Unfortunately there is no improvement.

Only the console output is displayed on the external monitor.

Actually I stopped using the laptop, during a quick test there was no
flickering, but it appeared usually after some time.

The monitor is OK because Windows uses it with no problem at the native
resolution.

Please note the problem seems specific to a particular model of laptop,
during a quick test with a desktop the problem doesn't occur even with
the default kernel.

Best regards

Bug#970574: xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu: ABI changed (24.0 to 24.1) but not the dependencies

2021-06-19 Thread GSR
Hi,
deb...@iremonger.me.uk (2021-06-19 at 1704.32 +0100):
> In short, I think this bug report should now be closed unless there
> is an apparent issue specifically in buster or bullseye now [??] ?

Currently I have xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu 19.1.0-2 with
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.20.11-1 and it keeps working (updating Sid every
now and then). The issue existed for a brief time, but probably does
not matter in releases if they have debs in sync. Even if they do not
explicitly request a given version, the avaliable versions implicitly
avoid the problem (sorry, no machines to test them, but by numbers,
Buster has an older video-amdgpu package, 18.1.99+git20190207-1, and
Bullseye is like Sid now). Thus I agree it can be closed.

For the record, in the rare case someone hits the issue, old log also
had:
---8<---
[   144.270] (II) Module ABI versions:
[   144.270]X.Org ANSI C Emulation: 0.4
[   144.270]X.Org Video Driver: 24.0
[   144.270]X.Org XInput driver : 24.1
[   144.270]X.Org Server Extension : 10.0
--->8---
Notice the 24.0.

Last ones have lines like:
---8<---
[24.338] (II) Module ABI versions:
[24.338]X.Org ANSI C Emulation: 0.4
[24.339]X.Org Video Driver: 24.1
[24.339]X.Org XInput driver : 24.1
[24.339]X.Org Server Extension : 10.0
...

[24.380]Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[24.380]ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 24.1
--->8---
Notice the two 24.1 for video drivers. xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu's
"Depends" line still lists xorg-video-abi-24, without .1.

Cheers,
GSR
 



Bug#892982: system freeze after lock screen/switched off monitors/spontaneously

2021-06-19 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
I can confirm the buster-backports now offers kernel
5.10.0-0.bpo.7-amd64  ..

Please test this following notes on previous bug pointer.
Can the bug now be closed, if that works, or doesn't  -- I don't
think there is an X.org bug here.

Yes, so let's reassign it there. llvm maintainers, please cherry pick
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/c5a1eb9b0a76 if possible.

Package: xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
Version: 1.4.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I am using KDE/sddm on a shard laptop with each user working in a different X
session. I start new sessions via the "Switch User" menu option, which launches
a new X session on a different virtual terminal. Since the last couple of
upgrades to debain/unstable (sorry can't tell you exactly how many but over
several months now) I have found that instead of starting a new X session, all
that happens is that my current X session crashes.

The most pertinent information I can find in the log files looks like this:

[   160.555] (EE) /dev/dri/card1: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4:
Permission denied
[   160.556] (EE) /dev/dri/card0: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4:
Permission denied

Sorry if this is the wrong place to be reporting this bug, but I can't turn up
any other reports that seems to match it so want to start the ball rolling.

Many thanks,

Hi.

Today I reinstalled a machine on Debian 11 Bullseye from testing (it was on 
Debian 10 Buster) and I had a crash of the AMD R9 380.
I could no longer change tty and Xorg was frozen, I could only move the mouse, 
the keyboard shortcut to reboot the kernel was not working.
After manual shutdown (electrical) I found undred lines of this in syslog:

But the problem has never occurred on Debian 10 Buster.

Please confirm if this solves the issue for you, and close the bug.

Package: xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
Version: 18.0.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The lock ups for the AMD RX 550 graphics card I have been experiencing
occur on time scales of a few hours after a boot to up to a maximum of
two days after a reboot.  The frequency of those backups is the reason
I rated the severity of this issue as "important", but, of course,
feel free to classify the severity any other way you like.

Those lock ups have now become so frequent (3 of them yesterday) that
I am now testing my new computer by using it normally but remotely
using the display of another computer.  In this mode the only use of
the RX 550 is to display the login prompt to a Linux console.  And
that non-X use is so light, I am hoping the system stays up a long
time without lock ups to confirm what I have found so far that the
actual lock ups only occur when X is running directly on this
computer.

These lock ups when X is running on this computer all freeze the
X display but come in several different varieties:

* I can login from another computer via ssh and execute "shutdown -r now".
However, the display remains black on the subsequent POST phase unless
I hit the reset button.

* I cannot login from another computer with ssh, but networking is up
with this computer (i.e., ping works), and I had to hit the reset button.

* Not even ping works, and I had to hit the reset button.

On one occasion (I have forgotten which of the 3 varieties of lock ups
this was) when I hit the reset button the card still gave a black
screen during the POST phase so I was concerned it had been turned
into a brick.  However, as a last-ditch effort to get this display
working again, I tried depressing the power button for 3 seconds so
the computer powered off.  Then several minutes later I powered on,
and the card properly displayed the POST phase again after that.

Between lock-up events, the card does display with extremely high
quality, e.g., The Weather Network videos of the recent Hawaii
eruption.  Also, the non-graphical component of this new box seems to
be reliable.  For example, I recently copied 0.5TB of files from my
old computer to this new computer using rsync, and then checked every
one of those 4 trillion bits that had been transferred by a subsequent
invocation of rsync --checksum.  I am pretty sure this rsync
--checksum test means the Ryzen 7 1700 CPU's, its 64GB of memory, the
(external) source drive, and the (internal) destination drive are all
reliable.

I also ran "dpkg --verify" and "dpkg --audit" on xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
and firmware-amd-graphics (this firmware package is required for
the RX 550) to verify those packages had not somehow become corrupted.

I also noticed the following polaris-related (the RX 550 uses the POLARIS12
chipset) messages that are retrieved by dmesg

Bug#970574: xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu: ABI changed (24.0 to 24.1) but not the dependencies

2021-06-19 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
GSR,

Buster now has xserver-xorg-core version  2:1.20.4-1+deb10u3
[in-between the versions you quoted] and bullseye now has a newer
newer  2:1.20.11-1 version.

Given the date of your bug-report, it looks like you had the old
2018 version of the xorg-xserver package even though the
buster package tas been updated twice since then to 2019 and
2020 versions.

See Changelog:-

https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/x/xorg-server/xorg-server_1.20.4-1+deb10u3_changelog

In short, I think this bug report should now be closed unless there
is an apparent issue specifically in buster or bullseye now [??] ?

Dear Janusz

linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64 have now come out in version
5.10.0-0.bpo.7 in buster-backports.

Please confirm the issue is solved for you (or not) by using that
kernel as above, so the bug report can be prgressed or closed.
