yet if that is a kernel
problem, the eternal horror of pulseaudio or something new.  When I get
time I will poke around more and report.  Please don't be a kernel bug!
I have had to pass over F13 and F14 because of kernel bugs in undocking
if I have to skip F15 for sound I'm boned.  Pulseaudio I can remove.

Launch firefox and display the About popup.  Notice anything missing?
Yup, the only way to be rid of it is to stop FF and kill off
xulrunner-bin.  Or perhaps xkill?  Is this a window manager (mutter?)
bug?

And finally, good thing I read the mailing lists... otherwise I'd have
never guessed holding ALT down was the only way to shutdown or reboot.
What genius of user interface design thought that was a good idea?
REALLY?  Seriously, this is introducing a whole new idiom to user
interfaces that people have zero expectation of.  The choices presented
in a menu should not vary based on buckybits.  It violates decades of
user expectations.

Tom Horsley wrote:

Bingo! I just tried the experiment and it worked fine
just pointing to the iso image directory even with no
images subdir. (I'm glad I don't need to copy out images
any more, but I bet I won't be the last confused by this).

The install worked, though I haven't tried actually booting
it yet. A couple of impressions from the install:

Congratulations! You either finally disabled the screen
blanking during anaconda, or the install runs so fast that
the screen never got around to blanking itself.

Anaconda resizing itself to fill a 46 inch 1920x1080 HD TV
screen is a bit disconcerting. I think I liked the old
version where it just drew a small window in the middle
of the giant screen.

   Are you saying that ABRT didn't download debuginfo packages?  For a while
now (not just F15) debuginfo isn't installed at install time.  It just
automatically gets downloaded when ABRT tries to generate the backtrace and
it caches them in /var rather than installing them as full RPMs on the
system.  If ABRT didn't actually download the debugs that's actually a bug
and you probably should report it.

   Not that I specifically agree with it but popup windows like the about
window are dismissed with the Esc key rather than a close button.
Gnome-shell has some minimalistic design decisions in it which will take
some getting used to like the lack of a minimize button and the alt button
press for a shutdown.  That last one seems fine for desktops which I run
24x7 but not necessarily laptops which I tend to shutdown and pack away.

I think the OP has a good bead on this. It is rather silly to change
the paradigm (no close button on popups) and expect people to use the
ESC key instead. Use the ALT button to shut down? What kind of lunacy
is this? I can't believe it takes THAT much more code/CPU to implement
a close button and leave the shutdown mechanism alone regardless of how
minimalistic they want to be.

rant
This sounds like change for change's sake and makes no sense
whatsoever. The more I see of Gnome's silly decision making process,
the less confidence I have in them. Surely Red Hat has some pull with
these people. How about using a bit of it to quash these stupid plans?
Red Hat can't realistically expect a RHEL release based on F15 and this
sort of idiocy to fly with their customer base, do they? Seriously?

It tried to download and failed.  The failure dialog suggested running
'debuginfo-install gvfs'.  That also failed.  Apparently yum can't find
glibc-debuginfo and a couple others.

Personally I consider GNOME3 a regression.  After trying F15Alpha I went
ahead and switched my desktop to XFCE since I have zero desire to
relearn everything.  But I wanted to test the main release in the
interest of giving the best feedback.

Especially confusing since the window is still decorated with a thick
bar at the top implying that SOMETHING should be there.  Since they took
away all the buttons and the title they should go ahead and suppress the
bar.

GNOME3 is more like an experimental university project 'to explore what
we could do if we toss everything we know about existing user interfaces
and start from scratch!' and it is now poised to ship as the default UI
on one of the major Linux distros.  I have a very bad feeling about
this, suspect it will end badly.

 Ok, downloaded the F15Beta live cd today.  Booted it on a Thinkpad X200s

 Guess I'll run the bugs by roughly in the order discovered.
 
 Grub is the first one.  The external keyboard didn't work.  It does on
 F12 which is the primary OS on the machine.

Fileabug.

 Lauching the file browser (nautilus?) and mousing over the available
 mount points got a crash from gvfs.

Fileanother!

 Next bug is no debuginfo packages for key bits like glibc means no
 automatic bug report from abrt was possible.  Guys, no debug packages
 means no good reports, which is the whole point of a beta, right?

debuginfo packages are always generated in builds, they don't go
'missing'. We'd need much more detail on what you actually saw to figure
out what problem you had here.

 Cups is present and browsing is enabled but no printers show.  Lots of
 printers are expected to show.  Nothing interesting in the logs.

Did you set the firewall appropriately?

