[Bug 541492] Re: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?)
Note that the upstream 845G bug report has been reopened. It turned out that the fixes (which are contained in Brian's PPA kernel) are insufficient to fix the 845G-specific problem completely. The kernel will probably improve stability on 845G, but I think adding results from 845G to the upstream bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 will only be considered as noise. The upstream bug for the 845G-specific issue is http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26345. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 Title: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've made a kernel with the latest fix available in this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/graphics-fixes-testing If it gets good feedback, I'll copy it to my regular graphics-fixes PPA. This kernel is based on Natty's 2.6.37 kernel, has the changes in drm- intel-next applied, and the patch at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187#c291 is added. I've produced builds for Lucid, Maverick, and Natty. It has a cache coherency checker, so you'll see periodic messages in dmesg reporting on the number of flushes and whether any problems are detected. From Daniel Vetter's patch description: Poke HIC bit + wbinv + cache coherency checker Chris Wilson's latest patch with my cache coherency checker added. Spills the number of chipset flushes regurlarly into the dmesg and bails loudly if one fails. Tested-by lines (like for the previous patch attempts by me) highly welcome. Feedback about the patch can be sent directly to the upstream bug report at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 If you have issues relating to installing/booting this kernel, report them here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 Title: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Note that the new patch upstream fixes the 845G-specific part of this bug. The 845G also suffers from the same i8xx incoherency that the 855GM suffers from (LP bug 541511). There is a patch for that as well at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187#c281, but this has not been commited yet and probably needs more testing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 Title: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So, not surprisingly, syslog reports: kernel: [ 18.768163] i915: Unknown parameter `modetest' If I use modeset=0, or modeset=1, then the blanking/crash still happens when I go to the screensaver preferences. So, modetest=0 or modetest=1 (either one avoids the blanking) is doing *something*. But what, and why?

[Bug 541492] Re: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?)
Douglas, from a user standpoint what changed was adding the KMS graphics feature to the kernel so the command line kernel operates in graphics mode as well as the regular gdm graphics display mode. Presumably this allows faster switching between users and I don't know what else. I never switch between users so I don't get any benefit. Also, switching to the kernel by doing Ctrl-Alt-F1 is faster because there isn't any graphics mode resetting. I only ever do that when I'm attempting to deal with a bug or doing bug reporting. Time saved by not resetting the video graphics mode is miniscule to me. From the user's view, the kernel graphics mode and the gdm don't seem to be well coordinated at all. The kernel fires up graphics mode, you can tell with the tiny print, then X windows starts later setting the graphics mode again and the two do not seem to be working together so crash! Developers have also alluded to some future KMS things they want to do that I'm not aware of. At the moment both my i830 integrated video graphics and my i845G integrated video graphics run with the latest Release Code level of ubuntu, no changes required. Note I only use quiet and not quiet splash since splash is always the same and does not add any new info, and has a history of causing video graphics problems. So booting up I just look at a black screen with a blinking underline in the top left corner for a few seconds until gdm starts. First real trouble I had with video graphics was Compiz on Intrepid so it is blacklisted. Compiz is gdm eye candy and has nothing to do with my running applications which I do full screen anyway.

[Bug 541492] Re: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?)
peakit, as a user/tester what so fundamental changed: Back on Intrepid Compiz decided to use some video code paths no one else does so wham black screen. Easy fix, don't run Compiz eye candy. Doesn't have anything to do with applications as they run. Next the dread KMS showed up where the kernel as it was booting up turned on video graphics mode. Oops, X windows uses video graphics mode too. Seems to me lots of problems co-ordinating the kernel use of video graphics vs. X windows use. Some of the developers claim KMS is a big advantage switching users since no graphics mode reset is needed. I never ever switch users. Ever. Also switching to command line with Ctrl-Alt-F1 and back to X with Ctrl-Alt-F7 works better too. Only time I ever do that is for chasing bugs where Ubuntu is broken big time. The developers also allude to some future plans which I haven't seen elaborated. At various update levels the KMS code has killed my ati video graphics to say nothing of the many trials and tribulations on my two intel pc's. That's my viewpoint just looking at Ubuntu as a black box. I haven't the faintest idea why developers want to affect video graphics all the time as it runs just so switching users will go more smoothly.

