The GPU lockups typically require kernel patches, as it appears in this case, rather than changes on the X side. Sometimes we leave the X task open to help track the issue to solution, but as mentioned in recent comments, we're no longer providing engineering support for this old hardware so don't need to track it. I'll leave the linux task open for now though. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 Title: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/541511/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
Since this bug, as Geir Ove Myhr points out, is solved upstream, all we just need now, is that the Intel driver is enabled by default in Xorg in Oneiric (11.10) again - instead of the now default simple, featureless and faulty frame buffer driver. I've successfully been using Uneiric Alpha 1 2 and alle updates in between and after, with the intel xorg driver on i855 boxes - enabled by the Maverick workaround Manually enable Intel driver found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Mavericki8xxStatus. As the upstream bugfixes is apparently only applied to the latest kernels (3.0) and demands drivers from xserver-xorg-video-intel never than 2.14 (2.15 is in Oneiric right now), reenabling the intel driver will only work for Oneiric (11.10) at present time. Right now the bug is seems only solved by not using the Intel driver in Lucid, Maverich and Natty, which may be the best way for those releases, if the patches can't be applied to those kernels and and xorg drivers. But for Oneiric the patches are implicit and the fixed Intel driver only requires to be enabled by the Xorg packages, and wouldn't the Alpha period best suited for that purpose ?. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 Title: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/541511/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
Sorry, I misspoke. Natty is the first release to contain the fix, not Maverick (Natty is on the .38 kernel; Maverick is on .35). So Lucid will not work OOTB (out-of-the-box). You need to disable KMS as indicated at [1]. Maverick ships with a workaround, so it works OOTB. Natty contains both the workaround and the upstream fix, so it works OOTB. You can disable the workaround by enabling the -intel driver as indicated at [2]; it will work normally because it also ships with the upstream fix in the kernel. Christiansen is just mentioning that since Oneiric contains the fix too, it should not also ship with the workaround. I've opened Bug 817814 to track this and will give a heads up to some of the devs. Those with i8xx chipsets on Oneiric can help by adding a comment to that bug whether or not Oneiric works using the -intel driver on i8xx chipsets. (Play a movie file in Totem or VLC and see if it freezes; also run it for a couple days and see if it freezes.)

I have previously used the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild . Instead of getting the vanilla upstream kernel in #2, I would use the drm-intel-next head from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ickle/drm-intel.git. Then you would need to apply the patch before going on. If you have a faster newer computer, I would recommend building on that one, because compiling a kernel on the computers that have an 855GM chipset tends to be slow. You will need to use the 32-bit version of Ubuntu on that machine, though. It is probably better to use Maverick than Lucid for testing this. Natty even better. With Natty, you should be able to steal most of the kernel configuration from the drm-intel-next mainline build in step 4 (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds).

Thank you for the suggestion, gmud. That's a good idea. Unfortunately I do not have the resources to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu on top of the existing Ubuntu partition that I am using. The Puppy Linux distro is running fully off an 8GB pendrive. Earlier today I installed the Glasen 0.7.7 driver fix for the i855, in my Dell Latitude D400. Both the stable version, of the driver, and the experimental (exp) version acted the same way: 1. I could now run Videos (like, with VLC) with no problem. Until this fix, my GPU would lock up immediately, the second I invoked any video. The fix allows video. 2. Now, the GPU locks up when I run certain graphics only. This is an improvement. I can make it fail consistently when I run Google Chrome with the facebook game: Mafia Wars. The page that causes the lockup is NewYork stage properties page. After less than a minute of pressing various buttons on this page, the GPU locks up. My xorg.conf is the standard one. Good work, Stephan. Thank you for the fix.

