Many thanks for the xorg.conf workaround - does the job quite nicely for
RAT 7 and 10.10 Server.

I think it was the 2.6.35-23 update that resolved it (whether
intentionally or otherwise) - try that one.

Also, I'd move that this bug be marked fairly important/high priority,
as if you have your OS drive connected to the affected ports, the system
hardcrashes, an absolute failure for systems that need stable/consistent
uptime.

[Bug 550559] Re: hdd problems, failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED

2011-01-13 Thread Adam Ziegler
I can confirm the same on Maverick x64 Server, kernel 2.6.35-24-server,
all latest software updates.  ASUS P6X58D Premium, latest BIOS.

I am seeing ata soft resets, hard resets, and then crashes on both
devices connected to my Marvell 9123 ports (SATA-6Gbps), a SATA-3Gbps
Corsair F120 SSD (w/latest firmware, as the OS/boot drive) and a
SATA-1.5Gbps LG Blu-ray reader.  Preceded by "READ FPDMA QUEUED" command
errors in dmesg.  All other SATA devices connected to the SATA-3Gbps
controller are fine.

The system is hardlocked, except...I can still login via SSH from a
networked machine, and I can browse the machine through SFTP.  Trying to
run basic system commands (like ls -l, fdisk, sudo, and the like)
results in "Bus error" or "Input/output error".  "shutdown" is
impossible, so i have to hard-reset the machine.  This happens randomly,
without any apparent cause, and no data loss or corruption (though it
scares me a little to hard-reset at all).

I recall this happening with prior kernels, as well.  I will try
switching the drive to a SATA-3Gbps port and see what happens.  I don't
care so much about losing access to the Blu-ray drive periodically, but
I'd rather not lose the OS drive.

2010-12-14 Thread Adam Ziegler
For what it's worth, the issue has cleared itself up (again) for me, and
the only relevant change I can think of is using the 2.6.35-23 kernel (a
relatively recent update over 2.6.35-22).

I'll throw in that it is still happening for me.  Before, I was probably 
"lucky" enough to hit the gaps, both in observation and usage.  Same symptoms, 
with or without VMs running, all CFQ scheduling.  Not sure if HDD layout/config 
affects this, but maybe it'll help isolate the problem:
1x Corsair F120 120 GB SSD, primary OS drive
4x Seagate "green" 5900 RPM 2 TB HDD, in 2x 2-disk RAID-1 configuration (mdadm)

[Bug 665796] Re: Timer interrupt freezes, system becomes sluggish

2010-11-05 Thread Adam Ziegler
Unusually enough, the issue seems to have resolved itself on my end.  I
haven't experienced any hangups for the past few days; checking on the
system periodically, CPU load averages are reasonable for the activity
(< 0.50, vs. > 4.0 from before).

The only relevant changes I've made since is disabling KDE's
nepomuk/Strigi indexing entirely, and installing the almost daily
updates of ALSA kernel modules from the ubuntu-audio-dev PPA, not to
mention keeping up-to-date from all official repos.  This leads me to
believe that the source is either the audio or file I/O subsystems.

Any progress for the others affected?

[Bug 665796] Re: Timer interrupt freezes, system becomes sluggish

2010-10-29 Thread Adam Ziegler
Redirected here from ServerFault and bug 658649 (thanks JRavasi).

Same CPU/video card, although for me the timing is closer to 1-2 minutes
of lockup.  Unlike the original report, though, this seems to happen
without _any_ apparent cause - even if the system is completely idle,
there will be occasional bouts.  Swapping to full terminal via
Ctrl+Alt+Fx will take some 10-15 seconds, but once in terminal,
responsiveness is okay.  top/htop updates at this point mimic stuttering
seen in the GUI.

Again, started happening after a fresh install of 10.10.  Various other
issues raised in relation include nVidia drivers and desktop effects,
neither of which have solved it.

[Bug 658649] Re: Xorg freeze without reason in Ubuntu 10.10

2010-10-29 Thread Adam Ziegler
There is no disk activity, and physical RAM usage tops out around 1.5
GiB (I have 6 GiB total).  Most of it is buffered/cached, with ~300 MiB
explicitly labeled "free", and I'm fairly certain that's appropriate for
"well designed systems" (quoted from somewhere that seemed legit).  Swap
has zero usage.

To the end of the linked bug report, would file indexing really cause
such a problem?  I remember I generally disabled it in the past, but
haven't done so this time.  Generally, top shows the file I/O processes
right below the active processes, but with no active CPU listed.

Should also mention that this started occurring after installing 10.10.
Never happened with 10.04, same hardware and latest software loadout

2010-10-29 Thread Adam Ziegler
Core-i7 930
GTX 465
clean 10.10 install

I am experiencing similar issues with the latest server kernel, KDE
installed over the top, Xorg 1.9.0 from stock repositories.  The desktop
will lag severely for a few minutes, even switching NumLock/CapsLock
takes awhile to register.  Have found issues describing similar problems
mentioning problems with nVidia drivers, but that is not the case here.
Nothing relevant in system or app logs.

On occasion, switching to terminal via Ctrl+Alt+Fx will lag for some
10-15 seconds, then operation through there is as quick as ever.
top/htop reports heavy system CPU usage, but almost no processes report
using the CPU.  Sometimes (but not consistently) when the issue clears
up, dialog appears stating desktop effects have been disabled due to
unresponsiveness.  Will attempt to disable desktop effects and see if
that helps.

[Bug 612093] Re: padsp introduces about 2 seconds of delay

2010-10-23 Thread Adam Ziegler
When I recompiled OSS support into the kernel, it still didn't work, as
before.

However, for UT in particular, if you change the audio device in
UnrealTournament.ini to Audio.GenericAudioSubsystem, then use padsp to
run it, you should get sound again.  The quality suffers only very
silghtly, and seems to ignore the music volume entirely, but otherwise
it is playable again.

You'll likely find the .ini in ~.loki/ somewhere, and the config entry
is under [Engine.Engine].

[Bug 612093] Re: padsp introduces about 2 seconds of delay

2010-10-12 Thread Adam Ziegler
Confirmed on:
Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick x64 Server 
Kernel 2.6.35-22
KDE 4.4.5.1
Pulseaudio 0.9.22 from ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
ALSA 1.0.23
Phonon w/gstreamer backend (and the same with Xine backend)

Averages ~2 seconds audio delay, and causes a slight performance hit on
some applications (in particular, Unreal Tournament GOTY, the only
reason I need padsp).

2010-10-12 Thread Adam Ziegler
Can confirm that PulseAudio with ALSA works fine.

This workaround straightened out my audio, when using straight ALSA (no 
PulseAudio):
- install the gstreamer bakcend for Phonon (phonon-backend-gstreamer)
- change Phonon backend to use gstreamer in System Settings

I can confirm same results -

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.