Video playback will suffer - there is no hardware acceleration in fbdev.

@sam, I have been running Maverick since Alpha 1. Initially with the bleeding edge X but since Alpha 3 with the default X environment. I have replaced Lucid with Maverick due to this bug and I have to admit that (besides a few bumps) Maverick has been much more stable than Lucid ever was on my desktop.

Good to hear that at least Maverick does not suffer from this problem (though I have n't tested that myself and can't confirm). Given that Lucid (10.04) was an LTS release (3 years of support!), it is very very important to get this fixed. Many i845 folks are awaiting for this bug to get fixed, before jumping onto Lucid.

Brian, I do not have the Option Shadow True in my xorg.conf. If I insert it, restart the GUI and run xglinfo, actually yes I do have a crash ! The GUI disapears and the screen seems in a logged off position but is black with the mouse pointer in the middle of the screen. When I launch the ubuntu-bug to create the bug, first ubuntu-bug asked me to create a crash file, so I started apport, then re-ran ubuntu-bug, but ubuntu-bug then seems to trigger the X crash when collecting the files ... I have right now the crash file in /var/crash/_usr_bin_Xorg.0.crash available. As ubuntu-bug cannot complete, I tried to file the bug with sudo apport-cli -c /var/crash/_usr_bin_Xorg.0.crash but this command also crashes the X server ... I opened the bug directly via Launchpad: number is #640058 I cannot upload the crash file, even gzipped (about 2,5MB) ... too big ?

As a workaround for us 845 folks, is it feasible to roll back the graphics architecture that relies on mesa, dri, etc and use the old i810 driver? I liked the proposal made by Anthony. Seems like all we are trying to do in this request is somehow suppress the calls/features which are resulting in this GPU hung situation. But what we are missing here is doing the suppression is impacting the user experience (as mentioned in Comment #230 - Jean is finding the youtube videos jerky after installing the patch) Shall we start thinking in rolling back to the i810 driver?

Brian, Per your comment #231, I removed the shadow branch PPA: ok I installed the version 2:2.12.0+git20100913.08c2caca-0ubuntu0sarvatt~lucid: I guess this is the version from xorg-edgers. Then I shutdown my computer and powered on again. I tested glxinfo | grep direct rendering: answer is direct rendering: Yes. I can also run my Celestia program (which uses OpenGL I think), so this seems stable. So have not the segmentation fault anymore. Thank you for the help. @Anthony: thank you for your info. Maybe you are right. I am not expert enough with this. As I told before the youtube video seems significantly more jerky than before, but I can't tell you for sure if this is since upgrading to 10.04, or upgrading my X server to 1.8.2, sorry for this.

Yeah, that's the xorg-edgers version. Do you still have Option Shadow True in the device section of your xorg.conf? Because with shadow buffer mode enabled, OpenGL isn't supposed to work (but it shouldn't crash, it should just revert to software rendering). If glxinfo says direct rendering: Yes, then it sounds like shadow buffer mode isn't enabled. If you still have it enabled in xorg.conf, then can you attach Xorg.0.log? If it wasn't enabled, then can you check if there's still a crashing bug when running glxinfo or other OpenGL programs with it enabled, and if so, file a bug? -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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

My shadow branch PPA is now obsolete because the code was committed upstream. So now you only need xorg-edgers and the xorg.conf changes to enable a shadow buffer. Jean-Marie, do you observe the glxinfo-triggered segfault if you remove my shadow branch PPA and switch the xserver-xorg-video-intel package back to the version in xorg-edgers? You can select the package in synaptic and choose 'Package - Force version' to change back. If you still experience a crash from glxinfo after making that change and restarting, then go ahead and file a new bug for it and post the link here, and I'll take a look at it. -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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 have revision 1 of the 845 chip. I tested the Shadow option in xorg.conf using the latest updates from the xorg-edgers PPA but found no improvement. This same hardware has been running Ubuntu with no problems for 4 years until I upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04 a couple of days ago. With kernel 2.6.35-20 the GPU hangs within a few minutes. With kernel 2.6.32-25 the GPU hangs after anywhere from half an hour to a few hours with the following error: [ 1568.344011] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed...

