[Bug 813745] [NEW] page allocation failure, truecrypt hangs when copying large files
Public bug reported: Since I upgraded from maverick to natty, I observe hangs of truecrypt when copying a number of large files (6 files, ~6 GB) to a truecrypt NTFS partition on an external eSATA drive. I can also reproduce the problem with dd. In the logs I see stuff like this: Jul 19 22:14:05 carbon kernel: [16293.933122] SLUB: Unable to allocate memory on node -1 (gfp=0x20) Jul 19 22:14:05 carbon kernel: [16293.933125] cache: kmalloc-8192, object size: 8192, buffer size: 8192, default order: 3, min order: 1 Jul 19 22:14:05 carbon kernel: [16293.933128] node 0: slabs: 144, objs: 576, free: 0 Jul 19 22:14:05 carbon kernel: [16293.933146] skbuff alloc of size 3904 failed Jul 19 22:14:05 carbon kernel: [16294.022193] tail: page allocation failure. order:1, mode:0x4020 (more in the attached logs) Also, a truecrypt hang is reported: Jul 19 23:05:37 carbon kernel: [ 1320.651644] INFO: task truecrypt:3186 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

It seems the system is running out of memory (4GB laptop), so I found the suggestion to raise the parameter vm.min_free_kbytes. This was set to ~7 MB initially, raising it to 131072 prevents the problem from happening. It also seems to raise the IO throughput to the truecrypt device slightly (between 10-20%), the copy process stops less often.

[Bug 677694] Re: Firefox Crashes X
I think this is a bug in xserver-xorg-video-intel since I saw this on 2 machines using the Intel i3-Clarkdale-CPU-integrated graphics. I upgraded the driver package from xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.12.0-1ubuntu5.1 to xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.13.901-2ubuntu2. This solves the problem for me. The new package comes from the natty repostitory and can be found here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/amd64/xserver-xorg-video-intel/2:2.13.901-2ubuntu2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/677694 Title: Firefox Crashes X -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 677694] Re: Firefox Crashes X
I think rapidshare changed their page, it doesn't crash X any more. To reproduce the problem I created an archive kill_X.tar.gz which crashes firefox each time. It contains a downloaded ebay HTML page. Just open the HTML-File from the archive an scroll down. In Opera I can see that it is obviously scrolling text which causes this behaviour. ** Attachment added: archive to reproduce the problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/677694/+attachment/1779486/+files/kill_X.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/677694 Title: Firefox Crashes X -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same problem here, can reproduce the problem here: Config: Maverick, Firefox 3.6.13, Intel CPU graphics (Optimus graphics). How to reproduce: Open Firefox, enter www.rapidshare.com in the address bar and press enter. On my Laptop, this always drops me back to the login screen immediately.

[Bug 282536] Re: LIBATA with PATA_VIA causes ATAPI PATA devices to hang with HPET enabled
I've got the same chip in an Asus board. Ubuntu fails to boot whenever I've got a second optical drive connected (hangs very early in device detection). In Jaunty, the workaround hpet=disable works, but in lucid it does'nt any more, other sources make me believe the parameter disappeared. The only workaround for me is to disable the APIC 2.0 stuff in my BIOS. -- LIBATA with PATA_VIA causes ATAPI PATA devices to hang with HPET enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
