Bug#618665: Online-Source for linux-image-2.6.32-30?
Since this bug seems to affect a lot of people (looking at the number of other bug reports on the same issue), it would be nice to make the old kernel version linux-image-2.6.32-30 available online again. One or two days after *.31 went 'stable' one could still acquire the old kernel from packages.debian.org by selecting the new kernel and manually changing the download URL, but it looks like the old version has now been removed from the mirrors (at least each mirror I tried). Maybe someone could make the old kernel version available somewhere (if indeed no such page exists anymore) and post a link to where one can still find the old version on this bug report?

Bug#618665: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: mouse pointer not visible and crashes when playing video files

I just took a look what my i915.modeset.conf, and it contains exactly the line 'options i915 modeset=1', and 'cat /sys/module/i915/parameters/modeset' yields 1 (kernel 2.6.32-31). I changed this to 'options i915 modeset=0' and rebooted. During boot, I noticed that the resolution (the font-size of the boot messages) is much lower, and directly before showing the login screen there is a brief, slightly distorted flash of the BIOS' spash-screen -- BTW, the same as if I live-boot Linux Mint 9. After boot, the mouse pointer was visible (still on kernel version 2.6.32-31) and I could play videos, but the playback was unusably slow. I also tried live-booting Ubuntu 10.04 once more. - if I boot with no parameters, the boot hangs instantly - if I boot with 'nolapic', it boots to a black screen - if I boot with 'nolapic' and 'i915.modeset=1', it boots to the desktop and even has composition enabled (and thus 3D acceleration), but crashes after a few seconds, falling back to reduced graphic settings As a reminder, I can boot Debian with 'nolapic' and with /sys/module/i915/parameters/modeset yielding '1', and everything runs fine (with kernel 2.6.32-30), but no 3D acceleration. I do not expect to get my 3D acceleration fixed here, but maybe this information is of some relevance for fixing the bug.

Bug#618665: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: mouse pointer not visible and crashes when playing video files
This should only affect custom kernel packages. However, if you have more than 1 GB RAM in this system, please test with the extra kernel parameter 'mem=1G'. My system has only 768 MB RAM. Did you ever experience that bug (failure to suspend) in Linux 2.6.32? No, suspend works fine, and always did, both with 2.6.32-30 and 2.6.32-31. Does the current bug disappear if you disable Kernel Mode Setting (rename the file /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf to i915-kms.conf.disabled and reboot)? I updated to 2.6.32-31 again and did as you said, but without success. Right after boot-up, the mouse pointer was invisible (until doing the suspend-trick), and the systems hangs when trying to play any kind of video. I also used this chance to go through the BugReport-Process again to generate usable Package-specific info for my system. However, apart from the actual kernel log everything was the same, especially there was no difference in the loaded modules or the likes (only slightly different sizes on some modules, as would be expected). So I just attached the kernel log, starting from boot up. Hope this helps. What do you mean when you say 'no 3D acceleration'? The i855 GPU certainly has some 3D functionality. Is it disabled in some way, or are you just not using it? Actually, I do not know whether I have _no_ 3D acceleration or whether the 3D acceleration is just horribly bad. Before switching to Debian 6 merely two weeks ago, I was running Ubuntu 8.04 (which is now no longer supported), with which I could use composition desktop effects and play Quake 3 fluently. Now I can not even activate composition effects (not much of a loss...), and Quake 1 'runs' at approximately one frame every other second (Fitzquake engine). (Still better than newer versions of Ubuntu, which wouldn't even boot on my machine any more.) So, as far as I can tell, 3D acceleration is disabled by default, and I haven't looked into how to activate it yet (and do not have much hope in succeeding to do so, after everything I've read so far). Please let me know if I can try anything else with kernel version 2.6.32-31; otherwise I'd like to switch back to 2.6.32-30, soon. ;-) Regards, Tobias kernel-log_2.6.32-31_full.txt.tar.gz Description: application/compressed-tar
Bug#618665: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: mouse pointer not visible and crashes when playing video files
Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-30 Severity: important Tags: upstream After updating the packages 'linux-base' and 'linux-image-2.6.32-5-686' from version 2.6.32-30 (stable) to 2.6.32-31 (squeeze-proposed-updates) and restarting the system, my mouse pointer was not shown any more. The mouse and other pointing devices were still usable (move, click, rightclick, context menus, hover-effects on icons and menus), only the pointer was not visible. Switching to another mouse pointer theme did not solve the problem, either. (Occasionally, the mouse pointer /was/ visible directly after boot up, but this was rare (3 out of approx. 20 boot processes) and seemed completely at random. Nothing different when booting in 'recovery mode'.) The mouse pointer could, however, be reproducably restored by going to 'standby' for just a moment (pressing the Fn+'Sleep'-keys on the keyboard). After going to standy, the mouse pointer stays visible until the next reboot of the system, even logging out or when killing the xserver with Ctrl-Alt-Back. Later we found out that video playback is affected, too. Whenever playing a video file (tested ogg, mp4 and flv on Gnome Video Player and MPlayer), the desktop would freeze. The mouse could still be moved, there was HDD activity and MPlayer even plays sound (but no video), but otherwise the desktop is frozen: Nothing can be clicked, no progress in the system monitor panel applet, etc. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Back would not work, either (either no effect at all, or sending one just to a black screen). The computer has to shut down hard and restarted. (This was definitely _not_ a codex problem, as it affected video files I know for certain I already played some days before the Kernel update. Also, the Gnome Thumbnailer can create thumbnails for the video files in question.) After downgrading 'linux-base' and 'linux-image-2.6.32-5-686' back from version 2.6.32-31 (squeeze-proposed-updates) to 2.6.32-30 (stable) and restarting the system, the mouse pointer was visible again right from the beginning (i.e. the login screen) and video playback worked again, as well. I am running Debian Squeeze Stable on a Asus M2400N Laptop (from mid 2003) with Intel 855 graphics. I have to boot with the 'nolapic' option and have no 3D acceleration, but otherwise my system is running fine again, after downgrading the kernel.

Bug#618665: Kernel-Version for Bug 618665
Please note that the initial BugReport was issued _after_ downgrading the Kernel from the problematic version 2.6.32-31 (squeeze-proposed-updates) back to version 2.6.32-30 (squeeze-stable), with which the problem does _not_ occur. Thus, for the 'Package-specific info', please refer to the version posted with Message #20, which was created with the correct Kernel version 2.6.32-31. Sorry for the confusion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