As a workaround for us 845 folks, is it feasible to roll back the graphics architecture that relies on mesa, dri, etc and use the old i810 driver? @Jean-Marie: I have also tried but failed to downgrade to the vesa driver. It seems there is a problem somewhere between vesa and the 845 video BIOS so that X retrieves a video buffer size of only 832Kb even if you increase that value to 8Mb from the system BIOS. -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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

Hello, Following my comment #217: I had no problem since this comment until tonight. I was looking a video from http://www.youtube.com/NASATelevision and found the video very jerky, however it was already jerky before my upgrade to X 1.8.2 and the 2.12 intel video driver from Brian package. I think this jerky effect became very pronounced since I upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04. Hence, I wanted to know if hardware acceleration was working or not. Looking at ubuntu forum I found I could use the command: glxinfo | grep direct rendering to have the answer. So I typed the glxinfo command above and the result was (all three in a row): 1 - the GUI disappeared, replaced by many error text lines 2 - a black screen (cursor at upper left corner) 3 - the GUI reappeared but offering me to logon ... By looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old, I can see a segmentation fault occured (see attached file). Can't I use the glxinfo command ?

i830 gets same problem with' Beta 2.6.35-20. That level of Beta is supposed to default to vesa according to Brian Rogers but does not, skips the intel driver on purpose, skips vesa by mistake, then fbdevhw gets Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. I'll update bug #633593 as well. So I specified i915.modeset=1 which bypasses the KMS blacklist, gets the default intel driver, KMS is up and running, and for ordinary use even internet videos running O.K. Frankly, Maverick Beta you tube videos running better than any previous Ubuntu on this 1 gHz Celeron. HD rather jerky of course. For my i830 and my i845G running the default beta intel driver Version: 2:2.12.0-1ubuntu3 running fine for ordinary use. vesa also runs O.K. on this i830.

2.6.35-20 blacklists KMS on the problematic cards. X is then supposed to fall back to vesa. If it doesn't, a bug should be filed for that. If falling back to vesa has enough problems of its own, that decision might be reversed. i915.modeset=1 will override the blacklist, so you can always turn KMS back on with the new kernel.

Also, to catch up with an older comment... John, Intrepid's driver can't be built for a newer system. I'm also not sure it would solve the problem if someone forward-ported it. As far as I can tell, the driver has always been broken for these chipsets, but was being used in just the right circumstances on older systems that it in practice didn't crash that often. That's why I had a hard time bisecting the issue.

I get vesa by specifying it in xorg.conf. With no xorg.conf ran fine yesterday, KMS and all. Did updates today and X fails. Only get a command line mode and startx won't. Lots of complaints in .xsession-errors and Xorg.0.log see attachments to comment #219. I tried i915.modeset=0 with no xorg.conf and X failed. It runs now with vesa and just specifying quiet in the grub boot line. I don't have any use for splash. I'm not a developer so I don't know which of the many updates caused the trouble. I tried going back to kernel 2.6.35-19 and it doesn't work either although it did yesterday. I looked at the intel driver version and it was the same today as yesterday. I did and do have system, preferences, appearance, visual effects, none. I haven't used Compiz since it broke intel video graphics in Intrepid. ?

