[Bug 207135] Re: pulseaudio uses too much CPU

2017-09-30 Thread Chris Osgood
My system was doing the same thing. It went from working properly one
minute then broken for no reason. Very high CPU usage for pulseaudio,
polkitd, dbus-daemon. PulseAudio sound was stuttering. Trying to edit
the sound settings in the volume control was impossible because it kept
losing the connection to PulseAudio. Syslog was full of thousands of
this message repeated:

[pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Failed to set switch of IEC958: Operation not
permitted

I've had issues on this system where the sound output would randomly
switch from analog out to some other method or even another device like
HDMI which I don't use. I believe due to the plug auto-detection on the
audio connector.

So I unplugged, replugged, and jiggled the audio connector on the back
of the computer and that fixed everything. I guess the plug was loose or
the motherboard is buggy and doesn't properly detect when an analog plug
is in the audio connector. This was causing pulseaudio to go haywire and
hammer the system (not a surprise considering the history of that
software).

[Bug 1569925] Re: Shutdown hang on 16.04 with iscsi targets

2016-11-21 Thread Chris Osgood
Seeing a similar issue here with so called "diskless" clients. That is,
all of their filesystems are network mounts including the root
filesystem. These systems use iscsi targets for the root filesystem and
during shutdown the network is turned off before the file I/O operations
are completed which causes the system to hang with filesystem IO errors.

I'm currently looking to see if there is some way to make systemd keep
the network up no matter what, all the way until the machine physically
reboots or shuts down (ie. disable the network shutdown completely).

This worked in 14.04 and got broken in 16.04 apparently due to the
switch to systemd as far as I can tell (great tool, isn't it?).

[Bug 1511855] [NEW] Some Sony Dualshock 4 controllers do not work in kernel 3.15+

2015-10-30 Thread Chris Osgood
Public bug reported:

I'm testing in Ubuntu 15.10 with kernel 4.2.0-16.19 but this bug report
actually applies to ALL kernels starting at 3.15 until the current
4.3rc7 and is not limited to Ubuntu.

I have a brand new Sony DualShock 4 that seems to use a slightly
different protocol than the hid-sony driver expects. I'm not sure why
this controller is different. Maybe updated firmware from Sony or maybe
because it has never been connected to a PS4. Whatever the case, the
device descriptor size is different from what hid-sony expects and
because of that it does not remap the descriptor table as required. This
causes only the trackpad to function (the trackpad uses a different code
path) and none of the other controls work. So basically the controller
does not work at all.

I have created a patch that fixes it. I have only tested the patch
against kernel 4.2 and 4.3 but it's simple enough that it should be
trivially portable to any 3.15+ kernel. The attached patch is based
against the Ubuntu mainline-crack git v4.2 kernel.

I posted to the LKML asking if the descriptor size check was even
necessary but never got a response so I left it in.

[Bug 1511402] Re: Xubuntu not suspending on lid close

2015-10-29 Thread Chris Osgood
I forgot to mention that I do have one 15.10 Xubuntu install on a Dell
M731 laptop and the power management on that works fine, including sleep
when closing the lid.

I'm thinking that there is some package/setting that gets installed that
breaks it which is why I mentioned the GNOME power manager being
installed on my desktop installs.

[Bug 1511402] Re: Xubuntu not suspending on lid close

2015-10-29 Thread Chris Osgood
I can't say I have the exact same problem because I'm on a desktop
machine but I have noticed that the power management in general seems to
be broken. For example, in XFCE power manager I have the screen to blank
at 15 minutes, sleep at 25, and off at 35. Even after many hours it
never even blanks the screen.

Fresh clean Xubuntu 15.10 install here. Tried on 3 different desktop
machines with various hardware (some UEFI, some old BIOS, some nVidia,
some AMD) and the power management doesn't work on any of them.

I also notice that for some reason the GNOME power manager is installed.
Maybe it was pulled in by some other package? (not sure which but I do
not have the gnome or ubuntu desktop installed, only xubuntu). It does
not appear to be running though.

I have these processes running related to "power":
/usr/lib/upower/upowerd

I briefly looked at the source for this and I think the issue is the use
of XNVCTRLQueryTargetAttribute which seems to be broken.

The nvidia-settings application uses NvCtrlGetAttribute directly (ie. it
doesn't use the X event mechanism) and it works fine.  Not sure what the
problem is with XNVCTRLQueryTargetAttribute.

That process can not be killed either, not even with -9.

At least in my case I'm pretty sure this has to do with the automatic

2011-04-02 Thread Chris Osgood
Been seeing the same problem in Maverick lately.  I believe it may have
something to do with automatic upgrades.  Do the other people
experiencing this issue have automatic updates turned on?

When manually running apt-get update/upgrade I have seen it hang
indefinitely before possibly due to network issues and this may be what
is happening when the system does the automatic updates.  Maybe apt
needs better network error handling or something (just a guess without
actually looking into this problem very closely).

2009-02-25 Thread Chris Osgood
I have been running for over a month now on the older Hardy kernel
(2.6.24-23-generic x86_64) and have not seen this issue at all.  So it
appears it's almost definitely something broken in the newer kernels.
At this point it's unclear if it is an Ubuntu or Linux kernel problem.