Thank you brian - I've tested your latest kernel and it indeed has fixed the cursor issue. On my machine, the periodic freezing issue from your last kernel is not observed.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
The invisible cursor fix will be sent to stable and make it into Maverick that way. I don't know if it will make it in before release, though. As for the stability fix, Daniel Vetter has said the following: I haven't upstreamed the patch for a few reasons: - It's an extremely ugly approach, involving way too much duct-tape. Now if it would actually reliably work, but that's not the case. - It has (under certain circumstances) rather severe performance implications (mostly because the eviction code is not clever enough). Hence why I'm not satisfied and of the opinion that upstreaming might cause more harm than good. Different story for distros, though. I have a few ideas as how to amend this, but that requires a complete rewrite of the gtt code. I've finally found time to start hacking on this [...] Complete comment here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187#c233 So it's not planned to go into 2.6.35.x, but it could be picked up individually by distros.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
Brian, I've been using your latest ppa20+v9+cursorfix-generic kernel, and it has made my system usable again, unlike the previous attempts. The cursor freeze has disappeared, and I can once again watch videos in Dragon Player and VLC, neither of which could be used at all before. Oddly, flash video in a browser has always worked well, and the new kernel has not degraded performance there. The mouse cursor does still occasionally stutter, but there are no error messages that I can discover. Similarly, video sometimes stutters, but this seems to happen only on higher-resolution sources (like HD video), but I notice this only when playing fullscreen. Lower res video plays very well, including fullscreen. The system still sometimes freezes solid, but this behavior is greatly reduced from previous kernels, and is now at an almost tolerable level. Unfortunately, a system freeze means just that, so I have no way to determine if new error messages appeared immediately before the freeze. Freezing doesn't seem to be triggered by any particular operation, such as certain mouse movements, and it can happen just as easily when typing in a Konsole or resizing a window as when watching a fullscreen video. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Brian, I can concur with the above. I had tail -f /var/log/messages in one window and glxgears in another. The reason for glxgears was that I just needed something that had continuous movement to be displayed. When the cursor appeared to momentarily freeze, glxgears also stopped.

Yeah, the shadow buffer mode does disable OpenGL. I forgot to mention it. It's a sort of safe mode that's a more functional alternative to the vesa driver. I'm refreshing the kernels in my graphics-fixes PPA, since 2.6.35-v9patch1 is getting kind of stale. There have been relevant fixes in the 2.6.35.x line of stable releases, and this new build will include them. One fix is cursor-related, so hopefully that will make your cursor visible again. Another fix involves a black-screen bug. The freshened kernel that also includes the v9 patch will be called linux-image-2.6.35-v9patch+19-generic.

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.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
Just a few observations with the new ppa. The framerate has dropped dramatically. I can no longer view full- screen flash video. Compiz no longer works - I've had to resort to using metacity compositing. On boot, plymouth is low resolution, with the old Karmic double black-graphics flash when moving from plymouth to the GDM. Having said all that, graphics seem rock-solid without any graphical glitches and panel refresh issues with the 2.6.35-rc6 ppa:brian-rogers /graphics-fixes kernel. I tried adding i915.modeset=1 to the grub boot option. However, whilst this fixed the low resolution plymouth, the GDM was never displayed - just a black-screen. I tried with both i915.modeset=1 and without the shadow = true in xorg.conf. This resulted in the infamous GLib- WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) issue. I also tried without i915.modeset=1 and without shadow=true. To be honest, the only difference that I observed was that the framerate with full screen graphics was slightly faster, but still unwatchable. Tested using: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) On a separate issue - before testing the new ppa, I cant use the 2.6.35-v9patch1-generic ppa:brian-rogers/graphics-fixes kernel since the mouse cursor is not displayed.

