I, too, would be grateful for simple instructions as to how to get the latest test releases for Lucid. In Lucid I find that I cannot add https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/graphics-testing to sources. When I try to do that via the gui, it asks for 'the complete APT line' including the type, location and components. When I type the above in, 'Add Source' is greyed out.

[Bug 456902] Re: [i845g] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in
Being an Ubuntu newbie, I'm afraid that the discussion has gotten a bit too technical for me recently and has lost me somewhere on the way. I understand an official fix for this won't be available for some time. The ppa, however, has served me quite well on my Dell Inspiron 1100 with Karmic. With the increasing excitement about the release of Lucid, I'd like to upgrade my machine but am wary that I might get freezes again. Thus my question, is there also a separate ppa for Lucid (or do I just add the same source??) that will most likely do the same job for me (if so what do I need to add)? Or can I only try and see?

[Bug 456902] Re: [i845g] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in
For information, here is something useful, frustrating, but also encouraging on the Ubuntu discussions list about this bug. it's importance (is) high, has had an upstream developer participating, and an awesome member of the x-swat team providing PPA testing packages. The fact that it remains unfixed is not due to any lack of work on it! The X team have been monitoring this, and other similar problems - the i8xx chips have not had a good time of Lucid. As you see on that bug there has been lots of work upstream to isolate and fix the cause. Tracking the various upstream bugs you'll see that there have been a number of false starts, but it looks like there *might* be a fix soon. That fix won't be going into Lucid's release, as it's a big patch which touches code for all the Intel cards, and hence might introduce new problems in the i9xx chips. If all goes well, this might make it into lucid-updates and 10.04.1. Because of the serious stability issues i845 and i855 users have been reporting we're testing disabling both 3D and KMS on these chips. If feedback shows that this still isn't stable, we've got a fallback plan to switch to vesa on those cards, which has been reported stable. That's a serious functionality regression, but might be necessary to provide a sufficiently stable desktop. In this case, users will be able to manually enable the -intel driver, KMS, and 3D if they wish - these bugs are incredibly timing-specific, with some setups crashing almost immediately after starting X, and others crashing less than once a week. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list -- [i845g] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 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

That experimental kernel (2.6.34-rc3-51.1~karmic) didn't do it for me: my i855 froze up during login.

Flabdablet, any console switching issues are most likely separate bugs that have already been fixed in newer versions. Only random freezing during general use is important.

Somewhat works if I disable modeset (nomodeset) and use vesa, but it's at the limit of usability, if I try to switch between text mode console and X the graphic screen freezes up and only the text console works (if I switch back).

Just to clarify: I've had text console switching misbehaviour both times I've tried driver version 2:2.7.0-jaunty1. It's not a complete X freeze: the keyboard stays responsive, I can see the monitor turning its backlight off and on as I attempt to switch screens, and the monitor's OSD reports 1024x768 as it should. But the only way I've found to restore a non-black text or GUI screen is to reboot - restarting gdm doesn't do it. Do you think this is related to the freeze we're chasing?

Kernel 2.6.31-20-generic Status update: Put testing aside for a time pursuant to a stable platform via the following work-arounds: 1) Created simple xorg.conf to select vesa driver. Acceptable performance with marked stability improvement (i.e., no freezing). Note: Used Xorg -configure to generate baseline xorg.conf - Xorg failed to start using this file. After a bit of cut paste all was well. 2) Installed xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4 per the instructions of ReinhardTartler (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4). Screen was improperly sized/positioned during startup. Included Modeline and Option PreferredMode in xorg.conf. Startup issues resolved, performance acceptable, no freezing. 3) Installed safe configuration per the instructions of pyske83 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582). Added device options (including Tiling false) to the xorg.conf file of item 2 above. No startup issues, acceptable performance. Selected GLMatrix screensaver which ran over 12 hours w/ no freezing. System has been running over 18 hours w/ no freezing. Glxgears performance: glxgears frame update rate was 125-150 fps for all of the work-arounds cited previously. Previously, the glxgears frame update rate was 280-300 fps. Note: psyke83 (see reference) urged caution regarding interpretation of glxgears performance metrics. Note: During my research I read numerous forum and/or mailing list entries from individuals stating that they had or were about to abandon Ubuntu Linux because of this issue.

No freeze so far, but I can't switch to a text console - any attempt gives me a black screen, after which I can't get the GUI back. Keyboard and (presumably) mouse still fully operational - I can successfully log in blind to a text console and issue a reboot command. Doing /etc/init.d/gdm restart via ssh causes processes I know are running in the GUI (e.g. Firefox) to disappear, and the appropriate restart sounds, but the screen stays black.

