[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1007765] Re: brightness adjusting crashes system
This is happening on my Lenovo T510 which uses Nvidia so I don't think the video driver has anything to do with it. This bug (for me) is also the worst kind in that it's intermittent. Tonight, the system locked up when I forgot about this problem and it hosed a partition that was in the middle of being resized. -- 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/1007765 Title: brightness adjusting crashes system Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in Fedora: New Bug description: When adjusting my laptops brightness the system crashes. what logs do in need to add and how to get them?

The problem persists in 14.04. The solution in comment #96 still does not resolve the issue for me. I can confirm Rahul's observation in #116. Adjusting the brightness before the kernel loads works.

I believe I have successfully solved the bug now by reading all the comments again and found a solution in #96. I added echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog before "exit 0" in the file etc/rc.local.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1007765] Re: brightness adjusting crashes system
Dear George, I am quite sure, this does not fix the problem. I investigated this in deep now, let me elaborate on this. At first I forgot to mention, my system is entirely a 64bit one, may be this is importand. Secondly, I have only one AMD/ATI HD4500 card build into my notebook as a graphincs card. This is no intel, radeon or fglrx issue. But may be forcing intel interface reveals some stuff intel fixed in their code path. I got fluctuate_bl.sh to test this out from here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57571 This script penetrates the /sys/class/backlight/acpi_backlight0/brightness interface with a interval which may be configured. It can be called penetrating another interface. My Kernel offers acpi_backlight0 (values 0..15) and radeon_bl0 (values 0..255). When I penetrate the acpi_backlight0 the system freezes almost immediately, penetrating radeon_bl0 lasts a bit longer to make the system freeze. What I learned is, adding a delay for example of 0.2s looks more stable on first sight but acpi interface lasts not much longer either, pentrating radeon_bl0 lasts going out to smoke a cigarette but will crash. Again, rdaeon_bl0 looks a bit more robust. The delay seems to be relevant for a statistic feeling. Changing with xorg.conf or kernel command line from acpi interface away to vendor one could look better but only on first sight! If I do echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog Both tests are running for ages (0 delay!). SOLVED! I tested the acpi_backlight=vendor kernel command line. acpi_backlight0 vanishes and dell backlight appears under /sys/class/backlight. Despite of the fact there is no brightness interface under this new directory I can penetrate the interface with the fluctuate_bl.sh script, but only the backlight OSD appeears (running kde here) but the brightness does not change. Penetrating the still existing radeon_bl0 interface yields to the well known crash.

Unfortunately, the solution that worked for George does not work on my Lenovo ThinkPad W530, running Ubuntu 13.10. After trying to adjust brightness, I see the brightness graphic on the screen, and the system freezes immediately. This laptop has NVidia - Intel hybrid graphics, so the bug is likely not related to fglrx I'm not able to disable the virtualization options in BIOS, since those are necessary for running VirtualBox. That is necessary for the work I do, in the job where this laptop is used. -- 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/1007765 Title: brightness adjusting crashes system Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When adjusting my laptops brightness the system crashes. what logs do in need to add and how to get them?

Hello to you all! I am showing up here because I have the same issue. I found this thread this morning after blaming the hardware on my notebook for a year but rethinking this to be a software issue this morning. I will try out the solutions here to contribute on this this evening. Please, how are the actual informations on pinning down this issue to a subsystem? What I want to contribute at first is technical stuff. I have exactly the same issue on this constellation (all tried out in 2013): Dell Studio 1558 with BIOS A04 and A12, HD4500 ATI debian or archlinux installed several installed linux-3.1n.x versions several recent fglrx catalyst legacy drivers several recent open source radeon drivers Yes, no ubuntu launchpad issue at all! Yes, all the same crash but the pattern on screen after crash is different: fglrx is flashing a couple of chars in the pattern, radeon displays a mor simple pattern with no flashing chars.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1007765] Re: brightness adjusting crashes system
I fresh installed Ubuntu 13.10, so it was using free drivers by default. And it crashed when I tried to change brightness rapidly. So I think the bug is not present in fglrx-installer. Now I am using AMD drivers, but my brightness control doesn't work properly, it either increases or decreases after pressing the key many times, the progress bar in indicator is displayed correctly but brightness changes randomly. After echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog, crash doesn't occur. -- 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/1007765 Title: brightness adjusting crashes system Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When adjusting my laptops brightness the system crashes. what logs do in need to add and how to get them?

