[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 994203] Re: Xorg freeze with Nouveau drivers
I've been having similar experiences on 64 bit systems, both with an ATI RADEON 4650 in my Desktop, and Intel HD (on chip i5 3210m) graphics. As it affects Noveau, NVidia, ATI and Intel, it really does not seem to be related to graphics drivers. I suspect this is a much more frequent problem than reported as it requires a fair bit of knowledge to extract the relevant logs upon a crash. Thus the majority of bug reports about this problem get shot down due to lack of attachments which obviously require the user knowing how to drop to a shell and copy logs across using the command line. This is a full unrecoverable system hang, just as bad as a Windows BSOD. It is a major bug and needs attention. The symptoms are as described above: suddenly, for no reason, in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 the desktop will freeze with the launcher on the left and any windows being unresponsive. Widgets in the taskbar at the top continue to remain animated, but none of these respond to mouse clicks. I am able to move the mouse, but nothing responds. I can drop to the shell with Ctrl+Alt+F1. Restarting Compiz does not fix the problem. Restarting Unity does not fix the problem. The only thing I can do is reboot the system which obviously causes DATA LOSS from any open programs. While in the shell I took the liberty of making copies of syslog, dmesg, Xorg.log and kern.log. Hopefully this will shed some more light on the issue and stop Ubuntu devs from passing the buck to the graphics drivers about this important bug. ** Attachment added: crash-dmesg.txt https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/994203/+attachment/3470340/+files/crash-dmesg.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994203 Title: Xorg freeze with Nouveau / ATI / intel HD / NVidia graphics on 64 bit systems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/994203/+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 994203] Re: Xorg freeze with Nouveau drivers
The problem is there are a million possible reasons why a freeze could occur, usually nouveau dies after an invalid instruction or memory access occurs. There is some work being done so the system won't completely freeze in the future, but it's not complete yet. If the screen freezes, can you log in from a different machine, grab /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of 'dmesg'?

I'm having a similar bug with the radeon driver. Randomly (though often when watching youtube) the screen would just stop updating. I could move the mouse cursor around and I think it was accepting keyboard input but nothing on the screen updated. I could ctrl-alt-f1 over and kill the x session and everything would be fine for awhile again.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 994203] Re: Xorg freeze with Nouveau drivers
I switched to the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver, and I got just the same - freeze when using LibreOfficer writer (this time when selecting text). So perhaps this in an xorg bug, not just the nouveau drivers, or perhaps the same bug is in both drivers. Can we move this to High importance? In addition to the reasons described before, I for one am in the position where I have no alternative - the other drivers give the same result, and I cannot use LibreOffice for typically more than a few minutes without a full freeze that basically requires a reboot to fix. This is a very high impact bug! I'm going to have to try another distro before long, because I do need to use LibreOffice sometimes, and cannot do so at the moment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994203 Title: Xorg freeze with Nouveau drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/994203/+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 994203] Re: Xorg freeze with Nouveau drivers
Is there any chance of increasing the importance of this bug? This bug is the equivalent of BSOD (all your running apps have to be terminated), and it's happening to me multiple times a day. I can barely use LibreOffice at all, as it usually causes a freeze within a few minutes of use. It's happening 'randomly' at other times too. Based on the criteria for High importance here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance ...I'd classify this as severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users, and it affects an essential hardware component. I would say it also fits Renders essential features or functionality of the application or dependencies broken or ineffective, as it means I basically can't scroll in any LibreOffice application. So I'd say it fulfils 2-3 of the criteria on that list, and only one is needed.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 994203] Re: Xorg freeze with Nouveau drivers
I'm getting this quite regularly with LibreOffice when scrolling using the scroll wheel. It has happened twice in Writer, within an hour, and just now in Calc within a few minutes of opening it. The whole interface freezes and does not respond to anything, but the mouse still moves. I can still switch to a VT and run commands from there. Restarting lightdm restores the system without a reboot. I can't find anything in the logs that seems relevant, unfortunately - looked in dmesg, kernlog, syslog, ~/.xsession-errors Please let me know if there are commands I can run from a VT to help debug this, as not being able to use LibreOffice without risking this is a real killer for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994203 Title: Xorg freeze with Nouveau drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/994203/+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

Can you get a dmesg blindly after a freeze? From what I can tell in the Xorg log the card froze, which likely means there's more information in the kernel log. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994203 Title: Xorg freeze with Nouveau drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/994203/+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