Brian, Follow-up of my #214: I tried many times figuring out how to make vesa driver make use of the 1024x768, to no avail. Each time modifying the xorg.conf file and adjusting the screen and monitor sections with tricks I found on the change resolution/refresh rate in Xorg HOWTO (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973). After all may be vesa cannot use higher resolution than 640x480, but most probably I haven't understood some basics about how all these things works :-) Anyway, I just realized about an hour ago that I could upgrade from the 2.11 driver to the version 2.12 provided by your package. And by issuing the command sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel=2:2.12.0+shadow+77.gb933ead-lucid2 I could upgrade to the 2.12 (compiled for the 1.8.2 X server!) then I had again to re-enable KMS using workaround A from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes#Workaround%20A:%20Re- enable%20KMS, otherwise I got the intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected error from the X server and a black screen (CTRL-ALT-F1 usable though). I am up again with my preferred resolution 1024x768 !! My X server is now therefore 1.8.2 and intel driver version is 2.12.0 (from your package). Let's hope it will be stable :-) My configuration as of now: - uname -a: Linux jmp-desktop 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:24:04 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux - cat /etc/lsb-release: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS - head -2 /var/log/Xorg.0.log | tail -1: X.Org X Server 1.8.2 - Here attached my last X server boot log.

I have made a strange observation, it may be helpful to others: Since i double boot, i have no more hang. Double boot means: I interrupt the booting by hitting ctrl+alt+del during the kernel initialization phase, which causes the machine to reboot, and the second time i let it start normally. Others may try if that helps on their machine too or not.

Brian, I did the: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brian-rogers/intel-shadow and then the apt-get update apt-get upgrade commands. because (I guess) KMS was still enabled I always had a black screen after bootup.

Starting up ...(bold) Starting up ...(thin) Ubuntu (white) + the five red dots black screen + fixed cursor at upper left corner (monitor LED is fixed green) the little drum sound (which says the GUI is ready) but I could almost always do CTRL-ALT-F1 and (blindly) to a text login and then reboot. then I disabled KMS and I can now have the GNOME logon screen but however is sticks at 640x480, i.e. using gnome-display-properties (because you cannot have access to the System menu at 640x480) you cannot change anything; the detect monitor button does nothing.

I can Ctrl-Alt-Del-F1, log in, do some stuff, and switch back to gdm O.K. Now I don't know if it will hang after a while. A couple of weeks ago it would, but then updates seem to fix that. By the way, my i830 all up to date on Maverick hasn't hung or anything lately either. Early on in Maverick it needed vesa and i915.modeset=0. Not today. Let me try the Brian Rogers fix.

Brian, I did an important omission: the Xorg.0.log file. Here it is. It shows that X cannot work with my intel driver because it is not compiled for the X server version 1.8. (as you mentioned in your post #204 offering your ppa). Attempting to solve my i845 X problems (subject of this master bug report) I did install (see my post #202) the 2.11 intel driver (which is compiled for the version 1.7.6 of X) and I am still using it... and I don't know how to detach from it: I did a sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates but when asking me if I accept the proposed solution, I did not know what to do (the score was -8386: what does this mean ?) anyway, the vesa driver is then loaded automatically BUT it configures itself at the VGA resolution and cannot do better. what do I need to do to either: - install the intel driver from your ppa intel-shadow? - or (in the meantime), make the vesa able to display upper resolutions e.g. 1024x760 ?

I'm simply saying that it is entirely untestable on my machine, because just running the packages in that repository on that hardware made me think my monitor was about to blow its tube. isn't it possible to get the old Intrepid driver working with Lucid's X version, or has it changed too much? That driver seemed to work in Karmic. I believe I was using xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4 from https://launchpad.net/~siretart/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=jaunty back when I had Jaunty. If I'm not mixing the two up in my mind. It's been a while. (I would gladly just use vesa on this machine and be done with it, but the driver doesn't support above 640x480 at 16-bit color. Which I might actually be willing to try to use if the Ubuntu interface weren't designed with the idea of nobody would ever run anything at 640x480 ever again in mind. If anyone could get me working at at least 800x600, that would at least get me past the point of trying to decide between crash-modes that try to fry my screen or crash-modes that force me to hard-reboot the machine.) -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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

Not lately. Yay! I do ordinary user internet email, web browse, network printing, Open Office, test Ubuntu Alpha etc., I don't do games or eye candy. Of course the next update might tank them again, for the nth time, starting with Intrepid. Then it's back to i915.modeset=0 and xorg vesa. I have had poor results on trying a fix to back fixes off to what it was before. Also I'm not sure the fixes will be compatible with the usual torrent of daily updates? I intend to do a second Maverick install on the i845G which has enough disk space and then try the fix. That way I don't disturb the current working version and have it to fall back on.