Sorry, the instructions at the top of this bug were outdated and referenced an older version of the patched kernel. I fixed that now. Here's the command to install the newest kernel in my PPA: sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.35-v9patch1-generic If you're still on 9.04 these instructions won't work because it will be looking in the 9.04 version of the graphics-fixes repository, which is empty. You can override that by going to System - Administration - Software Sources and finding my PPA, then editing it and changing the distribution to 'lucid'. Then after updating the repositories again, the kernel will be available, and you can run the command to install it. Then if you upgrade to 10.04, make sure when it asks to remove obsolete/unsupported packages that it is not trying to remove that kernel. If the kernel is listed, have it skip removing the packages. You will now have 10.04 + a patched kernel, which hopefully will work right. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
I have to say I was highly disappointed in Ubuntu's handling of this error as well. I'm using 9.10 on an older Centrino M 1300 as well for a basic file server, and Lucid was a disaster. I understand the issues involved quite clearly, and understand it's not an easy fix. It would be nice to be able to abandon this issue entirely. However, most of these chipsets are stuck inside laptops, and the reality is that people (myself included) turn to Linux releases like Ubuntu to have modern OS support on these older machines that are still out there running quite well. I for one hate to throw out old hardware when it functions perfectly well for what I need. Here's the real rub: Lucid is the ONLY Linux release from this time frame that will not run OOB on my 852 setup. That's just nuts to me. It may be an upstream issue, but other distros have dealt with it effectively enough to have a running GUI from the get go. I realize that even WinXP had issues related to this chipset, but even getting to a base GUI is better than nothing for Average Joe. Blank Screen Syndrome is doom incarnate. Period. We can deal with suspend issues and software crashes. But Average Joe needs to get to a GUI first... or even a prompt for that matter. Yes, the other distros I've tried have their issues once they were loaded. But the point is they DID load, into GUI, OOB. Even openSUSE 11.2 (and now 11.3), which is arguably one of the most bloated Linux distros out there, loads onto my machine fine, with KDE 4.x running and useable. Long rant cut short: Ubuntu devs NEED to look at other working distros to see what workarounds are being plastered into place on major releases like this. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

FYI Installed Fedora 13, Kernel 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 on my Let's note Panasonic CF-W2 with Int(h)el(l) i855 GPU. It installed without a glitch (live CD) and runs like a Swiss watch. Not to mention among other things: there is no Mono crap, default UID is 002 (vs Debian Ubuntu 022), the distro is very polished, a lot less eye candy. An overall nice and unexpected surprise. The latest Ubuntu releases have been a disappointment and a very bad experience on my hardware (3 older notebooks). Fedora 13 on the same hardware run fine. This might be different with a recent hardware, but for those annoyed with the grub2, kernel boot settings, ppa kernel to install, etc... simply install a distribution, you might want to give the Fedora 13 live CD a try. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

