[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1763273] Re: kernel panic in Radeon driver while screen blank
After several weekends of testing, I believe I can report with high confidence that the kernel update to 4.17-rc2 fixes the second of the two problems; specifically, we no longer see kernel crashes after using Alt-SysRq-k to recover from frozen/hanging blank screens. However, the unable-to-unblank problem remains; after normal screen blanking, about 50% of the time we are unable to recover by moving the cursor or typing a key. Instead, only Alt-SysRq-k allows us to recover back to a guest login screen. There doesn't seem to be much in the system logs that I can find, except possibly this: May 20 20:41:04 Comprm8 gnome-session[7919]: gnome-session-binary[7919]: GLib-GIO-CRITICAL: g_dbus_connection_call_internal: assertion 'object_path != NULL && g_variant_is_object_path (object_path)' failed May 20 20:41:04 Comprm8 gnome-session-binary[7919]: GLib-GIO-CRITICAL: g_dbus_connection_call_internal: assertion 'object_path != NULL && g_variant_is_object_path (object_path)' failed Some seemingly similar bug reports from out in the wild: https://askubuntu.com/questions/795014/ubuntu-16-04-occasionally-hangs-with-screen-off-after-switching-ttys-or-turning https://askubuntu.com/questions/949764/ubuntu-hangs-when-unlocking-screen Can you recommend any approaches to help debug the root cause of this problem, presumably in X and/or the radeon driver? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763273 Title: kernel panic in Radeon driver while screen blank Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I maintain a set of older kiosks running a mix of stock Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 16.04.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1763273] Re: kernel panic in Radeon driver while screen blank
One further historical detail: when these machines were running 14.04.3 and we made the mistake of accepting the HardWare Enablement (HWE) upgrade: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL which replaced the old fglrx driver with the radeon one, that's when we first encountered this unable-to-unblank problem. Fortunately, at that time we were able to roll back Xorg to 1.16 and keep things sort-of working: https://askubuntu.com/questions/815591/ubuntu-14-04-5-16-04-and-newer-on-amd-graphics https://askubuntu.com/questions/676216/downgrade-xorg-server When we performed a clean, full re-install with 16.04 we were hoping this problem would be resolved, but as I've documented here it continues to affect the systems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763273 Title: kernel panic in Radeon driver while screen blank Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I maintain a set of older kiosks running a mix of stock Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 16.04.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1763273] Re: kernel panic in Radeon driver while screen blank
OK ... I think that's all I can do for today. I've uploaded as attachments to this original report all the files generated by apport- bug today, and marked the other ticket as a duplicate. (I apologize for that, but I can't use my personal Launchpad account from the kiosks, and I'm only there once a week, so I used the "RBL Admin" account to generate the requested apport-bug files. I've marked the extra ticket as a duplicate of this one now that I've copied over all the files.) As I noted earlier when I had direct access to the machines, this seems to be a pair of issues, both possibly in the Radeon driver. The "unable to unblank after idle" problem is shown in the Xorg.0.log file from today, and also in the XorgLogOld.txt file from apport-bug -- namely, Xorg errors reporting keyboard and mouse events are being dropped. And, when we do a "hard resume" by issuing Alt-SysRq-k, that sometimes works to get back to the login screen, and sometimes generates a kernel crash in the radeon driver -- as shown in the apr1.full.kern.log (all the /var/log/kern.log* entries from April 1st) and the accompanying kernel stacktrace photo in radeon_kernel_panic1.jpg. Please let me know if there's any further data I can try to collect next week when I'm on-site again.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763273 Title: kernel panic in Radeon driver while screen blank Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I maintain a set of older kiosks running a mix of stock Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 16.04. As we have gradually transitioned them to 16.04, we have noticed that the machines running 16.04.1 now regularly exhibit problems restoring from the blank screen which appears after a period of inactivity. This only occurs on the machines where we've installed 16.04. All of the 16.04.1 installations are "fresh", that is, complete re-installs from scratch, and we install all security and other updates on a regular basis. This problem has persisted right from the beginning when we started using 16.04. Following a period of user inactivity, the screen goes blank; this is, of course, expected. When the user tries to restore the session by typing a key or moving the mouse, one of three outcomes occurs. Sometimes, the session restores normally. Other times, the screen remains blank regardless of all normal keyboard input, until a magic SysRq sequence is performed. After Alt-SysRq-k, either the virtual console resets to a login screen (as expected after this SysRq sequence), or we get a kernel panic text screen (see attached screen photo) and can only restore via a hard power-cycle reboot. I will continue to try to capture a better trace output from one of these conditions, perhaps from /var/log/kern.log or by installing linux-crashdump (although these old machines may not have enough memory for the stock package). But in the meantime, I'm attaching a photo of the kernel panic we see, which suggests a problem may reside in the Radeon driver ... which would seem possible, given the general blank-screen no-resume problem on these systems. Any advice on how to further capture any other needed details would be appreciated. Thanks very much!

