I've just marked a lot of bugs as duplicates of this one, so that we can
hopefully get to the bottom of the Great Gen4 Chrome Hang of 2014.

Firstly, apologies if your bug is not actually the same bug as all of
the rest. It's hard to determine that in advance.

It looks like this report was the first, and it's from the end of June.
What changed when you started experiencing the hang? Did you update
Mesa, the kernel, or Chrome itself?

Does reverting to a version of one of these from, say, April avoid the
problem? If so, that's great and we should be able to bisect it.

Well, it never worked for me (I'm the reporter of bug 85824) but I tried
chrome only very recently (v 38.0.2125.111).

On the other hand I have a case that reproduces bug 85824 100% of the
times: bootstrap, login, launch chrome, go to the chrome store, don't
touch anything, wait a few instants ... video hangs.

The mainboard that this graphics chipset was embedded in has failed and
I no longer have it available for testing. (Failure seemed to be DIMM
related; probably not relevant to this bug.)

I rolled out Mint 17 with Chrome perhaps two weeks after its release/two
weeks before opening this report. These intermittent failures started
happening immediately. The failures persisted throughout all subsequent
system/Chrome updates until the board died a few weeks ago.

Unfortunately, I was not able to identify any cases under which this set
of packages worked stably on this graphics chipset.

(The new system with different mainboard is running the same packages;
just moved the hard disc over. No failures have occurred since swapping
to a different mainboard/graphics chipset.)

The bug just doesn't happen on Chromium Version 34.0.1847.116 Built on
Ubuntu 14.04, running on LinuxMint 17 aura (260972).

I have tested it with and without the chromium ffmpeg extra codecs
package.

I have tested flash videos and html5 videos.

There is no bug with this version.

Of course I'd like to use the newer versions of Chrome and Chromium.

lagreca, I think Chrome was still using software acceleration for page 
rendering in version 34.  It hadn't changed it to hardware acceleration yet.  I 
am not 100% sure though.
Another factor that is not mentioned here is that Chrome is not the only app 
that causes the crash.  Glmark2, an OpenGL benchmark app, causes exactly the 
same issue when it reaches the "Idea" test.

Alex,

But I checked the box to enable hardware acceleration when available.

If there are other programs affected, then I must agree with you that
it's really a driver's bug.

But the Chromium version I installed works for me.

They keep changing things.  The fact that hardware acceleration is
enabled, doesn't mean that all functions are enabled too.  If you type
chrome://gpu on your search bar, you will see a more thorough list of
what is actually enabled and what's not yet.  They keep certain
functions disabled till they become stable.

On my system, the Web store is crashing the GPU each and every time I go
there without disabling hardware acceleration first.  It's not random.
The web store has no videos.  hotmail is doing it too but randomly.
Google Chrome download page caused it once too.  It has to be something
else or there maybe 2 or 3 factors causing this.

4 months is probably wrong.  It was a long time though.  :)

The GPU-Hung bug first occured about 2 weeks beforei've reported it here. So I 
should check versions before 2014-06-12. Probably bug was introduced in one of 
this upgrades:

It is reproducing on my machine as well (GLmark2 ideas crashes the GPU, "render

for me the issue showed up when jumping from ubuntu 10.04 to ubuntu 14.04.
However, I'm not sure that the glmark issue and the chrome issue are related.
Matt Turner, any way I can help diagnose/resolve the issue?

You're right, Alex.

I only hope that it helps to identify when the bug first happened and
why. Maybe it's enough to eliminate it.

I'm really surprised to see that switching to UXA really helped you because 
that exact test was the very first I did when the bug first appeared and it 
didn't work at all.  Actually, I didn't even have to visit the Web Store in 
order to produce it.  I just attempted to watch a random video on Youtube and 
the screen went black at once.  I didn't even need a second test.  :)

First of all thank you for showing us this workaround.  I read about
drirc and found about driconf too and how we can set those options.
Using this syntax though: "always_flush_cache=true
always_flush_batch=true /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable & exit" runs
chrome and closes the terminal right after and I guess this seems to be
a better way to handle a temporary situation than changing dri settings
and then changing them back to what they were when a fix is released.

I'd like to ask what the drawbacks for these two settings are though.
Are they slowing things down for the specific app that's using them for
example?

It works - as in it doesn't crash the GPU, but screen flickers (goes
black quickly and then shows content again) and system becomes
unresponsive until the page is finished rendering.

What you're describing, is the way they've programmed the new Chrome 39
to handle the problem.  This happens if you don't issue the
"always_flush..." settings or if they don't work for some reason.

The point is that if the symptoms you're describing happen, it means
that the driver is switching off hardware acceleration completely for
the whole system and it uses software rendering for all apps afterwards.
That's why you can see the contents afterwards.

You can verify this by checking the Xorg.0.log file in /var/log.  You
will see a line near the end of the file saying "Disabling hardware
acceleration...".

Personally, I'm using this method to start Chrome on my system which is
Ubuntu based.  I am opening a terminal and I'm pasting the line
"always_flush_cache=true always_flush_batch=true /usr/bin/google-chrome-
stable & exit".  After pressing ENTER, the terminal is closed
automatically and Chrome starts as usual.

Doesn't seem to be it. Xorg.0.log doesn't show anything like that.

The only difference error is in my syslog:

Nov 28 20:13:20 mint kernel: [ 7497.992041] [drm] stuck on render ring

...etc

And if it did turn off hardware rendering it probably wouldn't happen on
each page refresh like it does currently.

Starting chrome with those parameters does the trick, but doesn't work
if chrome gets started by clicking link in an external application for
example.

Hopefully better fix, either by intel or google, will make it in
official repositories.

I use this in my chrome.desktop
Exec=env always_flush_cache=true always_flush_batch=true 
/usr/bin/google-chrome-unstable %U

But my chrome has been failing to paint tabs, and refreshing them does
nothing. I have to open a new tab and enter the same links, or duplicate
the tabs.

This "unstable" I see in the path, wouldn't have something to do with

Thank you. I am unfamiliar with the env parameter for the Exec= entry. I
had tried basically the same Exec= statement as your suggestion less the
env and it failed. Afer adding the env it works fine. Thanks again.
