[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1839555] [NEW] X server backports for PRIME render offloading

2019-08-08 Thread Daniel Dadap
Public bug reported:

Configuring PRIME render offloading requires changes to the X server
which have been accepted upstream but are not yet present in any
release. These changes do not break the driver ABI and should be safe to
backport to existing X servers shipped in distributions like Ubuntu.

The required commits are:

* 7f962c70b6d9c346477f23f6c15211e749110078 - xsync: Add resource inside of 
SyncCreate, export SyncCreate
* 37a36a6b5b887d5c5a17a6931ceba8ad5d1bb6d5 - GLX: Add a per-client vendor 
mapping
*  8b67ec7cc6fda243480a5a8ca118b66242f3eb2c- GLX: Use the sending client for 
looking up XID's
* 56c0a71fdd94a008e5d746261f70a713c4767f93 - GLX: Add a function to change a 
clients vendor list
* b4231d69028adc8123801a7552b40a15ea928d1b - GLX: Set 
GlxServerExports::{major,minor}Version

These commits must be backported to an X.org X server of at least
version 1.20, as this is the first version with support for server-side
GLVND.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1057093] Re: Installing nvidia-current should blacklist gfxpayload

2012-10-09 Thread Daniel Dadap
Hi Steve,

While the NVIDIA driver often happens to work with consoles other than
the standard VGA text mode console without any user-visible symptoms,
any console configuration besides VGA text mode is not supported by the
driver, and use of any alternative consoles is directly linked, in many
cases, to stability problems and graphical corruption.

Here are some recent examples of issues users have encountered as a
result of using framebuffer consoles with the NVIDIA driver; these
symptoms were observed with a framebuffer console present, and absent
when using a VGA text mode console on the same system:

- Complete graphics freeze in some situations - recoverable by restarting X.
- Inability to restore console after suspend/resume.
- Scribbling of data from the console on top of the X screen driven by the 
primary GPU.

Users shouldn't be exposed to such issues in the name of graphical boot
splashes.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1057093] [NEW] Installing nvidia-current should blacklist gfxpayload

2012-09-26 Thread Daniel Dadap
Public bug reported:

The NVIDIA driver does not interact well with consoles other than plain
VGA text consoles, such as vesafb. NVIDIA recommends that users run VGA
text consoles in conjunction with the NVIDIA driver.

Many distributions, such as Ubuntu, enable a framebuffer console by
default. It appears that Ubuntu has a mechanism (via update-grub-
gfxpayload) to blacklist the framebuffer console for specific hardware.
It appears that the nvidia-current package includes a gfxpayload rules
file, which includes a (commented out) example rule to blacklist the
framebuffer console for all NVIDIA devices.

I confirmed that after installing the nvidia-current package and
rebooting, the system was using a vesafb framebuffer console. I edited
/usr/share/nvidia-current/nvidia-current.grub-gfxpayload and uncommented
the example rule, ran update-grub-gfxpayload, rebooted, and confirmed
that the system was using a VGA text console.

This rule should be enabled by default as part of installing the nvidia-
current package.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 973096] Re: Nvidia driver causes xorg crash

2012-08-13 Thread Daniel Dadap
@tye3ow: In that case, you are probably experiencing a different issue,
as we have identified a specific problem that was introduced between the
290 and 295 series of drivers that we believe is responsible for many of
the reports here.

The next 304 release (the fix is not in 304.32) will contain a fix for
the above described problem. This driver should be released very soon.

If you continue to experience problems after upgrading to the next 304
release when it's available, please file a separate bug instead of
continuing to update this bug. When you file that bug, please try to
provide as much detailed information about the problem as possible. (See
my comment #144 here.)

@joelm, thanks for providing that.

You provided three backtraces. You included a snippet from dmesg with
backtrace 1: can you confirm that you didn't see the same info from the
kernel when you captured backtraces 2 and 3?

