Package: metacity Version: 2.34.1-2 Severity: important Hello,
With the delivery of GNOME 3 into Testing, Metacity was upgraded from version 2.30.1-3 to version 2.34.1-2. Since then, I'm experiencing stability issue when running "OpenGL-intensive" applications (e.g. ioQuake3-based applications or WebGL Conformance Test Suite https://cvs.khronos.org/svn/repos/registry/trunk/public/webgl/sdk/tests/webgl-conformance-tests.html): application runs fine for 10-20 sec. and then seems to lock up. Switching to a text console shows multiple instances of error messages like: [drm:radeon_ib_schedule] *ERROR* radeon: couldn't schedule IB(11) [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* Failed to schedule IB! Stopping and restarting X didn't help: the display is then garbaged, and switching back again to the text console reports the same error messages. This is with current Metacity 2.34.1-2 when running GNOME 3 in fallback mode (I can't try GnomeShell at this time because of an udev issue). I'm pretty sure this has to deal with some Metacity processing now performed by the GPU, whereas 2.30.1-3 was relying upon CPU. Indeed, I had no problem with Metacity 2.30.1-3 that was previously in Testing. However, I was experiencing the same kind of problem when switching the window manager from Metacity to Mutter in the GNOME 2 era, and IIRC, Mutter was heavily relying upon the GPU. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: ia64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-mckinley (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages metacity depends on: ii gnome-icon-theme 3.2.1.2-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.2.0-2 ii libc6.1 2.13-21 ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.1 ii libcanberra-gtk0 0.28-3 ii libcanberra0 0.28-3 ii libgconf2-4 2.32.4-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.8-1 ii libgnome2-common 2.32.1-2 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.7-1 ii libgtop2-7 2.28.4-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.7-2 ii libmetacity-private0a 1:2.34.1-2 ii libpango1.0-0 1.29.4-2 ii libsm6 2:1.2.0-2 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-1 ii libunwind7 0.99-0.3 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-2 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.3-2 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.12-1 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.3-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.0-3 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0-4 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.1-3 ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.2-2 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-2 ii metacity-common 1:2.34.1-2 ii zenity 3.2.0-1 Versions of packages metacity recommends: ii gnome-session-fallback [x-session-manager] 3.0.2-3 Versions of packages metacity suggests: ii gnome-control-center 1:3.0.2-3 ii gnome-themes 2.30.2-1 ii xdg-user-dirs 0.14-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
