3.11.x and earlier versions from mainline give me no display -- just a black screen on boot. The system does work, and I posted a dmesg from that boot earlier (dmesg110.txt is the name of the file.) So there's definitely some sort of SAUCE patch or patches that make vesafb work with those kernels, or at least with this particular hardware. I tried a bunch of different fb drivers in the original post, but I did not try enabling matroxfb when re-building the kernel.

3.11.0-12 does not have the bug, while 3.12.0-1 with SYSFB=n does. It looks like 3.12 is when simplefb was implemented (as you noted in a previous post) and when vesafb was integrated. Based on Joseph Salisbury's comment #24 above noting that the older Ubuntu kernels had SAUCE patches to make vesafb work on platforms like this, is it safe to conclude that the version of vesafb in the Ubuntu- specific kernels 3.11.0-12 and earlier is not the same as the version in upstream? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1434581 Title: Console extremely slow with 3.13 and newer kernels for certified servers with Matrox G200er2 or similar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1434581/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yep, one machine, three kernels. I didn't have /etc/default/openipmi since I don't have the openipmi package installed. I tried installing it and flipping those off, also I tried blacklisting ipmi_si and ipmi_devintf. Unfortunately, there was no change. I can install and post logs for just about anything on this machine that's needed to help resolve the issue. I also tried the final 4.0 kernel, and it behaves the same as the earlier 4.0-rc5 kernel I tried, so I updated the tags. ** Tags removed: kernel-bug-exists-upstream-4.0-rc5 ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream-4.0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1434581 Title: Console extremely slow with 3.13 and newer kernels for certified servers with Matrox G200er2 or similar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1434581/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Understood. I agree that not completely breaking virtual machines in some hypervisors is important. While I'm required to use bare-metal installs on these systems, I depend on VMs as much as the next person. There has to be an alternate solution. Are you suggesting there's a kernel change needed that shouldn't load vesafb until later? Or are you saying I should set GRUB_TERMINAL=console and do something once it's booted? I can't modprobe vesafb now after all. Sorry if I'm a bit slow on the uptake here -- this is my first rodeo. I am primarily a C++ developer but I have not spent any time in the kernel before. Unfortunately I can't change the config in any way that would cause regression in production. That includes lowering the resolution or just using 80x24. They're pretty strict on both regression and security here. Also, there is no SSH to these boxes so any interaction I have with them is sitting physically in front of them. I got some more dmesg outputs and checked /proc/fb on each. 12.04 3.2 and 12.04 3.13 SYSFB=N displayed the same: 0 VESA VGA 12.04 3.13 SYSFB=Y was: 0 simple -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1434581 Title: Console extremely slow with 3.13 and newer kernels for certified servers with Matrox G200er2 or similar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1434581/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That's correct, the VESA framebuffer (vesafb) is what I saw on lsmod on older kernels. I can do any other testing you'd like with different kernels or versions of Ubuntu as the system I'm doing this on is purely test. Pre-setting the desired resolution results in a slow console and setting GRUB_TERMINAL=console results in a good speed console, but the resolution is too low. What you stated about checking the dmesg and see what framebuffer driver is actually being used made me wonder if I had missed something, so I did a bit of investigation. In 3.13 with CONFIG_X86_SYSFB=on I get simple-framebuffer in my dmesg. With it off, I get vesafb. Is there a way for me to force simple-framebuffer? Is it possible that either the system isn't using vesafb in older kernels even though it lists it? Is it possible there was regression in vesafb when it was merged into the kernel? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1434581 Title: Console extremely slow with 3.13 and newer kernels for certified servers with Matrox G200er2 or similar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1434581/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I removed the bios-outdated tag, let me know if I need to do another collect. ** Tags removed: bios-outdated-2.3.3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1434581 Title: Console extremely slow with 3.13 and newer kernels for certified servers with Matrox G200er2 or similar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1434581/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can do that on Monday when I'm back in the office no problem. This is a test machine so I can do just about anything with it.

apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected trusty ** Description changed: When I first came across this issue I thought it was the same as bug #1316035 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg- server/+bug/1316035), but this bug seems to be about X and it is reporting xorg-server as the package with the issue. I've seen a report on the certification program already on this, but it was lacking follow- up and suggested a bug report, question 255332 (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification/+question/255332). I've already asked about this on the forums, and received no replies. I originally encountered this issue due to having a bunch of Dell servers that I was testing with kernel 3.13 on 12.04. The text console is so slow that it is unusable when using vi or doing an operation similar to dpkg -l |grep xorg. Comparing the exact same system with kernel 3.2 or 3.11 loaded and running lsmod, vesafb is listed and performance is excellent. It is not listed on the 3.13 system. The same issue exists on 14.04 with the 3.13 or 3.16 kernel. Attempting to do modprobe vesa or modprobe vesafb returns modprobe: FATAL: Module vesa not found and modprobe: FATAL: Module vesafb not found respectively. Attempting to use uvesafb on this hardware results in a black screen. Attempting to use vga16fb results in good performance, but I am locked to 640x480. I tried to use fbset to force higher resolutions, but it either results in a distorted display or tells me there is not enough memory. I need a 1280x1024 console with performance equal to 12.04 with kernels 3.2-3.11. The server I'm using for testing is a Dell R320. - This appears to be regression as I can duplicate it by simply doing a - fresh install of 12.04.1 and not having the issue, while doing a fresh - install of 12.04.5, 14.04.1, or 14.04.2 results in a very slow console. + This appears to be regression as I can duplicate it by simply doing a fresh install of 12.04.1 and not having the issue, while doing a fresh install of 12.04.5, 14.04.1, or 14.04.2 results in a very slow console. + --- + AlsaDevices: + total 0 + crw-rw 1 root audio 116, 1 Mar 20 13:17 seq + crw-rw 1 root audio 116, 33 Mar 20 13:17 timer + AplayDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.7 + Architecture: amd64 + ArecordDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + AudioDevicesInUse: Error: command ['fuser', '-v', '/dev/snd/seq', '/dev/snd/timer'] failed with exit code 1: + CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 + HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=3255aa87-ba68-4b74-bdb0-1112aba7d46e + InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-03-20 (0 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.3) + IwConfig: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + MachineType: Dell Inc.