 My large display is to the left of the laptop.  This is correctable via
 the GUI.  Making it the primary display isn't, xrandr is required to set
 the primary display with 'xrandr --output HDMI2 --primary'  If the user
 needs the terminal for something that basic, more baking needs doin'.

It's not actually basic, because there's no way to reliably detect which
display should be the primary in any given configuration. But the
Display applet could probably stand having a button to do it, yeah.

 Invoking the sound config locks if you click on a default sound.  Quiet
 repeating grunts are audible until it finally crashes for good and
 again, abrt can't make a report.  Not sure yet if that is a kernel
 problem, the eternal horror of pulseaudio or something new.  When I get
 time I will poke around more and report.  Please don't be a kernel bug!
 I have had to pass over F13 and F14 because of kernel bugs in undocking
 if I have to skip F15 for sound I'm boned.  Pulseaudio I can remove.

That sounds like a hardware-specific kernel bug to me (PulseAudio
generally can't crash anything _that_ hard).

 Launch firefox and display the About popup.  Notice anything missing?
 Yup, the only way to be rid of it is to stop FF and kill off
 xulrunner-bin.  Or perhaps xkill?  Is this a window manager (mutter?)
 bug?

Or...the Esc key. This one's been reported already.

 And finally, good thing I read the mailing lists... otherwise I'd have
 never guessed holding ALT down was the only way to shutdown or reboot.
 What genius of user interface design thought that was a good idea?
 REALLY?  Seriously, this is introducing a whole new idiom to user
 interfaces that people have zero expectation of.  The choices presented
 in a menu should not vary based on buckybits.  It violates decades of
 user expectations.

The alternative was not having the Shut Down option at all, so be
careful what you wish for...=)

 Not that I specifically agree with it but popup windows like the about

  Gnome-shell has some minimalistic design decisions in it which will take
  some getting used to like the lack of a minimize button and the alt button
  press for a shutdown.  That last one seems fine for desktops which I run
  24x7 but not necessarily laptops which I tend to shutdown and pack away.
 
 I think the OP has a good bead on this. It is rather silly to change
 the paradigm (no close button on popups) and expect people to use the
 ESC key instead.

The expectation isn't that people should use Esc, it's that the dialog
should have a Close button. Check the About dialog for any GNOME app.

  FX2500 video card, 4g Hyperx memory, T7700 processor.
 
 This may the same effect as specifying nomodeset on the grub kernel line.
 That seems to work - it boots fairly cleanly, with no long pause.
 
 However, the downside is pretty bad: Maximum resolution of 1280x014,
 and it doesn't detect an external display.

Both of these result in use of the generic VESA driver.

It doesn't really work that way, bugs don't get fixed magically; they
get fixed when you experience them, investigate them, and file useful
reports, and Fedora's developers read the reports and go and fix the
code :) (and sometimes, yes, even that doesn't happen). the Beta status
isn't _terribly_ relevant here, there's no guarantee this will be fixed
in Final; the more detailed info you're able to provide in a good bug
report, the more likely our nouveau developers can fix it.

If the expectation is that 100% of applications will conform to Gnome UI
standards, there is only one word that comes to mind.  Delusion.  

Firefox being one of the better examples.  It is a port, Moz doesn't
really give a darned what Linux users need.  Almost all of their users
and most of the developers are on Windows.  It will be almost as hard
for Gnome to impose their UI notions on KDE app developers.

Bumping in the hopes of getting feedback before we revisit this bug as a
blocker tomorrow. If we don't have any cases of users being dumped to an
empty gdm after failed autologin on a live image, it is likely to stay NTH.

Re: nvidia/nouveau problem

2011-04-20 Thread Per Bothner
I think I have a simple work-around: Just remove nouvaeu.ko from
/lib/modules/  Seems to work great: No weird errors or
slowness booting.  I can use the full laptop resolution *and*
attach an external monitor over HDMI.  Suspend/resume works fine.

I'm not sure yet how robust it is.  (Besides having to remove nouvaeu.ko
each time the kernel is updated.)   Some subsequence reboots
hang, but that may be unrelated - I haven't figured out the
pattern yet.

Booting from the latest GNOME3 test day i686 live image yesterday, this happened
to me once. I haven't been able to reproduce it after several reboots on the
same machine, though.

Quite possibly you may achieve the same effect by addind a file
/etc/modprobe.d/nouvaeu.conf with 

   blacklist nouvaeu

in it (unless this module is loaded behind a modprobe back).
Possibly you need to rebuild initramfs after such change.

 I'm not sure yet how robust it is.  (Besides having to remove nouvaeu.ko
 each time the kernel is updated.)

If it works then you do not have to remove/rename anything.