While logged in via ssh to the machine with the "hung" Xorg (screen blank, no way to recover except Alt-SysRq-k), I dumped the output of Alt-SysRq-t into the syslog -- see attached file. Not sure this is much use, however.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1763273] Re: kernel panic in Radeon driver while screen blank
Further debugging today while I'm on-site with the kiosks. The system froze, as usual, after normal idle screen blanking. I was able to login via ssh and retrieve some details. First, it appears that the basic screen blanking problem is somehow related to the Radeon driver. I will attach the Xorg.0.log file and a gdb backtrace on the running but non-responsive Xorg process. No keyboard or mouse activity will un-blank the screen. Here's the output from lspci | grep VGA: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series] I'll also attach the PCI ROM dump from the /sys/devices rom file for this device. This suggests that when we use Alt-SysRq-k to restore the system, sometimes we trigger *another* bug in the driver which results in the overall system crash. See the attached apr1.full.kern.log file for what details I could recover from the crash on April 1st; that corresponds to the screen photo I took that day (the radeon_kernel_panic1.jpg attachment). The Xorg "hang" bug which precedes this appears similar, but not identical, to what is documented in #1664979: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1664979 I will continue to try to study the live Xorg process to see if I can determine where its hung, but I may not have time this evening. Let me know if there are specific further debugging steps I can take to examine either the Xorg hang or the subsequent crash which (sometimes) follows on attempting to recover with Alt-SysRq-k. (And note that I'll copy in the files apport-bug generated from #1764211 later tonight, using my "cdarroch" personal account, and then I'll try to close that extra bug report.)

As we have gradually transitioned them to 16.04, we have noticed that the machines running 16.04.1 now regularly exhibit problems restoring from the blank screen which appears after a period of inactivity. This only occurs on the machines where we've installed 16.04. All of the 16.04.1 installations are "fresh", that is, complete re-installs from scratch, and we install all security and other updates on a regular basis. This problem has persisted right from the beginning when we started using 16.04. Following a period of user inactivity, the screen goes blank; this is, of course, expected. When the user tries to restore the session by typing a key or moving the mouse, one of three outcomes occurs. Sometimes, the session restores normally. Other times, the screen remains blank regardless of all normal keyboard input, until a magic SysRq sequence is performed. After Alt-SysRq-k, either the virtual console resets to a login screen (as expected after this SysRq sequence), or we get a kernel panic text screen (see attached screen photo) and can only restore via a hard power-cycle reboot. I will continue to try to capture a better trace output from one of these conditions, perhaps from /var/log/kern.log or by installing linux-crashdump (although these old machines may not have enough memory for the stock package). But in the meantime, I'm attaching a photo of the kernel panic we see, which suggests a problem may reside in the Radeon driver ... which would seem possible, given the general blank-screen no-resume problem on these systems. Any advice on how to further capture any other needed details would be appreciated. Thanks very much!

I'm only on-site with these kiosks once a week, but the next time I'm there I will run apport-collect on one of the affected systems, and see if we can't capture the problem. I'll also investigate whether there are any messages in kernel log files, as best I can. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763273 Title: kernel panic in Radeon driver while screen blank Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I maintain a set of older kiosks running a mix of stock Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 16.04.
