[Bug 1926760] [NEW] display is flickering and not responsive from login screen

2021-04-30 Thread Gonçalo Gomes
Public bug reported:

display is flickering and not responsive from login screen, before even
typing anything.

This happens with kernels newer than 5.8.0-48-generic, i.e  -49 and -50.

On the occasion I was able to boot in, I was using a recovery mode and
display was deemed unknown. I am not sure if this is because of recovery
mode settings.

[Bug 1072206] Re: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent

2016-12-13 Thread Gonçalo Gomes
I'm still experiencing similar behaviour, now without the proprietary
driver and on ubuntu 16.04. If I am using a video player such as
mplayer, the issue is easily reproducible. Happy to help, seeing as I
seem to be able to trigger this almost on demand.

The only information from perf I found was just this line, which I
believe I copied from the `perf top` but not particularly convinced this
will be of much help, but hopefully it may be useful in correlating any
existing

[Bug 1615304] Re: running the atom editor and pressing alt-tab causes compiz to freeze and crash

2016-08-21 Thread Gonçalo Gomes
I managed to reproduce this under the debugger, however it took several
tries for it to reproduce, suggesting this may be a possible race
condition.

Furthermore, I have noticed the bug shows itself in the form of either

(1) mouse moves, but no screen updates. A crash ensues within 5-10 seconds
(2) no mouse moves or screen updates. No crash, compiz remains using 100% of 
cpu (1 core) on the faulting thread.

I gathered some output from gdb and top:

  3) What you expected to happen
  
  I expected ctrl-tab to switch me to a different window.
  
  4) What happened instead
  
  The environment freezes, despite mouse still moving. No application or
  item in the windowing system responds and ultimately compiz crashes (~5
  seconds later), leading up to black screen followed by a default
  graphical login prompt.
  
  This bug is fully reproducible in my environment and I'm eager to help
- debug it. If I find time, I might begin the investigation.
+ debug it.

[Bug 1072206] Re: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent

2016-01-09 Thread Gonçalo Gomes
I seem to be reproducing this bug or similar on Ubuntu 14.04, using
gnome-panel (gnome classic) + compiz, gtx 600 (driver: nvidia-352.63).
The comments in #80 and #79 hit close to home.

I can reproduce it easily by running 'mplayer video' and pressing alt-
tab. This renders compiz unusable and cpu usage for compiz goes to 100%
usage and stays as such until killed.  Occasionally compiz will crash
instead of hanging, but I think there may be some specific
interactions/key presses, part of my futile attempts at recovering the
session while not fully unusable (even if it's already going berzerk by
then) that causes it to end up crashing rather than hanging.

FWIW, I've  Attached gdb backtrace of all threads.  I also recorded the
perf  events for compiz after reproducing the issue using mplayer.

Alternatively, I have noticed that this started to happen more
frequently when I began to use more than one firefox window open (I
don't think tab count matters much as I've always been a tab hoarder and
I have reduced substantially now). I did experience similar behavior
with flash based multimedia content in full screen and alt-tab to switch
back to the browser. It does not reproduce easily tough.

This behavior started to be noticed about 3 months ago (could be less,
could be more, I can't be any more precise, I'm afraid)

Would be great to root cause it and I am happy to help.
