We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help. @Michael, why don't you file a new bug report, and we'll follow up on your issue separately? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306916 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 306916] Re: [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode
This same bug happened to me, too. I can't tell why, all of a sudden. There was no immediate update nor any other system change. My system: laptop with i815 graphics, intrepid with proposed repositories, screen 1280x800. If someone is interested, I can send kern.log and syslog data. Main message is a segmentation fault. Fortunately, the link given here (https://edge.launchpad.net/~intel-gfx-testing/+archive) resolved the problem. The automatic help, i. e. the messages in the low graphics mode GUI, didn't anything useful here. -- [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306916 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 306916] Re: [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode
Okay thanks for the feedback. erica, can you please file your issue as a separate bug report? Scott, we'll leave it open for a while, please let us know if it occurs again in Jaunty or in Intrepid with the updated driver. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Incomplete -- [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306916 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 306916] Re: [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode
As it's actually a friend I'm reporting this for, I don't have immediate access to the laptop in question. However, I haven't heard any complaints lately, and I haven't encountered an situation that sounds like erica's problem. In particular, the problem seems transient, and doing a full reboot after the error message always seems to bring things back to normal.

[Bug 306916] Re: [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode
Thanks for testing; this should go upstream. Setting to Triaged for now. @Scott, can you confirm erica's findings? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High Status: Incomplete = Triaged -- [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306916 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 306916] Re: [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode
all worked well for one day then next day couldn't even start up - after showing the Ubuntu logo a little cursor appeared top left then screen went blank black - this happened 3x in row so I started up in safe mode instead but no Xorg.0.log for bad sessions as obviously not loaded X11 at that point. Twice since then the laptop has hung after doing some simple graphics - not going black this time and no error appearing - mouse moves Ok but no response to any mouse clicks or key presses - had to switch off power in the end. Have saved the logs for these two sessions (attached). Meantime I'm working with Driver vesa to see if that helps as I am finding it difficult to get any work done with this carry on. ** Attachment added: log file when laptop froze first time http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20881343/Xorg.0.log.frozen -- [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306916 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 306916] Re: [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode
Hi, I am getting similar problems after installing Intrepid on my Lenovo 3000 C100 laptop - sometimes it doesn't even start up properly - going to a black screen rather than login prompt but more often doing exactly as Scott says above after variable amounts of time. I don't use any high res graphics stuff - gaming limited to Solitaire type games but mostly used for work purposes. I have installed the latest intrepid debs as per 1 above posted by Bryce. Will let you know whether that solves the problem. erica -- [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306916 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 306916] Re: [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode
[This is an automatic notice.] We'd like to forward your bug upstream, however upstream requires that you first test it against their newer driver code. To save you the effort of building the driver from source, we've built packages for the driver and its new dependencies. So you have a couple options: 1. Download and test .debs for intrepid, from: https://edge.launchpad.net/~intel-gfx-testing/+archive -or- 2. Download and test the Jaunty alpha-2 (or newer) Live CD, (which includes a beta of the new xserver 1.6 as well). See http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/ for ISOs Thanks ahead of time! You can simply reply to this email to report your findings. P.S., if you wish to forward your bug upstream yourself, please follow these directions to do so: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306916 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Summary changed: - [intrepid] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode + [i945] screen shows temporary garbage then goes blank, falls into low-graphics mode ** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel I installed Ubuntu Intrepid on a friend's laptop, but she is getting sporadic X crashes during normal usage. Last time it crashed, she was simply running Firefox, Rhythmbox, and Thunderbird. I don't think any of these applications are to blame, but it's just to show that she wasn't using any complex 3D graphics. Specifically, after working on the laptop for some period of time, the screen will start to show some garbage artifacts. Then quickly (within a second or two), the screen will go black, with subtle shades of green/blue. After a little bit (~10 seconds), an error message will come up saying Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode, and also mentions the following error message (twice): (EE) intel(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler I was able to SSH into the computer and pull some log files, etc. Looking up the error messages turns up many other xorg bug reports, but they don't seem to be quite the same. It's hard to debug this because I'm not sure how to trigger the bug. I can't easily obtain a backtrace because it isn't my laptop, and she generally doesn't keep it running when not in use. So, in hopes that somebody else may know more about this crash, (or at least find the output useful), I'm posting some log files and the output of lspci -vvvnn. In particular: Xorg.0.log, after the crash. The relevant error appears to be: Error in I830WaitLpRing(), timeout for 2 seconds pgetbl_ctl: 0x3ffc0001 getbl_err: 0x ipeir: 0x iphdr: 0x66014140 LP ring tail: 0x01c0 head: 0x0001a95c len: 0x0001f001 start 0x eir: 0x esr: 0x0001 emr: 0x instdone: 0xfa41 instpm: 0x memmode: 0x0306 instps: 0x800f04c4 hwstam: 0xfffe ier: 0x0002 imr: 0x iir: 0x0070 Ring at virtual 0xa7841000 head 0x1a95c tail 0x1c0 count 5657 ...