Also, when did you generate that nvidia-bug-report.log file?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 973096] Re: Nvidia driver causes xorg crash

2012-07-19 Thread Daniel Dadap
 At an above linked forum thread, they were able to reproduce this bug
on a quadro fx4600. They are hoping to fix it this month, but I'd guess
it will be next month. The thread is now password protected.

Sorry if there is any confusion, but the issue I believe you are
referring to, which we do have an internal reproduction of, is not known
to necessarily be the same issue as what people are describing here. We
believe that some people on this thread might be affected by this issue,
but as I said earlier, the reports on this thread conflict with each
other on many levels, and at this time, I find it hard to believe that
everybody reporting here is actually experiencing exactly the same
problem.

This is why, despite the seemingly similar reports here, it is important
that as much detail about the specific problem each person is
experiencing be provided.  I should note that the reproduction we have
in house of the issue that we believe may be related to some of the
reports here is on a single system so far: attempts to reproduce the
problem on other systems so far have failed; we do not yet understand
what is specific to this system that allows it to reproduce the issue
while others do not. The person who eventually reproduced the issue
internally went through dozens of systems before finding the one that
finally reproduced it.

Also, the issue we have reproduced internally has specific reproduction
steps. The reports here lack good reproduction steps. For reference, the
specific reproduction steps given are:

Repro steps (A): 
1. Open Firefox and play video from the link 
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/vidtemplate-engage-with-flash.html 
2. Make it full screen 
3. Just keep moving the mouse cursor over the video; after some time, the X 
server will crash. 

Repro steps (B): 
1. Open 4 to 5 seperate Firefox windows and play youtube HD videos 
2. Make sure to view with large player (no need to make it fullscreen) 
3. After some time (say for 3 to 5min), we can observe an X server crash. 

This is reproducible regardless of whether or not VDPAU is used.

2012-07-19 Thread Daniel Dadap
@natew: NVIDIA does not have access to the nvnews.net forum at this
time, either. I was not directly involved in the attempts to reproduce
the issue described above, but as reported by the person who did
reproduce this issue, we did try several systems with chips that are
similar to the GeForce 285m, without success.

I see that you're the original reporter of this bug on launchpad, and
you have posted a backtrace from gdb captured during the crash. Thanks
for that, but to make the backtrace more readable, do you think you
could capture another one with debugging symbols installed for the X
server, and with the DSO load base of nvidia_drv.so within X captured?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 973096] Re: Nvidia driver causes xorg crash

2012-06-22 Thread Daniel Dadap
Hi everybody,

Like I said earlier, I've personally been using Precise with Unity on
one of my main test machines since the alpha stage, and haven't seen any
X crashes that weren't due to bugs that have since been fixed, and I
certainly haven't seen random, frequent X crashes like what seems to be
described here. That machine has its drivers and GPUs swapped
frequently, and for as long as I have been using Precise, I have always
used 295 or later drivers on it. (Compiz does seem to crash frequently,
but it always recovers, without disturbing any of the applications or
windows I have open.)

In addition to my own personal experience, which is obviously a tiny
sample, the driver goes through extensive automated and manual testing
on many different hardware configurations, and on a variety of
distributions, including Ubuntu 12.04. We haven't seen any issues that
cause X to crash sporadically, as seems to be described here.

With that in mind, we're obviously missing something important that's
required to reproduce this bug (if it is even just a single bug: it's
hard to tell, since the symptom is fairly generic). If we can collect as
much detail as possible from everybody who is affected, that would help
us understand what is happening better. The more information you
provide, the better our chances for reproducing the issue at NVIDIA.
Please provide as many of the following as possible:

1) An nvidia-bug-report.log file, generated immediately after a crash. This can 
be generated by running the script `nvidia-bug-report.log.sh`, which is 
included as part of the driver install. The script requires superuser 
privileges to collect system information, so you should run it with sudo. The 
script will save a file called nvidia-bug-report.log.gz to your current working 
directory.
2) A detailed description of what you were doing at the time of the crash.
3) If you are familiar with using gdb, stack traces from the crashing server, 
with X debug symbols installed, would be very helpful. If you're not familiar 
with gdb, but want to try to provide a stack trace anyway, you can try 
following these steps:
a) Install X debug symbols (sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core-dbg)
b) Start your desktop session, as normal
c) For good measure, capture the DSO load base of the NVIDIA driver, in 
case it shows up in the stack trace of the crashing server. (grep nvidia_drv.so 
/proc/`pidof X`/maps) - you may need to do this as root. Stash this information 
away, and if nvidia_drv.so shows up in your backtrace when you get one, submit 
it along with everything else.
d) Log into your system *FROM ANOTHER MACHINE* and attach a debugger to the 
already running X server (gdb Xorg `pidof X`): it's important that you do this 
from another machine over ssh, because after the debugger is attached, X will 
be frozen until you continue. If you start the debugger from a VT on the same 
machine, when X crashes later, it will be frozen, and you probably won't be 
able to switch to your VT running the debugger
e) After the debugger is attached, type continue (or just c) at the gdb 
prompt and hit enter
f) Use your system, leaving the debugger attached the whole time. If X 
crashes, the debugger will stop. Go to your machine running the debugger, and 
type backtrace (or just bt) and hit enter to get a backtrace at the time of 
your crash. If the backtrace is long, you may have to hit enter a few more 
times to see the rest of it. Copy and paste this backtrace, and submit it along 
with the nvidia-bug-report.log.

It does sound like some boards are affected, and some are not, though
the boards reported so far don't have a whole lot in common with each
other. We will do our best to match the configurations reported here, in
hopes of reproducing this crash. Thanks in advance for your help. In the
meantime, for those who are affected, it does sound like unity-2d is
more stable, so perhaps you can switch to unity-2d as a temporary
workaround while waiting for this issue to be resolved.

Alberto, has anybody at Canonical been able to reproduce this?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 973096] Re: Nvidia driver causes xorg crash

2012-06-12 Thread Daniel Dadap
Hi Alberto,

There seem to be a lot of reports here, and it's hard to tell whether
they're all related. We are currently investigating reports of a
regression with very recent versions of Flash where the X server can
crash when playing videos, which it sounds like many of the users here
are reporting, but there are many other reports here which sound
completely unrelated to Flash, including the post from the original
reporter.

The root cause of the Flash regression is not yet known, but in the
meantime, we have found that it's possible to work around this
particular issue by disabling Flash's use of VDPAU for hardware
acceleration of video playback.

It sounds like a lot of people here are experiencing general stability
problems with Unity and the NVIDIA driver, and using other desktop
sessions, older drivers, or different GPU hardware/drivers avoids these
issues. I haven't personally seen issues like this on any of my machines
running Unity on Precise, nor am I aware of any reports like this coming
from our internal testing on various distributions, including Ubuntu.

I understand that the reports are of crashes which are random and
sporadic in nature, but any efforts to isolate specific workflows or
actions that seem to trigger the crashes or at least make it more likely
that X or the desktop session will crash so that these problems can be
reproduced on demand will make it much easier to investigate what is
happening. If there appear to be multiple problems that share similar
symptoms (Nvidia driver causes xorg crash can describe a multitude of
issues), they should preferably be separated out into distinct bug
reports. (It also seems like at least some people on this bug report are
reporting issues with non-NVIDIA drivers and/or hardware: these reports,
at least, definitely don't belong in an Nvidia driver causes xorg
crash report.)

Are the other affected users also running GeForce 6200 or similar
boards?

As an experiment, try reverting the security patch here:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/patches/security/CVE-2012-0946/

You should be able to do this without reinstalling the whole driver by
manually reverting the patch in /usr/src/nvidia-current-295.40 and then
rebuilding just the kernel module using DKMS. (May want to have X
stopped / module unloaded while doing this.)

