subject:"\[Bug 1803848\] Re\: Playing video on chrome freezes frequently \(Too slow to catch up\)"

Sorry, just one thing more. If you look at my description, that it's a
complex problem, and what the chromium bug says is not completely right.

I was able to use my GPU with chromium dev version (with a plugin to
force youtube to h264) and the flickering didn't disappear.

I think the problem is two-sided, one, why ubuntu installed nvidia
driver onto a non-nvidia machine. Second why I feel that inactivity
causes the flickering issues? It was a nightmare also that the system-
udev didn't realize that the nvidia driver would like to crap my amd
card. (and seriously almost killed half of my laptop monitor with that
lines (i saw what you can on a very old crap monitor))

To me, it seemed regarding what the mouse move felt when the playback just 
stopped for seconds,
that like reloading whole driver or renewing wifi periodically which did happen 
exactly in syslog. Some has been solved some of them not.

So even if the chromium bug is definitely there I would reconsider that
the problem is really related to what you have established. I think it's
3-4 more issues combined, and that's why I have commented a lot. I just
tried to resolve the problems individually.

My feeling is that while playing video is simply reloading my driver
because of inactivity, and that's why even the mouse movement stuck for
a moment. (scrolling whatever)

[Bug 1803848] Re: Playing video on chrome freezes frequently (Too slow to catch up)

Sometimes the CPU is on a too high level, that it's crashing the whole
ubuntu, and when I'm restarting, half of the screen contains lines, so I
need to restart again.

Can I ask you one thing? Would you deliberately kill my graphics card,
so I need to buy a new one?

If something is not accessing something, it shouldn't go to a never-
ending loop. The computer is still running and alive.

WIFI is unusable when I'm connecting with ubuntu directly. When I'm
connecting with my phone and using the usb tethering is much more
stable. Unfortunately, even if I set Xperia always on, it seems at some
point it's disconnecting, even if the stream is trying to load the next
batch.

With usb tethering, Xperia disconnects rarely even if the screen is
inactive (blank on the phone) than in Ubuntu, even if the screen is
active.

at flickering - cpu was on 20-30%.

With the dev version of chrome and using h264ify, so the gpu has been
used with youtube, cpu goes under 10%, but the flickering persists.
HD5500 hasn't any gpu hardware acceleration, only the secondary card,
which only appears when mesa installed. (AMD M260 Topaz)

with GPU flickering hasn't been solved. The HD5500 using a different set

[Bug 1803848] Re: Playing video on chrome freezes frequently (Too slow to catch up)

I have identified at power management at least 5 critical bug in the
last 3 years which hasn't been solved. For example one year before my
battery lifetime showed 4 hours, now just 2 hours. 2 years before 2
hours. So in the middle of the time frame something has been fixed and
after that the fix has been reverted.

I have removed also the diagram from my top bar, which shows the cpu
usage. (as I have read forums, that 120HZ might kill something in Ubuntu
while animating - that one solved the system-ud hog - as a process
hasn't locked something right away, with a delayed chrome start, the
system was more stable)

system-ud cpu hog and flickering issues are unrelated, as when i
restarted the system-ud, and it did disappear from the top 20 process,
flickering issues didn't disappear, just less frequently happened, if I
restarted the chrome browser. (unfortunately my chrome browser is the
first program, what i tend to open and does not stop, even if i work 14
hours a day)

[Bug 1803848] Re: Playing video on chrome freezes frequently (Too slow to catch up)

I can't really test dns throttling, so the answer is no.

Latest experiences on this tricky issue. I had problems with prover
management in years time.

WIFI is unusable (using usb tethering), so and it's kept
"disconnecting". (disconnecting mean, that it's connected, but the
connection dies (locks the chrome tab, even if I'm kept pushing the
refresh button - if I open a new tab many times the responsiveness comes
back again) unlike xperia phone, where even if the wifi is disconnected
at some point not so frequently, the tab does not die, connecting back,
right away will get the connection and update the page, if it's
necessary)

Upgraded mesa on daily basis, and it was getting worse.

I have disabled the dimming (power management), and the problem seemed
to be disappeared for a while.

When I'm opening chrome before packageit process is finishing its job.
(so right away after I see the default desktop screen), I'm more likely
getting system-ud cpu hog (50-100%), and flickering issues. When I'm
restarting with it, system-ud does not appear on the top 30 processes.