Developer Chris Wilson has published a branch of xserver-xorg-video- intel which accesses the graphics card differently and avoids the kinds of operations that cause problems with the old chipsets. I created a PPA for it: https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive /intel-shadow This branch is based off a new enough version of the driver that it requires Xorg 1.8, while Lucid has version 1.7.6. Therefore this PPA depends on the xorg-edgers PPA. To use it, you need to add both: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brian-rogers/intel-shadow You will also need to edit your xorg.conf file to enable shadow buffer mode, since it is not enabled by default: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf If you do not already have a xorg.conf file, you will be editing a blank document and you can put the following in it: Section Device Identifier GPU Option Shadow True EndSection If you already have xorg.conf file with contents, find the Device section and insert the 'Option Shadow True' line like above. Or if there is no existing Device section, copy the one above to the end of the file.

Skip, if you haven't wiped your 10.04 system yet, what happens if you remove the 'Option Shadow True' part? I'm curious if the shadow buffer mode is introducing a new problem or just not fixing an existing problem. If normal 10.04 fails to even show the login screen, then how did you get that version on there? Did you start with 9.10 and upgrade to 10.04? A suggestion: If you set the system up to dual boot between 9.10 and 10.04, you can have a partition for testing while you keep another partition ready for use. -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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 541492] Re: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?)
Hello, Eight days ago, I applied Workaround C (upgading to the 2.11.0 xserver-xorg-video-intel driver, from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes). Note that upon reboot I could not get the normal Gnome logon screen but instead had the following errors: ! Ubuntu fonctionne en mode graphique dégradé. L'erreur suivante est survenue. Vous aurez peut-être besoin de mettre à jour votre configuration pour résoudre cela. (EE) Intel (0): No kernel modesetting driver selected. (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. the No kernel modesetting driver selected message made me think to the Workaround A, which I applied immediately. Then after rebooting the logon screen returned to normal state. Since then I had about 4 hangs, and I am using my computer only about 1h30 a day... The 3 or 4 last hangs were different: the GUI was completely frozen: it did not answer the mouse or keyboard clicks (the mouse pointer was movable though). However I could CTRL-ALT-F1 and get a text logon and then could issue a sudo reboot: may be there is a smarter thing to do than reboot ? before rebooting I did a dmesg: the relevant errors are the same than in my previous post (#194): [17866.396057] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed...

Chris Halse Roger, I am sorry for making a comment (#199) which was not in the spirit of Ubuntu. Thanks Stenten for correcting me. Regarding the Lucid i8xx Freezes wiki page, I did try using a different kernel than 2.6.32 but, it did n't work as mentioned in #198. Though now I have downgraded my System to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

Why can't you just put the Intrepid driver back into a PPA somewhere? I was using that driver for the entire duration of Karmic and it worked fine, but now obviously it isn't available. I know free is free, but this is simply unusuable, and thank god it's my off-box I just use for email and not my main box. The initial drivers earlier in the cycle would turn my screen on and off repeatedly, and if I hadn't been sitting right there when it happened, you would have blown out my screen and I would have had to buy a new one. The most recent I have been putting up with total X lockups requiring a hard powerdown (why do they not put reset buttons on machines nowadays?), and for the past week I have not one single time gotten up in the morning without having to hard-boot the thing. Now I just tried the raof/aubergine stuff and all it managed to do was send my X/gdm into some sort of infinite crashing loop (which is strange, because before it went into that loop, it correctly displayed my current desktop image, but before it could draw the toolbars, kaboom). So now I have to go in and reset the blasted thing. Just put the Intrepid driver back up. Problem solved. So what if this is old hardware? It's still making the entire operating system completely unusuable on it, and for how long this has gone on, I doubt I'm the only one thinking other distributions might be a good idea. -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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

A few months ago, I was so frustrated that I played around with other distributions. Suse had similar X problems. Fedora only booted in text mode. After many hours of trying, I now have a Ubuntu combo w/o lockups. It would be nice to know if there are alternatives. Perhaps you could let us know which distributions work for you. I might also switch, or maybe we can adapt their solution to Ubuntu.