GeForce 6xxx series isn't susceptible to the vulnerability.

Effenberg, I think you're experiencing a different set of problems than
the original reporters, who have a regression in 295.40 compared to
295.33.

What's your display configuration? If you have multiple large displays,
or multiple displays with different resolutions, it is sometimes
necessary to stay in the maximum performance state at all times. Is your
GPU still unable to clock down if you use a single display, possibly at
a lower resolution?

the regression better first. There's still a chance that there could be
bugs in all of the affected drivers that are causing this, but it would
be great if we could begin investigating with some more solid
information about the problem first.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 877682] Re: [Latitude E6510 / Thinkpad W510/T510] External Video inoperative with nVidia current

2012-02-28 Thread Daniel Dadap
The 295 driver package will contain the control panel fix. However, the
original problem reported in this bug does not sound like the control
panel bug. It's not clear to me if the other comments on this bug are
actually reporting the same issue reported in this bug, or the control
panel issue as described in the linked forum posts.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 877682] Re: [Latitude E6510 / Thinkpad W510/T510] External Video inoperative with nVidia current

2012-02-17 Thread Daniel Dadap
I don't think it's related. I don't see any reports of X crashing here,
just inability to use external displays. Furthermore, the bug referenced
in that changelog entry was introduced in the 295 timeframe and this bug
is reported in 280.

The issue described here also doesn't seem to exactly match the issue
described on the ubuntuforums.org and forums.nvidia.com links: here it
sounds like neither external display is working, and on the forum posts
it sounds like the control panel is freezing when enabling two external
monitors simultaneously.

The latter is a known bug in the control panel which was fixed in the
290 timeframe. The former sounds like a distinct issue to me, but maybe
I've misunderstood the report. It would be good to clarify with the
original reporter.

For the control panel bug, you don't want to do a full driver update for
that bug, you can just patch the control panel:

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 753144] Re: focused, or maximized windows blank

2011-09-08 Thread Daniel Dadap
Hello all,

Thanks for reporting this bug. Since it seems to be quite active on
launchpad and users are writing in to linux-bugs about it, I just wanted
to mention that NVIDIA is aware of the issue. We've been tracking it for
a while under NVIDIA internal bug number 822418. It does appear to be
specific to older cards in low video memory situations; for integrated
GPUs you can allocate more memory to work around the problem, but for
discrete GPUs this isn't a possibility.

We do not currently have an estimated time for delivery of a fix.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 613458] Re: After upgrading to latest kernel i get a black screen and cant do anything except ctrl+alt+delete to reboot

2010-08-06 Thread Daniel Dadap
The 256.xx driver should work fine with kernel 2.6.35. I just upgraded
my Maverick test machine to 2.6.35-14 and I'm not having any problems
with the NVIDIA driver.

The logs attached to this bug all appear to have been generated with
2.6.35-11. I'm assuming that the system was rebooted into the older
kernel to generate them.

Can the system be sshed into when the problem occurs? If an nvidia-bug-
report.log can be generated (`sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh`) when the
actual failure is occurring, then it might help us figure out what's
happening.

(If it helps, you might want to configure your system not to start X by
default when booting: edit /etc/init/gdm.conf and comment out the start
on conditions. When you reboot you should be presented with a text
login prompt. This will allow you to, e.g., determine the IP address so
that you can ssh in from another system before starting X. You can then
start X with `sudo start gdm` when you're ready, and if the ssh session
is still responsive, generate an nvidia-bug-report.log.)

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 481599] Re: When using NVIDIA driver wrong resolutions are picked causing *out of range* error from monitors OSD and cannot display analog signal from VGA output to TV because of

2010-05-10 Thread Daniel Dadap
The NVIDIA driver builds its list of available modes from several
sources. The most important of these are the display's EDID, and the X
server's list of VESA standard modes.