Re: [Bug 456902] Re: [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in
Hello,
My experience with the graphics-fixes PPA was similar to flabdablet's --
unusably slow. In the 10 or so minutes it took to login and start a browser,
I got no actual freezes; just 30-to-60-second response delays for each mouse
click. With everything running at 1/100th usual speed, it might've taken
weeks to decide whether the driver was stable. (it usually takes a few hours
of use) Unfortunately I needed to use the machine so I did a hard reboot
reverted to regular Karmic.
Details: I used the graphics-fixes PPA starting from a regular Karmic, to
which I've reverted:
Intel 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02)
libdrm1-intel1 2.4.14-1ubuntu1
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2.1
libgl1-mesa-{glx,dri} 7.6.0-1ubuntu4
linux-{image,headers}-2.6.31-19-generic 2.6.31-19.56
(The unusably slow PPA kernel was
linux-{image,headers}-2.6.31-50-generic 2.6.31-50.58)

After noticing in Xorg.0.log that 2.8.0 used UXA by default while 2.7.0 was picking EXA, I added Option AccelMethod UXA to the Device section in xorg.conf and reinstalled 2.7.0.

I have a kernel patch for people to try. It works around the x11perf freeze, and I'm curious if it prevents random freezing as well. Kernels with this patch, for both Karmic and Lucid, are available in a separate PPA of mine, graphics-fixes: https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/graphics-fixes When you add this PPA and reload, a new kernel version will be available, linux-image-2.6.31-50-generic for Karmic or linux- image-2.6.32-50-generic for Lucid. It won't be an update to an existing kernel, so you'll have to pick it and install it manually. Testing will be most interesting without the packages from graphics-testing, so run this command to remove that: sudo ppa-purge ppa:brian-rogers/graphics-testing Note that the patch in this new kernel is a workaround and may impair performance in certain specific scenarios.

It also froze once while attempting to launch gedit on another identical box (I'm trying to set up a batch of elderly school computers for cost-recovery resale). One freeze might be a mere Disturbance in the Force, but two is Bug Still Here. Would like to try 6:2.8.1-1 but too incompetent to find the .deb. -- [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 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

The system deletes old packages after a while, so that one isn't available any more. But now I sent in a build of 2.8.0, which will get built when it works its way through the queue. You've been having a lot of luck reproducing the hang, which is good, but I want to double-check that you're indeed getting a graphics hang and not something else. When it hangs, can you still move the mouse cursor? -- [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 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
[Bug 456902] Re: [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in
Mouse cursor moves, but clicks are ignored and keyboard is locked up (caps/num lock produce no change in status LEDs, ctrl-alt-Fn doesn't work). Disk activity continues. If a freeze is going to happen, it will most often be right when an app is in the process of opening a new window. I'm using Metacity as desktop effects cannot be enabled (is Intel 845 blacklisted for Compiz? haven't followed this up). Alt-SysRq-R E I S U will cause some disk activity at each keystroke and *very* occasionally produce a black screen but B never reboots; only holding in the power button will do that. Have not yet tried ssh since none of these boxes have openssh-server installed, but can do so if you need further confirmation that this is the same freeze pattern as initially reported. -- [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 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

Hi Flabdablet, Just curious, does your desktop clock change time (update) during your freeze? -- [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 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

I've just installed 11:2.8.0, and if it freezes I will watch the desktop clock for a minute and let you know. -- [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 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
[Bug 456902] Re: [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in
I now have two of these boxes on the same bench, both with 11:2.8.0 installed. The one I'm using to try to get today's work done is running sshd, and the other one is running top on it via ssh. I have pressed Murphy's Law into service to help these boxes freeze if they're going to freeze, by also installing 11:2.8.0 on all the boxes that will be moved out to the shed today for resale to school parents.

[Bug 456902] Re: [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in
Thanks, Murphy. Love your work. 11:2.8.0 froze while using Firefox to compose a Gmail. As usual the mouse cursor remained movable (though stuck in the I-beam shape from the compose window, this time) but no response to clicks or keyboard. The desktop clock didn't update. The top listing on the other computer (in an ssh session to this one) did continue to update. When I quit top and tried sudo service gdm stop there was a password prompt, then a ~20 second wait, then a message reading gdm stop/waiting but the display on the frozen computer remained frozen. Issuing sudo reboot from the ssh session rebooted the frozen computer. Please, sir, could I have an even older one? -- [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 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

2.8.99.901-16-g7e7db7a just got done building. If you could verify if that version also freezes, it'd be a good sanity check. I'm going to upload a version between 2.8.99.901-5-g57fc09c and 2.8.99.901-12-g2cc1f3c now, and it might take an hour or so to build. -- [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 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

2.8.99.901-16-g7e7db7a froze fairly quickly, as expected (playing Klondike, fwiw).