Ok! Ladies and Gentlemen! Chris Wilson of upstream fame has done some work to re-integrate a legacy driver for the Intel cards that have been hard done by in the GEM transition. The xserver-xorg-video-intel packages in https://edge.launchpad.net/~raof/+archive/aubergine have a GEM-less legacy driver re-integrated which is activated when KMS is disabled - which it is by default on your card for Lucid. It would be useful if you could remove any work-arounds you've used to get your system more stable and test the drivers from this PPA. They should hopefully end up slightly more stable than the drivers in Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty), which were the last set of drivers to not use the GEM memory manager, and so significantly more stable than the drivers in Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04 (Karmic and Maverick). Could you please test the drivers from this PPA and report your experiences with them? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu Lucid) Assignee: (unassigned) = Chris Halse Rogers (raof) -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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

Survived overnight test. Had one Open-GL crash, but stability is clearly much improved under kernel 2.6.35.24 (after patches are re-installed. stability was poor prior to re-installation but I cannot pinpoint which patch was lost in the kernel upgrade (driver? 855-patch?). Does anyone know any method whereby I can monitor the screensaver program in order to generate error data that may help in developing an even more stable fix? -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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

Xserver-Xorg-Driver-Intel Gitxx722 exhibited some stability regression especially when compared to Git710. I have also noticed that kernel upgrades tend to obliterate the add-on packages for the fix, and that these need to be re-installed to be effective. I currently have the fixes applied to new kernel 2.6.32.24. Performance is very good in terms of speed and rendering quality, and I have high hopes that it will pass tonight's screensaver challenge. It was however, as noted above, necessary to re-apply all the fixes as 2.6.32.24 by itself initially crashed almost immediately upon GL screensaver start up. -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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

Folow up to comment #173 Yesterday evening I had a GPU hang after 24h of squeezing the i845. First symptom was that totem player was shutting down without comment after it had opened an video which I had already watched before. Then I logged out and instead of showing the login screen the computer became unresponsive. I still could shutdown via ACPI. Unfortunately had no ssh installed so I could not draw an i915_error_state. I try to attach the critical part of syslog. I have one freze at a total uptime of 69h on two i845 based computers now with the 2.6.35rc4-131+ge467e10+nopatch-generic or 2.6.35rc5-nopatch1-generic kernels and updated drivers. This is certainly much better than what I got with the 2.6.34-v9patch-generic kernel and standard lucid drivers Michael ** Attachment added: syslog of i845 GPU freeze http://launchpadlibrarian.net/52205780/hang1.txt.gz -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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 Tim, unfortunately I do not have your hardware, so I have to imagine what I would do. First I would blacklist all (!!!) drivers found in the /lib/modules/xxx/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00 directories of Brian Rogers kernels, where xxx is e.g. 2.6.35rc5-nopatch1-generic for one of his latest build. I.e. you make a file /etc/modprobe.d/rt2870.conf containing blacklist rt2x00lib blacklist rt2x00pci ... and so on, including the rt2800usb and reboot. If one of these steps works you are done and do not have to continue. If your wlan stick is not recognized, unplug it and plug it in again. If that has not worked load the module by hand, i.e. sudo modprobe rt2870sta (the module's name is rt2870sta also usb_core claims to have loaded the rt2870 driver) If that has worked you may add rt2870sta to /etc/modules if not I don't know.

Thanks Mike, I'll give the modprobe command a try. If the module is really loaded in 2.6.35 then it should come online.