The ModeValidation NoXServerModes option removes the X server
provided modes from this pool. It seems that in this case, one or more
of the VESA standard modes provided in the X server was incompatible
with the particular display hardware being used. We do try to eliminate
potentially incompatible modes from the server's list by checking them
against the pixel clock and display dimensions in the EDID, but it's
possible to have an incompatible mode pass these tests once in a while.

It would be useful to know exactly which modes are failing, and to have
a little bit more information about what is happening during the mode
validation process. Setting Option ModeDebug true in the Screen
section of xorg.conf will print detailed mode validation information in
the log.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 578517] [NEW] Hang after pressing enter in VT that X was started from when using startx

2010-05-10 Thread Daniel Dadap
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Steps to reproduce:

1. stop gdm
2. Run startx from a VT
3. Once the desktop is up, open a few windows.
4. Switch back to the VT that you ran startx on
5. Hit enter
6. Switch back to the VT that X is running on

With the nouveau and vesa drivers, what we see is that all windows are
now blank and filled with white, and the GNOME menu and shortcut icons
in the top panel are missing. Other items in the panel appear to be
unaffected and are responsive to input.

With the NVIDIA binary driver, all we see is a black screen with a
cursor.

Not too many will be starting desktop sessions with startx, let alone
switching to the VT they started X from and hitting enter, but this
still probably deserves some investigation.

2010-05-03 Thread Daniel Dadap
Thanks for all the reports. We have tracked this down to a problem with
the kernel's VGA arbiter trying to move VGA ownership to a GPU that
hasn't POSTed. We're working with the developers of the VGA arbiter to
get this fixed in the kernel.

In the meantime, we have a patch which works around the issue by
preventing the VGA arbiter from moving VGA ownership away from the
default device. It is attached as NVIDIA_kernel-195.36.24-682377.diff.
You can apply the patch by downloading the latest installer from
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-195.36.24.html (32-bit)
or http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-195.36.24.html
(64-bit) and running the installer with the --apply-patch
/path/to/patch.diff option. This will create a patched installer with a
name ending in -custom.run, which will install a driver with this
workaround.

If you're not comfortable with applying the patch yourself, or with
working out the conflicts between the driver as installed by the NVIDIA
installer and the driver as installed by Jockey (the restricted drivers
manager) then please wait until an updated package is available through
Jockey.

1) Your problem is not the GDM timeout issue
2) The version of GDM distributed with Lucid ignores custom.conf
3) Both of the above

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 563100] Re: Mouse movement corrupted with Xinerama enabled

2010-04-20 Thread Daniel Dadap
This is a known bug in Xorg 1.7.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24986

We did investigate this about a month ago, until we discovered that it
was a bug in X. At the time, it did reproduce in Debian unstable, though
the bug report here suggests that it currently does not. The
freedesktop.org bug report lists an available patch, so it's possible
that Debian unstable has applied this patch or their own. It's also
possible that the server layout that the original poster tested with in
Debian unstable is different: this bug only reproduces when screens with
a higher ID are placed to the left of screens with a lower one.

** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #24986

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 532436] Re: nvidia driver sometime does not load at boot

2010-04-16 Thread Daniel Dadap
I haven't seen this happen during any of my recent testing with Lucid.
If it is a timing issue, it might be easiest to pursue a repro on the
same hardware. I'll try to get access to one of these notebook systems
(Dell Studio XPS 1340) for testing.

In the meantime, if anybody else is experiencing this on other systems,
it would be helpful to know about those systems as well.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 522328] Re: [Test xpr-008] Lucid upgrade broke when upgrading from manually installed nvidia proprietary drivers

2010-04-16 Thread Daniel Dadap
Is the nvidia kernel module being rebuilt after the upgrade? It's
expected not to work after upgrading the kernel, if it's not rebuilt for
the new kernel.

This no longer happens for me after an aptitude update; aptitude upgrade
a few days ago. Please close this bug.

Thanks,

Daniel
