[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1953507] Re: [radeon] jammy live - on adjusting display config; one display is unsuable blocky-mess

2022-02-22 Thread Chris Guiver
On rebooting into my installed system on same box
- dell [optiplex] 960 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 
5000/6000/7350/8350)

AND using 'Ubuntu on Xorg' (sorry i forget exact wording) on Ubuntu
jammy.

- I am NOT getting any video glitches using the GNOME desktop; if I had
I would have noticed before now

HOWEVER

- SCREENshots are showing issues to the left & right of what my scree
showed just as LIVE image showed, these are only visible using
PRINTSCREEN, and AFTER screen-position-change (even if change is very
slight)

What I see varies on each SCREENSHOT but on the attached picture I see
bits of the terminal window mostly; parts of my `gpicview` display of
first picture (will talk about this shortly!)  .. & other windows.

PLEASE NOTE the image shown in the `gpicview` window;  nothing glitchy
shows on that picture!! which was directly after login before I adjusted
screens;  the issues appear to be after moving alignment of screen 
on four subsequent PRINTSCREEN presses after slight changes of
screen.alignment GLITCHES were evident a per top-left & bottom-right of
the image itself.

I see nothing wrong on my displays, I'm talking about PRINTSCREEN images
saved to disk that are later viewed in my old gpicview.

Note: this installed system was installed in the artful cycle; is
release-upgraded every 6 months (though wasn't on artful long at all) so
is heavily modified.

This is my observation of this session only; I'd want to confirm what I
wrote here on subsequent logouts/logins before I relied on it..  (QA-
test installs & other stuff going on at same time currently)

  not doing the QA-testing).

  on adjusting the displays to match my setup (six displays; two high &
  three across; this box uses two in the middle with middle on top row &
  middle on bottom row)..  the top display is still useable, but the
  bottom is not.  This boxes are not perfectly aligned as not all my
  displays are the exact same size; so top display is slightly to right
  of bottom display

  the bottom resembles a digital TV with bad signal, mostly blocky &
  parts of it flashing (very quickly).  it doesn't match the attached
  picture (as viewable on this box anyway.. my top display; which was
  LEFT prior to alignment is perfectly readable).

  ** actual

  my top display is usable, bottom is not (blocky warped picture)

  ** expected

  on adjust displays to match my config; both displays remain usable &
  readable.

  ** notes

  likely related to graphics card & not GNOME.   If I recall correctly;
  this box has an older video card used as it had 2x DVI connections my
  screens use.

  My usual install on this box is jammy; but I usually use LXQt/Lubuntu
  and I don't experience issues.. I also have installed Xubuntu/Xfce &
  Ubuntu/GNOME so can test the installed OS (where I don't believe I
  have issue), but my install is somewhat old (artful install upgraded
  every six months ~30-36 hours after each release) thus is likely
  heavily modified.

  'install/firefox/thunderbird/files` is NOT visible; only a vertical
  WHITE bar a few pixels wide to left of the dock appears' rest of top
  display is perfect.

  My bottom display is nothing like picture; it's unusable.  A mixture
  of black/white boxes with red/purple bits which would be the picture
  warped into blocky-components.  When I type, I get reactions on this
  display with the picture changing (mostly the black & white portions
  which flash, the red/purple bits which are warped indri picture appear
  to remain static).

  not have run this QA-test now.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1953507] Re: [radeon] jammy live - on adjusting display config; one display is unsuable blocky-mess

2022-02-22 Thread Chris Guiver
I've booted today's daily (jammy canary ISO - ISO date 20220222) on my
- dell [optiplex] 960 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 
5000/6000/7350/8350)

On FIRST adjustment of displays (one [directly] above the other) no
visual issues were observed.

On SECOND adjustment of displays (top display slightly to the right of
the below display; this is how my displays actually are as not all
displays are identical size), visual glitches did occur - however they
don't match the description of my original post.

My bottom display today is PERFECT, the glitches appeared top display
along the left edge only.. but they've since returned to normal
(glitches stopped flashing after I took screenshot)

See screenshot - it'll explain how I've aligned displays PLUS shows
~blocky-mess where screens do not show  (left of my-top display & right
of my-bottom display..  this POSSIBLY is what I was seeing on original
post EXCEPT it was showing on screen but isn't today at least not now
(but was left edge of my upper screen at beginning of session after
second adjustment of display settings until I hit printscreen).

GNOME Settings About - tells me X11 is the "Windowing System" used in
this default run.

Either way; nothing would stop me from using this box today...   (I may
[if i remember] when I reboot into my normal jammy] use GNOME & have a
look at how it is there

I did NOT find a way at gdm3 to login using WAYLAND instead of default
X11/Xorg in the live session.

(I'm not going to report this bug on QA-test; it's not bad enough as
only an extremely mild version of what this report was like; my QA-
comments can be found at
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/429/builds/244757/testcases/1743/results)

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1953507] Re: [radeon] jammy live - on adjusting display config; one display is unsuable blocky-mess

2022-02-17 Thread Chris Guiver
I haven't re-tested on my primary box (d960)... yet.

I grabbed the latest *daily* of Ubuntu Desktop (2022.02.16) and
performed a live QA-test on

- dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd
5000/6000/7350/8350)

and was unable to re-create this issue.  Default session on a LIVE run
is X.Org as reported using GNOME.Settings.ABOUT which is what I believe
was default on d960 (and am yet to confirm).

Do note it's identical in specs except for box model; my details being
taken from `lshw`. HOWEVER it has different motherboard & external
ports, and its video card has HDMI+DVI ports out the back instead of
2xDVI on the 960 thus its not identical. It also has different
resolution monitors (two old dell 4:3)

I could NOT re-create the issue described in this bug report on this
box; including play trying to adjust screen positions in arrangements
somewhat akin to how monitors are set on 960 (much of the play using the
landscape+portrait orientation as that's how the 780 monitors are; which
is different to 2xlandscape on 960, but I did try and re-create using
2xlandscape [gritting my teeth]
