[Bug 1079440] Re: 8086:27a2 [Dell MP061] i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors
Christopher, I guess this is an automated response but I'll ask you anyway: How would I know if this is against the kernel or the graphics driver? Does anyone else have a clue? Keith, why are you suggesting that it's been fixed? Comments 56, 57, 58 and mine suggest otherwise...

[Bug 1079440] Re: [Dell MP061] i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors
I experience the same, in a 13.04 Lenovo Thinkpad X201s with i915 graphics. Updated but not upgraded to 13.10. Latest BIOS flashed yesterday. Problem existed before and after flashing. The following phrase (copied from another comment) describes my experience exactly: After a few minutes it freezes up in such a way that mouse movement can be seen but nothing can be clicked or typed. Forced rebooting with the power switch is the only option. Most logs in /var/log show nothing interesting. The event happened a bit before time 39909 so here's Xorg.0.log's relevant part (attached). It only happens when I try to wake the screens up after they have turned off. If I disable screen auto off function I am fine. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace works so I just relogin. Very annoying when I have virtual machines running though... they get shut off improperly. ** Attachment added: Xorg.0.log https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1079440/+attachment/3913504/+files/Xorg.0.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: [Dell MP061] i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Using apport-bug --save /tmp/foo.apport from a new tty while the X system is frozen? Or restart it and then invoke apport-bug?

[Bug 1079440] Re: i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors
I believe I'm also experiencing this bug on my Asus Eee PC 1015PEM which appears to be using an Intel i915 graphics chip (at least that is the driver thats dmesg says is loaded). As described above this works fine when using the laptops build in screen and no external monitor. Attaching an external monitor will provide a usable display for an unpredictable amount of time before a freeze will happen. Most of the time the freeze will still allow the mouse pointer to move and also allow CTRL + ALT + F1 to bring up the console. Sometimes neither the mouse moves or the console can be brought up. I've tried using the taskset workaround but this has not worked for me. This is still a bug using 13.04 with the latest updates installed (kernel 3.8.0-27-generic). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1079440] Re: i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors
This must be a very difficult situation for developers. There's no question in my mind that the problem that I could detect when I created this bug was resolved in February (as well as the related freedesktop- bugs #58594 which is where it was ultimately resolved). The difference may be that I was using software from Xorg-edgers at that time (12.10) and have dropped that since loading 13.04. Anyway, I agree with the three previous comments that the situation is less perfect than it was in February. I cannot create the problem easily like I could before, but I have seen it happen on my HP mini 110. I also borrowed a friend's Dell Inspiron to convert it to Ubuntu. It has seemingly the same video controller as my mini (945) and exhibits similar problems. There seem to be other video problems with that unit but I can't characterize them well. For reference, I have once again set up the taskset -pa 1 $(pgrep -x compiz) fix in my HP mini and haven't seen the problem since but I wouldn't call it definitive.

[Bug 1079440] Re: i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors
I have a new laptop now but just to verify this bug I fired up my old laptop, upgraded to 13.04 and the bug still exists for me as well. This is on the same machine I used when I originally reported this bug. One aspect of this that is 100% reproducible now is that when the external monitor is plugged in and I suspend (either by shutting the lid or from the main menu) then it hangs. The screen just goes black and the computer is on but no longer responsive to anything but a hard shut- down. If the external monitor is NOT plugged it then it suspends normally, 100%. I don't recall this being the case before.

The error ocurred there too, if I enable the composite window effects. I can run the second monitor with every other window manager without composite, but only unity is only working with composite. Why I can't disable composite and run unity2d in 12.10 anymore? And why is the importance just medium? For my small display it is very useful to work with unity. It is very unfortunate that.

(In reply to comment #25) I couldn't find a commit with the number Chris gave. But I loaded up the 3.8.0-997_3.8.0-997.201302180432 kernel from drm-intel-next. However, despite the fact that it seems to have built and installed okay, it dies with an almost-all-black screen a few seconds after it starts initializing the ramfs. I repeated it all and got the same results. Both downloads of the parts gave the same md5sums as follows: That's a complete different problem. And a critical one to boot. Normally if it breaks that early it is because the initramfs is broken and needs to be rebuilt. Try passing nomodeset to your kernel as it boots and see if that makes diagnosing the problem easier. Besides the date on kernel is earlier than the patch I referenced to fix the original issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1079440]
Since Chris pointed out that the drm-intel-next build (Feb 18) is too old for this fix (never mind that it also seems to exhibit a critical bug on my computer), I tried the latest build from drm-intel-nightly (Feb 23). No critical bug there. However, it wastes very little time -- a few seconds -- before freezing up. This may be a slightly different freeze as well because the cursor was not responsive. It also didn't do CTL-ALT-F1 though that was never a reliable thing in the past during this freeze. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This problem affects me too. Sometimes, when I use two monitors in extended mode, the PC suddenly freezes. When I hover something, the cursor changes (e.g. if I hover an entry the cursor becomes a I), but if I click, this doesn't happen any more. Also, if I disconnect the secondary monitor, the primary becomes black. When the screen is not black, I can however switch to a TTY and try to restart the desktop manager, but it doesn't show up and I need to restart. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

However, before long everything freezes up. The mouse pointer can still wander freely across both screens, and I can prove by careful preparation that the keyboard is still sending keys to the selected window. I suspect that the actual event is triggered by a keystroke or mouse movement because it doesn't seem to happen if you just set it up and wait for failure. Only two things can change the video display. (1) CTL-ALT-F1 blanks the VGA display but then the usual login message is not written to it. (2) the inevitable press and hold the power button causes blank screens when the power finally goes off. Note that this happens with either the installed 12.10 or a live DVD of 12.10. It does not appear to be a problem with Ubuntu 12.04 (tested using a live CD). 12.04 uses xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4.

