[Bug 1853357] Re: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland
I tested with a Dell D3100 dock and two monitors connected to the dock via HDMI in addition to laptop built-in screen. I did this on Ubuntu 19.10 with the libmutter fix from eoan-proposed (libmutter-5-0 package version 3.34.3-1ubuntu1~19.10.1). I tried unplugging and hotplugging each HDMI cable individually and together. I tried hotplugging and unplugging the dock itself (USB). I tried booting with the dock connected, and booting with the dock disconnected then hotplugged. With all three monitors on, I left one glxgears running on one DisplayLink output and the laptop screen each, and a terminal printing the fps on the other DL output for 10 minutes. Then I changed the refresh rate of one DL output to 50 Hz and the other DL output to 75 Hz, confirmed from the monitors themselves to actually run with those refresh rates, and left things running for a couple of minutes more. (Everything defaulted to 60 Hz before.) I was unable to reproduce any kind of freeze. However, I did notice that with three monitors, gnome-control-center Display settings is crash-happy if any monitor was disabled. But that is off-topic here, because even that did not cause anything to freeze. I did also observe the "outdated content" issue I referred to in my earlier comment here. That should be fixed in EVDI kernel module once DisplayLink releases an update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853357 Title: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1853357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Unfortunately I have no idea why something is or is not shipped in Focal. Sorry, I did not understand from the above that you cannot build the driver package's EVDI module or library on 20.04. Can you point me to the displaylink.com discussions if those happen to be public? I'm curious. I can still give it a try on Ubuntu 19.10 to see if I can trigger any kind of freeze with two monitors plugged in via DisplayLink. According to https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/mutter Focal today has libmutter based on 3.34.3 upstream release which already contains backported patches from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/953 , so this would be something else.

You say that the library and kernel module in Ubuntu are older than the ones from DisplayLink.com. Can you explain why the current versions of the module and library aren't being shipped in Focal? I'm afraid I can't test any further in 19.10 since I've already upgraded both of my laptops to 20.04. :-( And I can't test the kernel module and library from the DisplayLink.com release in 20.04 because (as noted above) they don't build successfully. I've been in contact with the DisplayLink.com folks and they say that they are working on an updated release for 20.04. So perhaps at this point all that I can do is wait for that to come out and then retest eveything and we can figure out what to do from there if there are still issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853357 Title: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1853357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1853357] Re: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland
Then the main issue: freezes. Do I understand correctly, that so far the freezes have only happened when you have had two monitors attached to the DisplayLink dock? Never with just one monitor? Which DisplayLink dock do you have? You said changing the display configuration is a sure way to freeze? What do you do exactly, something in GNOME display settings or plugging cables or? I doubt the HDMI vs. DVI or monitor brand/model would have an effect here, so I think you can leave testing those details for later. For now, I would like us to concentrate on Ubuntu 19.10, and the full DisplayLink driver package 5.2.14 which includes the EVDI kernel module and libevdi0. Verify what version of libmutter-5-0 package you have installed exactly. If it's older than the one mentioned here to contain the fix I thought would help, try to get that updated. Let me know what version you have, I can have a go at reproducing the freeze. When your machine freezes, can you access it from a remote, e.g. via ssh? If you can, you could first take a look at the process list: are gnome- shell and DisplayLinkManager running? Do they consume CPU? The next step would be installing a bunch of dbgsym packages and attaching GDB to gnome-shell when it's frozen to see where it is at. Do you know how to do that? ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/issues #909 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/issues/909 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853357 Title: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1853357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1853357] Re: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland
What comes to the EVDI dkms version, the official DisplayLink driver 5.2.14 package contains EVDI 1.6.2. The release notes just write it out as v1.5.0-r1-76 (a1e1135), but that sha1 refers to 1.6.2 and the code between the official package and the 1.6.2 tag for the kernel module is identical. So I think the ones shipped in Ubuntu/Debian are older than the DisplayLink's own. I see that the Ubuntu evdi 1.6.0+dfsg-1ubuntu2 (the version I see in Ubuntu 19.10) contains some patches on top of 1.6.0, but none of those are GNOME Wayland related fixes found in 1.6.2. OTOH, it seems 1.6.2 already contains all the patches that Ubuntu adds. This probably makes no difference to your issues, but I'd prefer to stick to the DisplayLink official version to avoid confusion on what is actually being tested. 1.6.3 and 1.6.4 exist too, they have one patch each to libevdi0. I cannot off-hand say if those might be relevant or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853357 Title: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1853357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1853357] Re: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland
Hi Jonathan, you seem to be having several different issues here, so I'll try to address them individually. First the slow updates, you wrote: "screen updates to the DisplayLink monitor are Extremely Slow. Like I am typing in a terminal window and it sometimes takes a second or two between when I type something and when the results of the typing show up in the terminal. If I move the same terminal window onto the built-in laptop display the lag goes away." Slow updates could be one of two things: either the copying of content to DisplayLink itself is slow, or DisplayLink is showing outdated content. To understand which one it is, you could try running 'glxgears' (or any program that animates continuously and reports fps) on the DisplayLink output and then see if the same slowness with a terminal still happens. If the issue is outdated content, then 'glxgears' by forcing repeated output updates should have the side-effect of making the slowness go away. Also glxgears should report the expected monitor refresh rate as fps (for a 60 Hz monitor I'd expect 58 - 60 fps). Your overall system CPU consumption could be somewhat high, but I would not expect any CPU core to be maxed out. If the issue is bad performance in copying the content, then running glxgears should not make the slowness disappear. Instead, glxgears should report very low fps, and your system CPU usage may or may not be high. It would be interesting to know if you have any CPU cores maxed out busy. In any case, I think we should talk about the slowness in a new bug report. Please, point me to it, if you file one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853357 Title: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1853357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1853357] Re: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland
OK, so additional data... 19.10 also doesn't hang when I use the kernel module and library that ship with Ubuntu, so apparently the problem which prompted me to report this bug is limited to when using the kernel module and library that are installed by the installer on DisplayLink.com. I'm not sure how to proceed with that knowledge, though, because the installer on DisplayLink.com doesn't offer an option of _not_ installing its own kernel module and library, and indeed, I believe it complains if the Ubuntu ones are installed and demands that you uninstall them. So while I was able to hack the installer to avoid that, I'm not sure there's a good end-user solution. The issue remains that the responsiveness of the DisplayLink displays is exceedingly poor. This is a maze of twisty little passages and I'm not really sure how to proceed. There are clearly things that need to be improved but I'm not sure how to classify or report them, which makes me tempted to just throw up my hands and give up, which would not be the best outcome. :-/ Some guidance? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853357 Title: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1853357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1853357] Re: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland
With Ubuntu 19.10: I am not able to reproduce the issue with a single monitor of a different brand plugged into the DisplayLink adapter. There are three differences here and I don't have the equipment available where I am right now to narrow down which of them is relevant: * one monitor instead of two; * different brand and dimensions of monitor; and * I'm only using the HDMI plug on the DisplayLink adapter, not the DVI plug. However, one thing I do observe with this configuration -- which again, doesn't crash -- is that screen updates to the DisplayLink monitor are Extremely Slow. Like I am typing in a terminal window and it sometimes takes a second or two between when I type something and when the results of the typing show up in the terminal. If I move the same terminal window onto the built-in laptop display the lag goes away. The update lag does not occur when I use Xorg instead of Wayland. Attempting to test Ubuntu 20.04 on same laptop booting from Thumb drive: Live CD user doesn't support Wayland. Tried creating new user, Wayland wasn't available for that user either. Of course DisplayLink stuff isn't installed either, so the laptop doesn't actually notice the DisplayLink display when I plug it in. So to make this test work I would have to figure out how to install Wayland in the running live image and install the DisplayLink stuff too. The DisplayLink stuff I can figure out, but not sure about how to enable Wayland sessions in the live image. Attempting to test Ubuntu 20.04 on a slightly different laptop: I upgraded a spare laptop to Ubuntu 20.04, managed to get DisplayLink installed onto it (I had to tweak the installer package not to compile and install the dkms modules and to use the ones that ship with Ubuntu instead), and tested it. Again, keep in mind that in my current setup I'm unable to reproduce the hanging issue, but I did reproduce the display lag. Next steps: 1. On the laptop where I encountered the hanging issue, I am using the evdi kernel module and library that are shipped with the DisplayLink reference implementation release from last July, rather than the newer module and library that are included in Ubuntu. I need to reinstall evdi on that laptop using the tweak I mentioned above for 20.04, so that I am using the Ubuntu version of the module and library with 19.10, to see if the problem persists. I.e., the crashing issue may resolve if I use the evdi kernel module and library that ship with Ubuntu. 2. If not, then test various configurations and try to identify which of the factors above triggers the issue (one monitor vs. two; brand and dimensions of monitor; HDMI vs. DVI plug in adapter). 3. Test whether I am able to reproduce the issue in 20.04 on the spare laptop with the monitor configuration with which I encountered the issue in 19.10. 4. Try to figure out how to install and enable both Wayland and the DisplayLink manager in a running Live CD session so that I can test with the laptop that I know has encountered this issue in the past. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853357 Title: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1853357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1853357] Re: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland
Sorry, I'm usually remote from the office where I have the displaylink adapter which has this problem, so I was not able to test until I got to the office instead. I installed all updates in eoan-proposed and rebooted and then tried logging into a Wayland session and using the displaylink adapter, and the behavior hasn't changed: my display and perhaps my whole computer hangs within a minute or two of starting to use the displaylink adapter. Changing the display configuration consistently triggers the hang. This isn't fixed. ** Tags removed: verification-done verification-done-eoan ** Tags added: verification-failed-eoan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853357 Title: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1853357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This will hopefully be fixed by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/953 . Yes, using the vendor driver package is required, because it contains DisplayLinkManager program (proprietary and closed source) for driving the DisplayLink USB 3 devices. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853357 Title: display (whole computer?) hangs when I attempt to use DisplayLink with Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1853357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