When I restarted my chrome browser (the initial ubuntu loading has been
finished - no CPU usage - 1-2%), the flickering issue has not happened
that frequently.

I have disabled also screensavers. (i had to install the program to
disable it)

It seems to happen on full screen only and sometimes I have a feeling
that the ubuntu is just stopping after some inactivity period, as my
wifi is gone in the background. (unfortunately even if I set wifi always
on xperia, it seems disconnecting the wifi, but not that frequently, and
when i'm activating the xperia again goes back - but in this case wifi
should be always active)

I think it's something with the power management, what I felt so buggy
in the last couple of years. (the only thing which has been resolved,
that from hibernate mode it's not corrupting my ubuntu anymore, and
doesn't make cpu hog also)

It's very hard to really figure out when the problem happens, but I do
think it's nothing to do with mesa, it's something else, which keep
killing the mesa.

The voice was steadily working, just every 5-10 sec video playback
stopped for 3 sec. It's the worst case scenario.

[Bug 1803848] Re: Playing video on chrome freezes frequently (Too slow to catch up)

Ok, i have tracked down the issue, for later reference, you can read it:
https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/08/how-to-enable-hardware-accelerated.html
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1066105/how-to-install-amd-graphic-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04

First of all, i have two cards in my machine HD5500 - R7 M260 (Topaz)

Unfortunately ubuntu 18.04.1 does not pick up mesa at default, and it needs to
be installed separately.
It was installed before, but the official amd-gpu was a crap, i was not able to
login, so i installed the linux and amd-gpu version back and forth, and with
bionic beaver it just didn't happen automatically.

When the ubuntu 18.04 upgrade was coming, my GPU card was disappeared
very likely. I do remember that it was there on the lspci list.

The post was right, vp8/vp9 hardware acceleration just not supported by
my card (i had to instal the h264ify plugin), and i had to install
latest dev chromium to make some progress.

Now my CPU is not used at all, steady 6%, however neither ubuntu nor
latest released chrome is not there yet to avoid tweaking.

This youtube video is a very good test on 1080p, on chrome it simply kills my
PC:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqeW9_5kURI

Although my CPU is not used at all, the lagging hasn't disappeared.
I think when it's buffering the CPU goes high. (30-40%)

I have read also about some VPN throttling.

I'm not just using youtube. I have made the apport-collect

** Description changed:

Latest update of ubuntu made some strange problems:

system-udev made a high CPU usage on nvidia, i have made a restart on
the udev, thus i have decided to bleach it and run the following
commands:

sudo systemctl start systemd-udevd systemd-udevd-kernel.socket
systemd-udevd-control.socket
sudo systemctl stop systemd-udevd systemd-udevd-kernel.socket
systemd-udevd-control.socket

It solved some of the flickering problem, but it did not disappear.

I'm running on 120Hz, sometimes the screen resolution has been changed
so quickly on boot, that i have noticed lines at the bottom of my
screen. (like in a bad monitor) Why ubuntu needs to change that so
frequently, it just amortize the graphics card.

The real issue is that my video playback youtube / scolling main site of
origo.hu (local news portal) etc. flickering frequently. It is too slow
to catch up. Suddenly stops, and after 2-3 seconds it restarts.

It only happens on chrome seems to me, and does not happen when i disabling
gpu.
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=906861#c8

As a matter of fact, my CPU usage is not that much with or without gpu,
so on gnome-shell some optimization needs to happen.

Why i have GPU acceleration, if the gnome-shell swallows the benefit?

On firefeox it does not happen, but the WebConsole CPU usage is 3 times
more than in chrome. (70-80% on a full hd video, which is burning up all
my cpu time, so it cannot be the solution to jump to firefox)

Other thing is that the cooler less frequently making noise without gpu,
even if the CPU has got higher load. If the cooler is running on high
frequency, i hardly able to work.

The non-accelerated Chrome CPU usage is half of the accelerated firefox
cpu usage.

I have posted the problem on both side, because i have a feeling there
is problem at the middle, how ubuntu and chrome corporates with each
other.

Visual studio code also has some high CPU problem while scrolling,
cooler makes noise.

To me seems that it does matter whether the gpu makes the heat or the cpu
regarding to cooling insensitivity.