Passable stability with drover git716, random screensavers cycle for several hours, with eventual freezes on open GL (implying that perhaps upgrade to Mesa 7.8.2 might be in order). Upon freeze, X does not crash, and desktop can be recovered, however, attempting to open the screensaver control panel will crash the system. On other occasion, X will be brought down (green light on monitor, X cannot be recovered), or system will be brought down (monitor indicates no signal). In either event system is working well under applications such as google Earth. Lucid solution is close, hopefull this will be fully resolved in Maverick. (I can assure that i815 system works flawlessly with perfect stability on current git716 driver) -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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

Stimulated by the previous posts I tested one of our Dell Optiplex GX60 desktops with 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) again. I found a combination which is almost perfect for this kind of machine without fancy hardware. linux-image-2.6.35rc4-131+ge467e10+nopatch-generic (!! nopatch from Brian Rogers' repository) xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.12.0+git20100716~glasen~ppa1 libdrm-intel1 2.4.21~glasen~ppa5 libdrm2 2.4.21~glasen~ppa5 plus the gpufix2 mesa packages from Brian Rogers, otherwise up to date lucid. So it is similar to what has been recommended here lately, except of the kernel. What I did for testing, frequently switching VTs, logging in as a second user (slow but safe), atlantis xscreensaver, voluntarily reboot, normal openoffice work, watching 2h xvid video with totem player, visiting heavily flash overloaden web sites with firefox and chromium. The machine is up now for more than a day and the only flaw I could detect was in dmesg during system startup, [ 34.782896] render error detected, EIR: 0x0010 [ 34.782909] [drm:i915_report_and_clear_eir] *ERROR* EIR stuck: 0x0010, masking [ 34.782941] render error detected, EIR: 0x0010 which apparently is harmless. I am writing this from a second of these i845 computer on which I just have installed above fixes. It really feels more responsive than with the 2.6.34-v9patch kernel. Would the nopatch in the name of the kernel which I use mean, that I do not need the V8/V9 patch on my i845 hardware any longer with recent xserver-xorg-video-intel and libdrm ?

Are steps being taken to have this kernel incorporated in the Lucid release? I'd use it not but my i845 uses ralink2870 wireless drivers (currently uncompiled in Rodger's kernel), and the compilation process is about 12-steps long (why ralink rt2870 is not in the repositories is a mystery). -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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 Tim, kernel 2.6.35-rc5 is just a week old. Maverick will use 2.6.35 and after its release, I guess, we can expect support for lucid as well, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498079 . For the meantime, the module you wish for your wlan is presumably rt2860sta.ko or rt2870sta.ko, and they are in the 2.6.35rc4-131+ge467e10+xxpatch-generic kernels from Brian Rogers. So either they do not work yet or other modules are loaded instead, see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1485772.html . Try to blacklist them if they show up in lsmod, see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1485772.html .

Thanks Mike, First thing I did was try the blacklisting route, in all possible permutations, but the best I could do was to get the rt2800usb to come online, at 1kb/s, yuk! No I know that the rt2870.ko module works, but there was no operational sign of it anywhere on the system with Rodgers' kernel. Anyhow, we can manage as is for now until 2.6.35 comes officially online. I'll try Brian's kernel again if I could get some more specific assistance in getting rt2870 online. I've read the directions dor direct compilation, and it is just too much of a pain. -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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 541492] Re: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?)
Felix, I'm not using the Rogers kernel at all. Because it is not cleared for Ubuntu release it is still somewhat poorly integrated into Lucid (Prime example is the Ralink wireless drivers no longer working properly because integration of the rt2870 and rt2860 have been lost. Yes, I could recompile them, but I have read the directions, and frankly , its a risk-filled PiTA, instead I have installed the 2.6.32.23, which is the latest Ubuntu kernel available in the regular repositories. That, plus the 855 path, the Rogers Mesa, and the Glasenhardt driver git716 (newly released, and IMHO, working really well, 16 hours of random screensavers and no crashes). I simply have found this recipe to work, and be easy to implement for a dummy like me. -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 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
