[Bug 477134] Re: X server hard crash when kubuntu System Settings Display app is started
** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg On a Thinkpad X61t the X server in Karmic reliably crashes when the Kubuntu Display system setting app is started -- its display never appears. This is true for the live desktop (booted from USB flash drive) in both x32 and x64 versions as well as an upgrade from from Jaunty. After the crash it is not possible to regain access to the machine through the laptop keyboard and the X server process cannot be killed -- it is in disk-wait state. lspci identifies the graphics controller as: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) Xorg.0.log identifies the graphics controller as: PCI:*(0:0:2:0) 8086:2a02:17aa:20b5 Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller rev 12, Mem @ 0xf810/1048576, 0xe000/268435456, I/O @ 0x1800/8 The automatically attached files describe the running system before the crash. I will append additional information from syslog, strace, etc. after making the crash occur again. This may be an instance of multiple bugs -- the display settings app in Ubuntu (gnome) works fine. So it seems there may be both a misuse of the X server by the kubuntu app and a bug in the X server that causes it to crash in a particularly nasty fashion when so abused.

[Bug 477134] Re: X server hard crash when kubuntu System Settings Display app is started
Following Martin's suggestion from Bug #490274 I added nomodeset to the kernel command line and all was well with kernels 2.6.31-14 and 2.6.31-15. When I picked up the update to 2.6.31-16 today things broke *worse*. It is still the case that booting without nomodeset and invoking the KDE display setting app causes the same X crash and a completely unusable machine. However, with the 2.6.31-16 kernel *and* nomodeset, the display settings app now (usually but not always) produces a corrupt screen that is black for the top 1/3 and mouse clicks either are not reported as occurring in the correct location or are completely ignored -- I can't tell which. So this new kernel is represents regression rather than progress for i965gm users. I'm tempted to open a new bug -- this one (4771334) is really about behavior when KMS is active. With the -16 kernel there seems to be a problem even when KMS is not being used.

I can confirm same results - Toshiba Qosmio E10 / 2KCDTW Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics What's really strange is that the display restarts, but with only a few- pixel-high band of color across the top of the screen. In order to get it back to working, I have to 'sudo killall kdm' from terminal, and it returns me to a graphical login. -- X server hard crash when kubuntu System Settings Display app is started https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477134 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
