[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1832138] Re: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx using bionic kernel 4.15

bionic-proposed confirmation:

I have tested the updates in bionic-proposed with the VM I created for
this bug as described in comment #63 and can confirm this, like the test
in comment #75, also resolves the issue.

The login screen appears as expected after reboot (with kernel and
updated packages for gir1.2-mutter-2, gnome-shell, gnome-shell-common, &
libmutter-2-0).

  [Impact]

  With most recent version of mutter installed.
  If running kernel is in the 4.15 serie (using the vmwgfx video kernel driver) 
and if the login screen uses wayland, then the login prompt doesn't appears. 
All we see is the purple background with ubuntu in white at the bottom, nothing 
else.

  The vmwgfx driver in kernels prior to 4.17 reported bogus timestamps using 
the wrong clock. This would lead us to wait forever (or at least 49 years)
  before rendering the next frame. There's no decisive way to know this kernel 
bug is going to happen before it does so just detect timestamps which are 
obviously going to cause freezes and ignore them.

  [Test case]

  1) Use Virtualbox or VMware ESxi (if you have the infra)
   1.1) [virtualbox] Make sure in the VM setting that the display uses 'VMSVGA' 
which will force the OS to pick 'vmwgfx' video kernel driver. You can confirm 
with 'lspci -nnvv' command.
  2) Deploy a VM with Ubuntu 18.04.1 (which come w/ 4.15)
  4) apt-get dist-upgrade
  5) Reboot

  with 4.15 it will fails
  with hwe kernel 4.18 it will work as expected. # workaround

  [Potential regression]

  Low, it should fix vmwgfx and stop using the wrong clock.

  A test kernel (pre-sru) has been made available to impact users for
  them to test and conclude it works. It does work as expected, and no
  regression has been found during the pre-sru testing phase.

  As per commit description:

  "
  This should be transparent to to user space, as long as it doesn't
  compare the time against the result of gettimeofday().

2019-06-20 Thread Daniel Gutierrez
Additional confirmation...

Looks like this updated kernel fixes the issue on the affected test VM I
created.

Using the detailed directions in comment #75, I was able to install the
new test kernel and reboot.

Verified the expected version value with uname and then installed the
packages that were previously hanging from the copies I archived with
the test VM and rebooted.

Login showed up and functioned as normal.  This appears to be the ideal
fix.

2019-06-20 Thread Daniel Gutierrez
Here is the last of the output after running the first test repo update
command in comment #73 on the Bug1832138VM.zip VM I built.

I'm guessing either there is an integrity issue upstream or more likely
there is a missing step so that a system that has been using the default
repo settings is superseded by the test repo for the updated package(s).
If I ignore these errors and upgrade after update I get the 49 year hang
on reboot.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1832138] Re: Login screen never appears on vmwgfx but installing kernel >= v4.17-rc1 (or using WaylandEnable=false) fixes it

2019-06-19 Thread Daniel Gutierrez
Because it was mentioned in comment #15 & #34 that this bug cannot be
reproduced, I decided to create a VMWare VM from scratch which managed
to be affected on my first attempt.

I started with ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
(19e10acddd14af9a9150399d876b02933c0ee724) and created a snapshot with
all the live packages, as of today (06/19/2019), except for the 4 I
noted in comment #28.  Simply start the VM, update the out of date
packages via the internet or via the provided copies of the deb files on
the desktop, and reboot to reproduce the bug (infinite UI hang before
login).

Bug1832138VM.zip (3fd83148ebeceacd48bca7b9f02c1d714c9391ca)
Download from:  https://pride-rock-labs.com/Bug1832138VM.zip
VM Credentials:  vmuser | vmpassword

I made this VM under near identical conditions to the original poster
(Pat).  This means I now have reproduced the issue under ESXi and
Fusion.

I have regular snapshots of my ESXi virtual machines and so using a

describing.  I got down to the following packages:

login screen.  And I can't use Ctrl+Alt+F2 to navigate to a console/tty login.

  I can SSH into the system however.

  I've found that I can work around the hang/freeze if I uncomment the 
following line in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf;
  #WaylandEnable=false

  After uncommenting the WaylandEnable=false line and rebooting, then I
  see the login prompt as expected and I can then log in and use the
  system normally again.

  After the 'apt upgrade' my system is running linux kernel 4.15.0-51,
  as shown in this 'uname -a' output;
