[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1509326] Re: Various instabilities after resuming from standby

2015-12-30 Thread Joachim Durchholz
Okay... I'm seeing some glitches with Nouveau, but not all.
1) Spontaneous wake-ups, not going to sleep when told to, and similar are gone.
2) There is still improper detection of monitor configuration changes between 
suspend and resume. Dlosing and reopening the lid fixed that in one instance, 
don't know whether that is a general rule.

Now that monitor detection is clearly identified as an unrelated problem, I 
agree it should go to a separate problem report.
How do I proceed about the spontaneous wake-ups?

2015-12-25 Thread Joachim Durchholz
I can't file reports for different issues because I can't even name a
single issue. All I'm seeing is sporadic but nonreproducible, somehow
related failures. Some of them may be unrelated, some of them might be
misconfiguration leftovers from previous installs or attempts at getting
the machine to work reliably, but I have no way of determining which is
which.

Trying nouveau now. It used to deliver insufficient performance to drive
both of my monitors though; maybe it got upgraded, but I'm not
confident.

2015-12-25 Thread Joachim Durchholz
Can you give me some instructions how to nail down the actual cause of these 
problems?
The symptoms are so varied and instrutable, it almost looks as if some race 
conditions deep down in the software stack leave stuff in inconsistent state.
Logging pertinent status information for each startup might be a good start.

The system is showing the login screen even though everything has been 
configured to not show the login screen. Finding out the reason why would be a 
good start, then I'd look for the reasons for the reason, until the root cause 
is found.
(This might even be a hardware glitch, but without any pointers to a concrete 
failure I can't turn in the machine for fixing. Also, if it's a hardware 
problem, it would be worth it submitting a bug report to whatever software 
subsystem should have logged it.)

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1509326] Re: Various instabilities after resuming from standby

2015-12-24 Thread Joachim Durchholz
Issues are persistent in Wily BTW. Can't say if they are exactly the same since 
the behaviour is so unstable.
Some of the old behaviour seems gone, but I'm getting new weirdnesses, such as 
lightdm spontaneously restarting after unsuspending.

That particular incident:
Unsuspend started the machine, final X log message after loading was
[ 32016.399] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "de"
I switched to console 1, started investigating pstree|less. After a while, the 
graphic screen came up with the login screen (which I had configured to never 
show up, but ah well).
X log has this to say:
[ 32024.769] (II) evdev: Dell WMI hotkeys: Close
Not sure whether that means "lid closed" or the power button, but I was typing 
on the USB keyboard, which has neither.

Not sure what to do next, any advice welcome.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1509326] Re: Various instabilities after resuming from standby

2015-10-24 Thread Joachim Durchholz
11) Did a reboot because graphics performance had dropped. Reboot through XFCE 
desktop would make the screen go black, pstree showed that the desktop still 
lived. reboot command from console would work, but boot into a black screen 
(after a brief display of a background and something that might have been the 
mouse pointer). Closing and opening the lid would not help, detaching the 
laptop from the docking station and Ctrl-Alt-F7 would restore the XFCE desktop, 
reattaching to the docking station would give access to the 
docking-station-connected screens.
So... something wasn't properly initialized with the docking station attached 
during boot.

For reference, I have placed the following script on a hotkey to switch
from laptop to docking-station-connected screens.

#! /bin/sh
echo == >>/home/jo/xrandr.log
echo docked.sh >>/home/jo/xrandr.log
date >>/home/jo/xrandr.log
echo >>/home/jo/xrandr.log
xrandr --output DP-6 --auto >>/home/jo/xrandr.log 2>&1
xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off >>/home/jo/xrandr.log 2>&1
xrandr --output DP-3 --auto --left-of DP-6 --primary >>/home/jo/xrandr.log 2>&1

It's extremely rigid and unable to deal with any variation in the
hardware situation, and sometimes is fails to disable LVDS-0 and cannot
activate DP-3 afterwards (I think because there are only two CRTCs), but
if all hardware is properly detected, it will work reliably on the
second attempt... barely good enough so I don't have to redo Display
configuration every time it fails to auto-reconfigure when attaching to
or detaching from the docking station.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1509326] [NEW] Various instabilities around hibernate, standby, and display control

2015-10-23 Thread Joachim Durchholz
Public bug reported:

None of these problems are readily reproducible, I'm having a roughly
30:70 chance of a successful standby or shutdown cycle.