The V9 kernel patch does in fact let me run Lucid on my Intel 855GME based laptop, which I coudn't before. However, even though xvinfo shows the X-Video Extension with Video Overlay the performance is down relative to Karmic. Both can do 720P video, but Karmic can just keep up with 1080 and Lucid cannot. On the 1080 video on Karmic I see Xorg at 12% of the cpu with 20% idle headroom. On the 1080 video on Lucid I see Xorg at 38% of the cpu with 0% idle and it can't keep up. Any thoughts of why the difference?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
Chris, I've just tested the PPA and I get two bugs: 1) When trying to play a video with gstreamer and XV, I get the following error: The program 'gstreamer-properties' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 60 error_code 11 request_code 132 minor_code 19) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) I got the error with both totem and gstreamer-properties. Using non-XV output, it works fine though. 2) I tried to activate compiz, but all I got was an Xorg crash. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
@chis I've installed the module from your PPA on a cuple of new-installed boxes, and unfortunatly this seems to makes things even worse than the drivers released within Lucid until now. I'm able to get the boxes running installation and then running Lucid from harddisk, but ONLY by supplying the extra kerne parameter i915.modeset=1 in Grub in both cases. Then after opgrading the installation from your PPA, I'm still not able to boot without this parameter - the boxes completly freeses just before X starts without it. Then supplying this kernel parameter while using the modules from your PPA, I got the boxes up and running, but with som odd experinces in the desktop enviroment (KDE) - like menu entries suddenly changing colours and making them nearly dissapear into the menu-background. Videoes now playes without imidiate X crash though, but without picture ever seen (black screen in the gecko-mediaplayer plugin). And after I've stopped the player X and closed the browser, X sometimes crashes completely. But I have a question though, why can I make an unmodified Lucid run perfect on those boxes by using the kernel image 2.6.32-17, 2.6.33-5, 2.6.34 or now 2.6.35 from the Ubuntu Mainline archive (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) ?. No kernel parameter needed, compiz and video playing runs fine and even functions like Brightness control, OSD (found ind KDE) for sound and brightness among other things (not seen working with the released Lucid kernel ever) just works. And then why was KMS disabled for i855 in_last_minute_before_release, just to make Lucid uninstallable to most ordenary i855 user, and making a lot of fuss when they try to upgrade (is this good for a LTS rel.) ?. I can't help wonder why workarounds for a bug, witch to me seems introdused/exposed by the Ubuntu specifik kernels (according to above), are hunted so bad in modules eksternal to the kernel. The real problem must reside in backporting things from the 2.6.33 kernel to the 2.6.32 kernel as both mainline kernel 2.6.32 and 2.6.33 seems working okay - and more people have in different i855 related bugreports replied that they use those kernels as a workaround, some from the backported kernel PPA (https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa) though. It would be great if Maverick isn't going suffer this fate, and it have until now (Alpha 1, 2 2+) been running okay on one of those (i855) boxes with its default 2.6.35 kernel... -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
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: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

@Brian Rogers Many thanks - I'd just like to report that your patch (linux-image-2.6.34-v9patch-generic) appears to be working perfectly for me, with my i855 HP Compaq Nx5000. I'm not trying anything fancy regarding video - but can report that the system now starts normally, no freeze during boot, and - so far - no odd messages. Further, using Cheese with my (equally) ancient webcam does not crash the system either, which happened with previous attempts at fixes. It is also remaining stable with advanced visual effects selected via desktop background. Only thing I haven't tried is suspend - but that is because I need to press down on the casing of my old machine near the power input to get it to power up at all with any OS - and I always had problems with suspend, anyway (go figure...). So I have removed the 10.04 rc7 Mainline kernel at last!! I'll report back if I get any problems.

I found a reliable way to reproduce the problem with 2.6.34-v9patch-generic: - if I start my laptop on AC or battery, then suspend it, it works. - if I plug my laptop on AC, then suspend it, it works. - if I put it back to battery, then suspend it, two things can happen: 1) it tries to suspend, but fails, but I can go on working. 2) it tries to suspend, but fails, and everything is frozen... - if I put my laptop on battery, then plug it back to AC, and then try to suspend it, if will fail as if it were on battery.

Thanks Brian: I'm one of those with an 855 Intel chipset. I tried out your system patch on a completely clean 10.04 install. Though the dots animation screen proior to the login screen is not visible, log in proceeds perfectly. Only problem is my Compiz graphics have been reduced to the Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 range where video playing in media player of VLC does not track window dragging until the window is released. Additionally, Windows-E does not resize the video playing in the window. This means I'm back to playing one video at a time as the video playback is locked to a hard screen region, not to a logical screen region. Additionally the sleep problem fixed with 10.04 has reverted back to 9.04. If I close and reopen the lid while the system is running, the system locks. Regressing my system by 6 to 12 months is not the way to go. Sorry. I should mention that aside from the sleep problem, I have full 3D compiz graphics with no glitches in the default install of 9.10 I'm still running as my main system on the same Dell x300 laptop. Thanks for the effort. Hope this helps. Now about the rumors.. is this maybe a problem in Intel's driver supporting my older hardware, and are they doing any work?

