[Bug 120347] Re: xorg hang after longer (12h) idle time
I'm running Kubuntu Feisty and I have an nvidia geforce 6200. I encounter the exact same problem: after leaving the computer running over night, I come back and xorg is at 100% (on one of my CPUs) and the window decorations have disappeared. Since I have a dual CPU system, my guess is that it is more tolerant towards this, so although X is completely frozen (only the mouse moves), I can ctrl+alt+F1 to a console and take down the system cleanly. (however, if I switch back to the X server before rebooting, the window decorations are gone) After a reboot everything is fine. I also ran strace on xorg when it goes berserk, but the only thing that was noteworthy that I came up with was also the SIGALRT message. Comparing it to an strace of xorg in normal conditions (when it's not going berserk), however, revealed that the SIGALRT message also comes up during normal operation, and neither that nor any other calls that xorg makes while it's berserk indicate anything out of the ordinary. Further, I have taken advantage of the dual CPUs to examine all logs in detail as the problem occurs: nothing out of the ordinary, in fact, since the system has been sitting idle, hardly any activity is logged. I checked the KDE settings and they are showing the screen saver to be off. I do have kpowermanager installed (because I had a problem where my network card would stop working after a while otherwise), but it's set to Performance and the screen saver, auto-suspend for the screen, and in fact all other power-saving options are unchecked. My screens do turn blank, however, after a period of inactivity, so it's possible that this is related. On a side note, I have three monitors on two nvidia cards, running on xinerama with the 9755 nvidia binary drivers. All signs point to this not being a driver problem, however, unless nvidia and intel use some of the same libraries in their drivers. I also wanted to point out that I usually don't lock my screen when I leave, so that might not be relevant to this particular problem. In addition, my GLX does not work for some reason. Whenever I try to run a glx-enabled app, the app crashes, although it is installed, because the glxinfo command outputs a grid with the glx info. Rolf, please let me know the status of your GLX (try running a GLX screensaver and see what happens), as well as any power management software (such as kpowersave) that you may have running on your system. Also, do you have a screen save enabled and do your screens go into auto-suspend mode after a period of inactivity? This is a really tricky problem and I really have to find a solution because it's starting to happen even after shorter periods of inactivity. The intervals are seemingly random, making the problem virtually impossible to reproduce and difficult to troubleshoot, but usually the problem happens after long periods of idle time (although it has occurred after only a few minutes of idle time), and every time it happens my workflow is interrupted, so it's really starting to bother me. It's also embarrassing if you're about to show someone (i.e. a client) something on your computer and it's completely frozen. If we put our notes together, we will probably be able to resolve the problem a lot quicker. ** Attachment added: xorg.conf http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8693341/xorg.conf ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = In Progress -- xorg hang after longer (12h) idle time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120347 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 98668] Re: when I close laptop lid, xorg takes 100% and never recovers
I think this might be the same as bug 120347. In both cases, X takes up 100% CPU after the screen turns blank. The difference is that in this scenario here, the screen turns blank because the lid of the laptop is closed. Both situations are related to the power state of the screen changing (or about to be changed) and X subsequently going berserk, with the only way to recover being logging onto a console and killing X manually. -- when I close laptop lid, xorg takes 100% and never recovers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98668 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for confirming this bug. It keeps happening for me too, no matter what.

[Bug 75295] Re: Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive
I have figured out that the problem occurs even with a base system, since I booted the system from the Kubuntu 7.04 Live CD, and the problem occurred after the system loaded (but before the GUI loaded). Oddly, I was able to boot from it about two or three times, but the fourth time it would no longer boot; even after I reboot the computer, I would still get the same problem (even though I am not dealing with a persistent system), which indicates that the problem may be hardware-related. Specifically, it looks like the driver is not compatible with this kernel. I might be able to reproduce the problem again, and, from the syslog determine where exactly the problem arises, however, this might be difficult, given that I will be booting from the CD, without persistence, so I will not be able to go back and view the syslog after reboot, and I will not be able to SSH into the system to view it, relying only on the console during boot. -- Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 75295] Re: Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive
Ok, I think the problem with the system locking up when there is *no* CD in the drive is different from the bug that occurs when there *is* a CD in the drive. Could someone who has the problem when the CD is *not* in the drive post the output of /var/log/messages? Or any other debugging output that might be helpful in comparing the two problems. I think it might be possible that the problem that occurs without the CD is broader as it has been reported on non-i386 machines and non- ASUS/Samsung drives, but it looks like the problem that occurs with the CD in the drive only occurs on ASUS/Samsung drives and perhaps only on Feisty. As far as installing Windows to flash the firmware of the drive, I commend your bravery, Ben.

