The fix was added to the v3.19-rc6 kernel as the following commit: 4369a69 drm/radeon: add a dpm quirk list It was also cc'd to stable, so it will make it's way into the upstream 3.16 and other stable kernels. It was already added to the upstream 3.16 staging queue: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2015-February/053894.html You should be able to test the 3.16 kernel with that fix as soon as it's available.

[Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup
Few roadmap questions. Do I guess correctly, that the appropriate upstream kernel should work, since the kernel you gave me with the patch from upstream worked, in early January? Is there a way to test, how can I test directly an upstream kernel that it really works in my case? Or it is more or less trivial, that it shoul work and it is not worthwhile to test it? Or the kernel you gave me is almost exaclty same as an upstream kernel, except for the necessary customisations for Ubuntu? In other terms, we tested more or less an upstream kernel in early January? 15.04 is very close to us, but can I expect, that somewhere in the summer the kernel patch that helped me WILL appear in an official Ubuntu kernel upgrade?

[Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup
** Description changed: kernel 3.13.0-37 and 3.16.0-23, but not kernel 3.13.0-36 The phenomenon: just when the user interface starts at the end of the Ununtu startup, the screen reamins in one solid color (very light grey, this is the everage of my colors), except for the topmost 3-4 scan lines, where one can see some sort of vibrating content. Sometimes there is a 1-3 seconds of normal operation just at the start, when Ctrl-Alt-F2 works, and swithing there one can work in the character terminal forever. But as soon as the disorder in the X view appears, even the Ctrl-Alt-F2 console change does not work visually, however a blindly stroken Ctr-Alt-Del is correctly executed. What I know: (1) on the core i3 based laptop there is no trace of this kind of view crash, while in case of the Phenom x6 1100t and Radeon HD 6570 based desktop machine the problem is fully deterministic. (2) the problem is distro independet, i.e.: I have it with Ubuntu 14.04 + kernel 3.13.0-37-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 + 3.16.0-23-generic, and I do NOT have it with Ubuntu 14.04 + kernel 3.13.0-36-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 + 3.13.0-36-generic. (3) In case of Ubuntu 14.04 in average every second or third boot gave a 1-3 seconds of grace period when I could escape to Ctrl-Alt-F2, while in case of Ubuntu 14.10 there is no such a short time slot when I could escape. (4) my configuration is set to fall into my only user account directly, I will do experiments, whether the problem is there, if the startup is without falling into an account. If I can, I will apport log files with produced with the 3.16.0-23-generic kernel as well, not only with the 3.13.0-36-generic.

[Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup
Due to your careful question, it turned out, that I have made very serious error! When installing your Utopic test kernel with commit b47f210 reverted I did not install the linux-image-extra... I tried to check whether I did same kind of error earlier. In case of 3.13.0-36-generic, 3.13.0-36-generic and 3.16.0-28-generic, and in general, if the installation source was an Ubuntu release, then the extra was there always. In case of kernel-PPA, following the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds tips ( comment here: #30), I installed the headers as well, while I did NOT installed the kernel extra, since there is no such separated stuff. I tested quite a lot of kernels. But, do I see correctly, that a size of greater than 50MB of kernel binary package means, that that package contains the extras as well? I see, when there is a separate extra package, then the normal and extra package together is slighly larger than the single over 50MB kernel binary package, this is why I think that this kind of single package contains the extras as well. Then I got 4 different kernels upto diverse commits, but since they are gone from the URL you gave me, I can not RETEST them, ... while I am suspicious that I did not install the extras, but may happen that I installed on the base of why not if it is there, simply I do not remember. Now in case of the latest kernel, which is already an Utopic test kernel with commit b47f210 reverted, I am sure, that I did NOT install extras. However this kernel without the extras, --- due to it's revision number collision with the similar kernel of the normal Ubuntu release, --- is sensitive to whether the packages of the normal Ubuntu kernels are there or not. In my #42 comment: the extras of the normal release kerlen of the same version number was there, while the extras you provided were NOT installed, and in this case I get the usual error. But, if I remove any trace of the normal release kernel, and then I install your kernel with extras, then IT WORKS, ... actually I write this comment using your latest kerenel provided me! I try to prevent this kernel from updating by the automatic updating system of Ubuntu. Is installing linux-image-### and linux-image-extra-### enough to get rid of the other kernel with same version number, or what I have to do to make a clean install of the kernels you gave me? In short: 3.13.0-36-generic works, 3.13.0-37-generic has the issue, official 3.16.0-28-generic also has the issue, but YOUR 3.16.0-28-generic WORKS. I really excuse myself for my big error and WASTING YOUR TIME, and naturally I am ready to repeat former tests, if you could provide those packages again. This week I prepared to formulate my thanks that regardless of we know each other you give your time and knowledge, ... and jut in this week I had to discover my error vasting resources. I advocate the free softwares approximately since two and half decades, as a university staff, so in theory I understand the importance and the meaning of this global movement, ... but it is very touching to have such an abstract and at the same time personal experinece, that someone from the mankind whom I even don't know on which continent is resident, helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386534 Title: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1386534/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup
I have just tested the specially prepared 3.13.11-03131106-generic kernel you gave me, and the usual error IS THERE. Using the last few new kernels, the typical scenario is this: (1) the correct picture is there for 1 or at most 2 seconds (2) then the view is wraps around, asif the horisontal synchron position was at the two-third of the lines (3) then within additional very fey seconds the screen becomes white, except for the topmost few scan lines (4) and again pretty soon, the whole bright area begins to vibrate between bright white and less bright And as soon as I boot back into an earlier kernel but using the same Ubuntu root partition, then the screen is steady, and I can work, e.g. write this comment.

[Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup
** Description changed: kernel 3.13.0-37 and 3.16.0-23, but not kernel 3.13.0-36 The phenomenon: just when the user interface starts at the end of the Ununtu startup, the screen reamins in one solid color (very light grey, this is the everage of my colors), except for the topmost 3-4 scan lines, where one can see some sort of vibrating content. Sometimes there is a 1-3 seconds of normal operation just at the start, when Ctrl-Alt-F2 works, and swithing there one can work in the character terminal forever. But as soon as the disorder in the X view appears, even the Ctrl-Alt-F2 console change does not work visually, however a blindly stroken Ctr-Alt-Del is correctly executed. What I know: (1) on the core i3 based laptop there is no trace of this kind of view crash, while in case of the Phenom x6 1100t and Radeon HD 6570 based desktop machine the problem is fully deterministic. (2) the problem is distro independet, i.e.: I have it with Ubuntu 14.04 + kernel 3.13.0-37-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 + 3.16.0-23-generic, and I do NOT have it with Ubuntu 14.04 + kernel 3.13.0-36-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 + 3.13.0-36-generic. (3) In case of Ubuntu 14.04 in average every second or third boot gave a 1-3 seconds of grace period when I could escape to Ctrl-Alt-F2, while in case of Ubuntu 14.10 there is no such a short time slot when I could escape. (4) my configuration is set to fall into my only user account directly, I will do experiments, whether the problem is there, if the startup is without falling into an account. If I can, I will apport log files with produced with the 3.16.0-23-generic kernel as well, not only with the 3.13.0-36-generic.

[Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup
(1) Getting help how to make tests with upstream kernels, I did find the step, where using NONE of the few kernels BEFORE that point I have NO xorg error, while using ANY of the few kernels AFTER that point I HAVE xorg error. before 3.13 upstream 3.12.33-031233-generic has NO error v3.13.11.6-trusty 13-Aug-2014 and before is OK v3.13.11.7-trusty 18-Sep-2014 and after has the ERROR after 3.13 upstream 3.14.25-031425-generic has the ERROR upstream 3.18.0-031800rc5-generic has the ERROR Reinstalling a formerly purged NON-upstream Ubuntu kernel, and investigating the release date of the kernel packages, I could verify, that the critical kernel change step is exactly at the correspondig point. 3.13.0-36-generic 04-Sep-2014 and before is OK 3.13.0-37-generic 25-Sep-2014 and after has the ERROR 3.16.0-24-generic ... has the ERROR All of these kernels were tested with the SAME Ubuntu 14.10 systems, and the only difference between them was that wich kernel is booted. In case of Ubuntu 14.04 I had the critical point EXACTLY at this same place. (2) Intalling upstream v3.13.11.7-trusty kernel, I catched the folowing error: Running depmod. depmod: ERROR: Module 'hci_vhci' has devname (vhci) but lacks major and minor information. Ignoring. update-initramfs: deferring update (hook will be called later) (3) Trying out two dozens of different kernels, now I can give a bit better description of the nature of the graphic error depending on kernel version. 3/a: except for few cases, the keyboard shortcuts work, they can invoke programs assigned to them, ... naturally I can not use them, because I can not see them. 3/b: almost alway the option to go Ctrl-Alt-F1 and apply Ctrl-Alt-Del is alive, while almost never can I read anything even on the caracter terminal, ... except for the case, if the crash of the graphic view arrives a bit (few seconds) later, and I have a narrow time slot to escape to the character consoles. 3/c: if the crash is later, then it is exactly when I first move the mouse. 3/d: I left the most important experinece to the end: the graphical view crash has four different states, the middle two of them are new views for me, due to the new kernels I tried out: -1- as if an oldtimer CRT was not able to correctly position the horisontal sync, and hence the picture is horisontally rotated, and this state is different from all the other erratic state in that I can invoke and use graphical programs, hard to use, because of the rotation: going rightward out I arrive and enter at the left edge -2- as if an oldtimer CRT can not catch at all an inappropriate horisontal sync, far beyond its frequency limit -3- the essentially almost homogenous white view is patched of very small very intesively blinking regions -4- at the top a very few lines reflect the original content of the top unity line, but the rest is white and STILL, no blinking, ... let us mention, that my background is white, but NOTHING can occur in this area, this is a dead white area Originally an immediate or soon -4-, and immediate or soon -1- soon -4- were the typical scenarios. Trying out additional kernels, the additional possibilities are: inmediate or soon -3-, and immediate or soon -1- soon -2- soon -3-. Perhaps I should draw a state transition picture.

Yes, actuall that was the way, how I used my main computer when 14.04 was in use: namely I had the both of 3.13.0-37-generic and 3.13.0-36-generic there in 14.04, and I made my daily work using 3.13.0-36-generic, and sometimes booting into 3.13.0-37-generic I checked whether the problem went away due to a lucky update of an X-related package. Now I have 14.10 and I have 3.16.0-24-generic showing the same error and 3.13.0-36-generic what I can use on daily base, and whenever an update occures, I try out whether it swiped away the problem. I would be very happy to perform a kernel bisect. Could you tell me, how to RE-install 3.13.0-37-generic ONTO 14.10, because I did not know about the kernel bisect possibility, and I simply purged this kernel version. I think, that 3.13.0-37-generic will show the problem using 14.10 as well, since the later 3.16.0-23-generic and 3.16.0-24-generic also shows the SAME problem.

[Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup
WARNING: the apport above is with the kernel 3.13.0-36-generic, where there is no problem (see the origonal post), hence it is useful only for getting the configuration of my machine. In case of 3.16.0-23-generic I am not able to get a non-blank X neither a readable console, hence I can not provide an apport-collect result for that kernel. However, if someone could provide me a shell script for BLIND use, then I can login blindly into a character console and run that shell script, but I have NO CHANCE to answer any question or to make any selection, since I sen NOTHING useful: the character console is broken in a different way: the usual left edge is vibrating somewhere at the 80% of the width, an only every second scan row is visible, and what is beyond the rigth edge, that appears really fuzzy on the left side.