Tried then rebooting with the vanilla kernel. river halts. Go back to V9 kernel. Boots to desktop. Seems to make no difference whether the driver in xorg.conf is set to vesa or intel. xorg detects my machine as double-headed. Presumably one is the external monitor socket.

Julien, did you try linux-image-2.6.34-v9patch-generic from ppa:brian- rogers/graphics-fixes ? It's based on the final 2.6.34, so should have some bug fixes. But if it doesn't work as well as 2.6.34rc7-51-generic, then there's some sort of regression and we'll try to hunt it down. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

We do not see them talking about retries already a few days .. or realized that the solution involves something that one can not fight, such as the regression they spoke, I again ask why they do not make a clone of the kernel with such regression, ONLY to us that uses 855? perhaps this is simply for who knows how to do? I know it does not and the real solution .. but that would put us right back to work until that in the future ,this Bug can be solve!! and if possible, would only put him in the repository that anyone could install it and everything would be solved (for now) that would allow time so that they could think of a better solution, I ask this because really NEED UBUNTU to work .. .. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

It is good to see some folk getting 10.04+855GM working using various new kernels, but I expect I am not alone in saying that I am unlikely to load 10.04 on my 855GM Toshiba Satellite A10 (still 9.04 after a poor experience with 9.10 also) until: 1 Upstream release a newer kernel that works really well with 855GM (IF it's possible) and is ... 2 ... cut into Ubuntu 10.04 as a respin, so that I can simply download the CD, install and enjoy I might just about cope with a special install (boot time options re vesa, 915 nosplash etc), provided that an immediately following update pulls the new kernel and leaves the machine perfect from then on! I expect there are many who want to convert from the dark side who would not be prepared to do even that. In the meantime I am actually considering refreshing the Toshiba with a repeat install of 9.04 (I like to do a clean reload every year or so, even with Ubuntu but especially of W... you know what). If 1 and possibly 2 does not happen, I am likely to move the ~8 year old Toshiba back to its original WXP and find someone else who wants it. I never had any screen trouble with it under WXP. I believe 855GM has some fundamental flaws, and it certainly has some limitations that have begun to annoy me as high resolution second screens become available, namely its max 2048x2048 virtual display space. For nice intuitive use, you REALLY do want a second screen that is on the right hand side of the desk also to be VIRTUALLY on the right hand side of the laptop screen, and that cannot happen with 855GM if the second screen is more than 1024 wide (hard to get one as small as that now!!). So for me, perhaps it is time to retire the Toshiba to light duties elsewhere, and move on. Sad for one like me who likes to squeeze the last reasonable drop of use out of everything!! And for me it has been a very good machine.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
I think there's something wrong with v9 of the patch. Stefan Glasenhardt and Brian Rogers's DKMS modules [1] and kernel [2] (respectively) freeze my D505 hard (can't even REISUB) on lid-close. But Daniel Baumann's kernel [3] doesn't freeze on lid-close. The only difference I can see is that Daniel's kernel is dated 4/30 and v9 was posted 5/10. Stefan and Brian's fixes both have v9, but I have no idea what version Daniel has. Guessing v8? Current Lucid kernel (2.6.32-22) and the 2.6.34 mainlines since rc6 all work perfectly on lid-close.