Thanks for the time regarding the compile-time kernel option. I will keep that in mind in case the problems like this become more pervasive. Ok, it look like we can narrow this down to ASUS drives. If anyone is familiar with their firmware that might help us further. Meanwhile, I'm experiencing the same problem again, this time only on my ASUS drive, not the SONY drive, and the problem only occurs intermittently. I'm now also convinced that it's not related to libdvdcss, even though the problem disappeared the fist time right after installed that package. I honestly don't know where to begin to look for the source of the problem, so any ideas would be great! I've also had other issues where the IRQ timing starts to get out of what and the entire system starts to go insane, with the hard drive spinning out of control; this happens randomly, although lately it hasn't happened as much, since I disabled most ACPI options in the BIOS. My error logs indicate that this problem is due to the IRQ timing being off which is often caused by CPU time scaling. I'm thinking that the problem here with the DVD drives might be related since the symptoms are very similar. If you have this problem, perhaps try disabling certain ACPI / CPU time scaling / other power management settings (espcially on the laptop!) which might be causing this problem.

Re: [Bug 75295] Re: Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive
Ok, I really think that the problem occurs because your system is trying to read an encrypted DVD but you don't have the required libdvdcss3 package installed. I had the same problem and after I installed that package, everything worked fine. Have you tried using a non-encrypted DVD? Someone who is currently experiencing this problem should try using a self-burned DVD to test if this is indeed the cause of the problem. Further, try installing the libdvdcss3 package and post here if the issue is resolved or if it still persists. If we can isolate it to that problem, a fix should be forthcoming. --Patrick -- Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 75295] Re: Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive
can you post the tail of dmesg after the system starts to hang? Or if that's not possible, try attaching /var/log/messages. Seeing your specific error messages can probably help us identify the problem. I always got an error when I first insert the media, saying that a particular block could not be read, are you getting that too? Also, is your system locking up even if there is no disk in the drive? It sounds like you can only work normally if the drive is open, correct? On 5/20/07, Jon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This doesn't happen only on encrypted DVD. It happens and in self-burned media.

Re: [Bug 75295] Re: Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive
Mathias, the problem that you're having is not exactly the same as the one I had, I don't think, but I've had a similar problem: it looks like you're using an SMP kernel, which, I have noticed sometimes hangs because of IRQ timing issues. I'm not quite sure what causes this, but the consensus seems to be that it has something to do with CPU time scaling. Sometimes these lockups happen after you change your CPU time scaling scheme using a power manager app (for example from Ondemand to Performance). Try disabling time scaling and see if the problem persists. Also, if you are running any application that affects IRQ timing, such as irqbalance, try disabling it. I had a similar problem and it appears to have gone away after I disabled irqbalance.

[Bug 75295] Re: Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive
I have the same problem; resetting the drive doesn't help. The problem occurs on Feisty with the latest updates on an Intel x86_64. I used multiple drives to test it, and the problem occurs with each drive, so it seems to be drive-independent. The problem just occurred, I don't know what caused it. The only thing that changed is that I updated some packages. I don't where the activity of the adept update manager is logged, if someone know how to find that, I can post which packages I updated before noticing the problem. The output of dmesg and lspci is attached. ** Attachment added: lspci -vv http://librarian.launchpad.net/7710401/lspci.output -- Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 75295] Re: Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive
I can confirm that this is happening on x86_64 running Feisty with the latest updates. b[SOLUTION]/b However, I noted that the default installation does not come with the libdvdcss3 package (for legal reasons), which is required to read encrypted DVDs. After installing it per instructions at http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-play-d...r-ubuntu-linux. After that, everything worked fine for all of my drives. :-D -- Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 112120] Re: guidance-power-manager crashes at startup
I'm experiencing the same problem, as well as bug 91545. I tried your patch above, but it hasn't worked, guidance-power-manager is still crashing, as well as the display configurator. Should I mess with the settings in the BIOS regarding ACPI? I tried setting the CPU scaling to performance, but according to powernowd, CPU scaling is not supported; I don't know if that's a harware issue or a software issue, since this is a Pentium D 3.0Ghz with the following kernel: $ uname -a Linux freerick-desktop 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 06:17:24 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux The output of the lshal command is also attached to this post, so you can review it. Since I'm using an x64 platform, I can't use the updated packages that you have released. Do you maybe have a tarball I can compile? Any help with this would be much appreciated. In addition, my ethernet adapter dies every once in a while, usually after a period of inactivity. From what other users have posted, this appears to be a power management issue; the kernel logs the following: May 15 06:51:14 freerick-desktop kernel: [ 4409.351884] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out --Patrick ** Attachment added: lshal http://librarian.launchpad.net/7661468/lshal.txt -- guidance-power-manager crashes at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 64012] Re: Bogus chars in available file after upgrade
I have the same problem running Feisty 7.10 on a custom-built Intel Pentium D. I was using apt-get autoremove to clean out uneeded packages when my system crashed and I had to restart; I've been having problems with my hard drive (Western Digital Raptor / WDC WD1500ADFD-0 Version: 20.0) and fsck revealed a lot of bad sectors, so I'm pretty sure that the file did in fact get corrupted when I had to reset my system during apt-get's operation.