Things that I have seen happen:

1) Click on Whisker menu -> Logoff ("Abmelden") button ->
Logoff/Restart/Reboot/Standby dialog (no Hibernate option, I think it's
blacklisted for my machine) -> Click on "Shutdown" -> no shutdown, I get
the login screen.

2) Trying to go to standby from the Logoff button in the login screen
after seeing (1) -> monitor switches off, then on, login screen again.

3) After (2), close the lid, open it, standby procedure from login
screen -> works. Sometimes.

4) After (2), remove machine from docking station, standby procedure
from login screen -> works. Sometimes.

5) Machine is in standby, I press the power button, I get some text mode
messages, monitor flashes and shows graphic content (mostly a mouse
cursor on some background, too fast to properly see), then the screen
goes dark. Ctrl-Alt-F1 works, Ctrl-Alt-F7 simply makes the screen dark
again (both the builtin laptop screen and one of the external,
connected-through-docking-station screens).

6) The effects from (5) can also happen right after cold booting the
machine.

7) I *think* on a few occasions, I tried to shutdown the machine and
nothing happened at all.

8) On some rarer occasions, nothing would happen after the shutdown
command, and trying to issue another shutdown resulted in a message
amounting to "can't do another action while the previous action is in
progress"; I remember pstree reported some hung process that was
connected to shutdown, and I couldn't kill it (not even kill -9). I
cannot reproduce this, and I didn't take notes so I can't be more
specific.

I have no idea which of these effects are related to a common cause and which 
are independent.
I have been unable to find out anything given that no individual phenomenon is 
reproducible with any reliability.
I hope the attached debug info will help, but I fully expect this to require 
much more diagnosis.

Hardware:
- Dell Precision M4600
- did a BIOS update a while ago (that changed the problems, slightly for the 
better I think)
- Docking station PR02X
- Two 2560x1440 Dell U2515H monitors, one on each video output of the docking 
station
- nVidia Quadro 2000M, using the proprietary driver (Nouveau cannot drive two 
2560x1440 screens)

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1509326] Re: Various instabilities after resuming from standby

2015-10-23 Thread Joachim Durchholz
It's my main and only work machine, I can upgrade if and only if I can easily 
revert any upgrade.
I don't expect to be able to revert from Wily to Vivid, so that's not an option 
unless I can have guarantees.
A driver update would be fine, I can always go back to Nouveau, then reinstall 
the current Nvidia driver.

Given #1488206 and #1507328, and that I've been having these problems
for years now, I do not expect the driver update to fix anything, but I
can still check and see what's happening. (My bets are on a race
condition somewhere in the wakeup software stack since the symptoms are
so irreproducible, but I don't know how to validate that.)

More symptoms:

9) Sometimes (rarely), X stops recognizing the screen. I get a "default"
screen @1024x768 instead of the VGA-0, LVDS-0, and DP0...DP-6
connections in xrandr --verbose. It does not help to reboot, not even
when disconnecting from all power including battery. What does help is
installing Nouveau, then reinstalling nvidia-current.

10) Sometimes (slightly more often than symptom nr. 9), I get the same as nr. 
8, shutdown does not complete. I cannot get a console through Ctrl-Alt-F1, but 
I can Ctrl-Alt-F7 and get a graphic screen with a greyed-out desktop and an 
empty dialog window (there's a white title bar and a grey dialog area, but no 
title, no icons, no text, no buttons, no border, entirely unresponsive).
What I could do was to Ctrl-Alt-Del to get to the lock screen. From there, I 
could resume my normal session (just to restore the same 
greyed-out-with-unresponsible-dialog behaviour). I could also start a guest 
session, but I didn't try anything there because I believe guest isn't in the 
sudoers list.
Logging in with explicit user name gave me a black screen and unresponsiveness 
to Ctrl-Alt-F1 and Ctrl-Alt-F7, so I power cycled the machine and called it a 
day.