I have a refinement for my workaround. I supposed that the important thing was to keep Xorg and compiz on the same CPU. But that is not the case.

[Bug 1079440] Re: i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors
Nice workaround. The fact that the mouse pointer is implemented in hardware yet invisible, as well as Ctrl+Alt+F1 not working properly mean this is almost certainly a driver problem.

[Bug 1079440] Re: Random complete freeze using dual monitors
I've made a breakthrough in understanding this problem. It seems to give me a 100% workaround but of course I can't be sure. The solution is to use taskset to force the Xorg and compiz processes to always be run on the same CPU. The simple terminal commands are: taskset -pa 1 $(pgrep -x compiz) sudo taskset -pa 1 $(pgrep -x Xorg) You might need to do this before the second monitor is connected. I have run for several hours both in a quiet state and with as much complexity and CPU bashing as the computer can reasonably handle. The high CPU loading makes the system sluggish, but it does not fail. Good luck turning this workaround into a real fix! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have also entered a bug in the bugzilla at freedesktop.org. This bug is number 58594. I was advised in response to that bug that many changes have been made in related software recently and I should try a drm- intel daily build of kernel 3.7.0 plus the entire suite of xorg- edgers updates. I was able to do this; more details are available at the freedesktop bug. But there was no change in behavior. I think it is noteworthy that both my computer and mikesmithv's computer use the same i954 chips even though they are otherwise different. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1079440] Re: Random complete freeze using dual monitors
I believe your focus on the Intel driver is correct. I originally had problems with 12.04 and it just got worse with 12.10. I believe it is the same problem discussed here: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/09/20/1245240/stubborn-intel- graphics-bug-haunts-ubuntu-1204 If I had it to do over again I would have not used the word random in the bug title, it is 100% guaranteed it will crash when the external monitor is used. With 12.04 it happened with a day, with 12.10 it more like an hour and even faster for Keith. What exactly triggered the crash may be random the there is no doubt that it is the external monitor makes it happen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1079440] Re: Random complete freeze using dual monitors
More information: Although this is marked above as applying to compiz, I feel that it is really the i915 driver that powers both screens. Ubuntu 12.04 uses xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4. 12.10 uses 2:2.20.9-0ubuntu2. It's more of a feeling than a certainty. The driver would probably be easier to replace since there has been a lot of work in compiz, gnome, etc. since 12.04. Also, I was able to prove, despite what the original report says, that keystrokes DO come through after the freeze. I don't think mouse clicks do, but that is probably harder to be sure of. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1079440] Re: Random complete freeze using dual monitors
I've looked into this further. First, the bug is heavily related to screen, keyboard, and/or mouse activity. If I set up two monitors and don't have anything going on more interesting than the clock changing once a minute, all is fine for hours. If I set up activities on both screens and start playing with applications, the system freezes within a few minutes. (Perl printing out an infinite run of integers is very nice, so is system monitor's resources screen.) Second, while this happens using either the installed 12.10 or the live 12.10 DVD, it does not happen using the 12.04 live CD. Perl had counted to 180 million, taking several hours, and I had played with various applications during that time. [There were some minutes of screen blanking due to inactivity as well.] I could not find anything in /var/log that appeared to relate to this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1079440] Re: Random complete freeze using dual monitors
I get the same problem with the same description except that it only takes a few minutes. My Hardware is HP Mini 110. It appears that it only works properly using 800x600 for the external monitor, but I can use native 1024x600 for the internal screen. After a few minutes it freezes up in such a way that mouse movement can be seen but nothing can be clicked or typed. Forced rebooting with the power switch is the only option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1079440] [NEW] Random complete freeze using dual monitors
Public bug reported: I can run all day without problems if I boot up using just the laptop screen, but using an external monitor to extend the viewing area I get a crash after about an hour or two of use, 100% guaranteed. It seems completely random. I was getting similar crashes in 12.04 but using 2d fixed that. Now with 12.10 I have to use 3d. By complete freeze I mean no mouse click or key press does anything but I can still see the cursor move with the mouse. When I first installed 12.10 and the system froze I could use ctrl- alt-F1 to restart the display manager, but since a recent system update ctrl-alt-F1 just switches to a black screen (no text). Typing any kind of command seems to have no effect, so it is more than the characters simply not displaying. So this recent system update seems to make the crash more severe when it happens.