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1007765] Re: brightness adjusting crashes system
I never had this bug until yesterday. "acpi_backlight=vendor" and/or the "echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog" solution didn't work for me. I couldn't install the latest mainline kernel, because of my restricted broadcom WiFi driver I'm depending on. Workaround for me was: Disable Virtualization Features of my Intel Core i7 in BIOS. I think I can live without virtualization features for some time. But in future I want to use VirtualBox, where these features are necessary.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1007765] Re: brightness adjusting crashes system
Marwan, your workaround did in fact fix the problem for me. I'll add that when I tried your workaround (echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog), I REMOVED acpi_backlight=vendor (which I already had) at the same time. I rebooted and both problems were fixed: I could change the backlight using my keyboard AND changing the backlight no longer caused the computer to freeze. I haven't tried putting acpi_backlight=vendor back in my grub configuration to see if that breaks anything. -- 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/1007765 Title: brightness adjusting crashes system Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When adjusting my laptops brightness the system crashes. what logs do in need to add and how to get them?

Then, let's do some testing. Could you please do the following: - Boot the system with acpi_backlight=vendor - sudo echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog - cat /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog (make sure the output is 0) - Try changing the brightness using the keyboard keys, and see whether a freeze would happens or not. Note that if you just put echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog in /etc/rc.local, then you are going to need to reboot the system in order for the script to be executed.

On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 06:10:50PM -, Aditya wrote: > May be the community is looking for the solution in the wrong direction. Well, I will elaborate on this bug once and for all. First of all, we can't blame the Linux kernel for this bug, because it is firmware-specific. "firmware-specific" means that the peace of software (i.e., the backlight driver) causing this bug is written by the affected systems manufacturers (Dell, HP, etc.), and burned into the BIOS ROM chips of those systems. This software is closed-source, so there is no way to fix it, other than via firmware updates provided by the manufacturers. The freeze happens at the time of the interaction between the Linux kernel and the backlight driver provided by the firmware. Basically, It happens as follows: - The user adjust the brightness using the keyboard hot keys, or a software application (e.g., gnome-control-center). - In the first case, The X window system provides a prioritized list of backlight drivers interfaces (exported by the Linux kernel under /sys/class/backlight/) that are used for handling the keyboard key presses. The highest priority interface, which are present on the system, is used. - In the second case, the software application just selects the interface to use for adjusting the brightness from the currently available interfaces under /sys/class/backlight/ - Depending on the driver underlying the interface selected at the previous step, the system may or may not enter SMM (System Management Mode) to adjust the brightness. SMM is an operational mode which the system enters when it wants to run critical firmware (e.g., the peace of software responsible for shutting down the system when the processor temperature hit a critical threshold, or in our case, the peace of software responsible for adjusting the brightness level, etc). When the system is executing software in SMM, it is no longer under the control of the Linux kernel, and is fully controlled by the firmware executed. The video0_acpi and the dell_backlight (or whatever it's called on systems other than Dell) interfaces under /sys/class/backlight/, are interfaces, exported by the Linux kernel, for firmware drivers that execute in SMM. So if they are selected in the previous step, the system is going to enter SMM for adjusting the brightness. On the other hand, the intel_backlight interface on systems with Intel Graphics is just an interface for the Linux kernel driver responsible for adjusting the backlight level of the intel graphics chip. It is executed just like any other driver in the Linux kernel, without the need to enter special modes like SMM. So, if this driver is buggy, we can say that the Linux kernel is buggy, because it is considered part of the kernel. So, we have two cases: 1. The driver underlying the interface selected (by the X window system or the software application used for adjusting the brightness) is firmware. In this case, when adjusting the brightness, the Linux kernel just instructs the processor to enter SMM in order to execute the instructions of this driver, and when finished, it takes control back on the system. 2. The driver underlying the interface selected, is the Linux kernel driver for the graphics chip. In this case, when adjusting the brightness, this driver, provided by the Linux kernel, is responsible for doing the job, while the system is fully controlled by the Linux kernel, and without the need for entering any special modes like SMM for executing opaque firmware. In case 1, we have a problem, because the kernel has another driver, exported via /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog, that uses a hardware timer to periodically issue signals called NMIs (Non-Maskable Interrupts) every second or two. If an NMI is emitted while the system is operating in SMM, the buggy firmware executing in SMM causes the system to freeze. In case 2, we are fine, because there is no buggy firmware involved. The apci_backlight=vendor solution is not reliable, because all it does is to instruct the Linux kernel to not export the acpi_video0 interface, which is the interface for the BIOS ACPI backlight driver that is executed from SMM. But, it also instructs the kernel to export

I have Dell Inspiron N5010 , Core i3, 4 GB RAM AND INTEL HD After updating to 3.2.xx the system starts hanging when the brightness was adjusted. I googled and found that it was a kernel bug. So i leaned how to compile my own kernel. NOW I HAVE 3.10.5 Kenel BUT TO MY SURPRISE THIS BUG WAS STILL DER. :`-( But then more googling got me to this thread and MARWANS SOLUTION (NO. 71) WORKING FOR ME...