There is a version with working 855 graphics...it's called Windows XP. I have used Ubuntu for the last 5 years and have had my laptop break in some manner on nearly every upgrade (usually Broadcom networking), but this issue is the final straw. Microsoft may be the great evil, but they would never release a product that would break so many machines and remain so silent for so long. I have subscribed to every thread, read every comment, tried all the kernel updates, driver regressions, formatted and reinstalled clean and my D400 is still nearly useless for most common tasks, requiring me to boot to XP on a daily basis for anything more complicated than gmail. I am planning my HTPC and was researching MythTV for many weeks, but this issue has convinced me that Windows Media Center is the way to go for professional, reliable operation and trustworthy updates.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
I would like to add that 855 graphics do not work properly on Microsoft operating systems. Windows XP, including Media Center Edition, is not a supported operating system (mainstream support ended 4/14/2009) and is therefore not germane to any conversation involving a currently- supported operating system. Windows Vista is still available for certain locales, and mainstream support ends 4/10/2012. Windows Vista supports most, but not all, i852/855 systems, and may be an option for some. The currently-supported and sold version of Windows is called Windows 7, and 852/855 graphics are completely unsupported by both Microsoft and Intel. Community-based workarounds are available, with varying degrees of success. Microsoft and Intel together released a product that broke every i852/855 machine still in existence. Please be aware that on Windows XP or Windows XP MCE, you will be entirely on your own for product support because Microsoft is no longer interested in supporting you (unless you have a qualifying Microsoft Support Agreement in place). If you are interested in support on Ubuntu 10.04, your support will end in 2013 for desktop systems or 2015 for server systems. This comment was off topic, and in reply to another off-topic comment. Please ensure that your comments directly contribute to adding further information about the i855 GPU lockup problem described in the bug report, including successes or failures caused by system updates. For my part, I'm still experiencing the problem on mainline 2.6.34-lucid, so it isn't fixed yet.

Any lucid kernel update will supersed it. Also updates without containing this fix.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
Is there 64-bit capable hardware with i8xx graphics? I just assumed it was too old for that. I'm going to post a 2.6.34 (final release) kernel with the latest patch for this bug to my PPA. If there are i8xx machines with 64-bit, I'll make sure to include a 64-bit build. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
@Thoer (#162 etc/usw). Many, many thanks for that effort. Slight bug initially evident on my i8xx machine, in that application (eg Firefox) may open without showing the app bar at the top containing its minimize, maximize and close symbols, and closing under file-close still leaves the app showing in the bottom Ubuntu toolbar, and that app manifestation cannot be gotten rid of without a complete restart. However, this problem has now disappeared with today's ppa.launchpad.net/glasen source update. Brilliant!! No rigorous testing done by me, however. I do have this query... what happens long term, as this (altered kernel?) gets replaced via normal (official) updates. Will I need, eventually, to modify my grub to ensure this unofficial version is the one that loads? Still - mustn't complain. Ubuntu is now a joy to use once more...

Both work. Up to a point. I have 3D desktop but as soon as I launch Movie Player, either with a video or audio file, the screen freezes. Everything continues to run (I can hear the audio) but my system is effectively nuked. Both break in this way. The crash also happens if I turn off Compiz and work on a 2D desktop. It is very nice to have a full 3D desktop again, but without multimedia, I will be keeping my sleep problematic 9.10 partition where it is and use the 10.04 for testing. Thanks for the pointers. The problem seems to go a lot deeper than expected. My original bug was the black screen at boot problem.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
just upgraded from karmic to lucyd on my dell inspiron 700m with intel graphic card: after boot it crashes nice. The solution (using an old kernel) found on post #54 from this duplicate bug page https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/568779?comments=all ### 1. After power on your PC, press shift (keep press) until see boot loader menu. Choose a recovery mode option. 2. On next step select start failsafeX session. 3. Choose OK when advert for poor resolution. 4. Login in, your are now on your desktop 5. Open a terminal command line (Application Accessories - terminal) 6. Type this command and press enter (without quotes): sudo -i and enter your password. 7. Type this command and press enter (without quotes): cd /tmp 8. Type this command and press enter (without quotes): wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc5-lucid/linux-image-2.6.34-020634rc5-generic_2.6.34-020634rc5_i386.deb; 9. Type this command and press enter (without quotes): dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.34-020634rc5-generic_2.6.34-020634rc5_i386.deb 10. Type this command and press enter (whitout quotes): apt-get update apt-get upgrade 11 . Type this command and press enter (whitout quotes): init 6 ## worked fine for me. Still unfortunate to see a good old display problem i d encounter on edgy can resurface like this. -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