With that said, I found this:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=e8c82c2e23e3527e0c9dc195e432c16784d270fa

Has anyone tried this simple patch against the Ubuntu kernel?

2009-01-12 Thread Chris Osgood
I built the current Jaunty kernel (2.6.28-4-generic) and tried that but
it has the same problem.

It seems the error happens much more often when using XFS but I'm not
sure if it's related to XFS or not.  I have found that doing very long
running large SqLite operations is the best way to recreate the error
(disk I/O is very high).  Sometimes it can take hours of hammering the
disks before the error appears (race condition I'm guessing).

Often it hard-locks the OS and the RAID arrays have to be resynced
(which takes several hours) after reset/reboot.

[Bug 312163] Re: RAID array causing "BUG: soft lockup" errors/system freeze

2009-01-02 Thread Chris Osgood
After more testing I have modified the original description because
originally I was thinking it just affected XFS but now I don't think
that is the case.  I just got another crash when using Ext3 so now I'm
not sure where the problem might be.  It still looks like it probably
has something to do with the filesystem layers though.

In this latest case all I did was start a 'grep' on a file and the CPU
went to 100% and the process froze completely (could not be killed even
with kill -KILL).  A few seconds later I started getting the "BUG: soft
lockup" errors.

I have attached the latest error.

** Summary changed:

- XFS on RAID array causing "BUG: soft lockup" errors/system freeze
+ RAID array causing "BUG: soft lockup" errors/system freeze

** Description changed:

  Running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Desktop 64-bit with all current updates.
  Kernel is 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 
GNU/Linux.
  System is Abit IP35-Pro motherboard, Q9550 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 4 Western Digital 
WD6401AALS-00L3B2 drives (640 GB, SATA).
- MemTest and drive tests returns no errors.  Using a RAID5 array across the 4 
drives with XFS as the file system.
+ MemTest and drive tests returns no errors.  Using a RAID5 array across the 4 
drives with XFS and Ext3 as the file systems.
  
  It seems when the system gets under heavy I/O load on the RAID array it
  will eventually freeze (requiring a hard reboot).  The errors are
  inconsistent in how long they take to show up and the specific
  applications causing the I/O load don't seem to matter but the error
  always shows up eventually.  It has already happened dozens of times
  after I start a load on the machine.
  
  Examples of scenarios where the bug has appeared:
  * Running Bonnie++ benchmarks.   I have seen this kill the system within 30 
seconds.  Other times it causes no problems.
  
  * Running a large SQlite import while simultaneously tar/gzip'ing a
  large directory structure.
  
  * Running a large MySql import while tar/gzip'ing a large directory
  structure.
  
  * Multiple tar/gzip processes running at the same time.
  
  The specific process that gets the "CPU: soft lockup" error varies.   I
  have seen it lockup in kswapd, pdflush, gzip, sqlite3, bonnie++ (see
  attached logs).
  
- The error appears to be related to XFS because all the stack traces have
- XFS calls in them.  I have attached some of my stack traces.   They

[Bug 312163] Re: XFS on RAID array causing "BUG: soft lockup" errors/system freeze

2008-12-29 Thread Chris Osgood
I  meant to note that the RAID5 array is a software RAID array created with:
mdadm --create /dev/md1 --chunk=256 --level=5 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sdb2 
/dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2 /dev/sde2

This same system was running XFS on a single drive without problems so
it may be some sort of RAID/XFS interaction or bandwidth issue as the
performance is much higher than previously.

[Bug 312163] [NEW] XFS on RAID array causing "BUG: soft lockup" errors/system freeze

2008-12-29 Thread Chris Osgood
Public bug reported:

Running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Desktop 64-bit with all current updates.
Kernel is 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
System is Abit IP35-Pro motherboard, Q9550 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 4 Western Digital 
WD6401AALS-00L3B2 drives (640 GB, SATA).
MemTest and drive tests returns no errors.  Using a RAID5 array across the 4 
drives with XFS as the file system.

It seems when the system gets under heavy I/O load on the RAID array it
will eventually freeze (requiring a hard reboot).  The errors are
inconsistent in how long they take to show up and the specific
applications causing the I/O load don't seem to matter but the error
always shows up eventually.  It has already happened dozens of times
after I start a load on the machine.

Examples of scenarios where the bug has appeared:
* Running Bonnie++ benchmarks.   I have seen this kill the system within 30 
seconds.  Other times it causes no problems.

* Running a large SQlite import while simultaneously tar/gzip'ing a
large directory structure.

* Running a large MySql import while tar/gzip'ing a large directory
structure.

* Multiple tar/gzip processes running at the same time.

The specific process that gets the "CPU: soft lockup" error varies.   I
have seen it lockup in kswapd, pdflush, gzip, sqlite3, bonnie++ (see
attached logs).

The error appears to be related to XFS because all the stack traces have
XFS calls in them.  I have attached some of my stack traces.   They
repeat many times and I have only included the first distinct events
before my system crashed.
