I have similar issues but now that I have grub2 (damn damn) I cannot set the acpi and other options (in a easy way). Someone pointed out the atheros wirelss chipset as possible problem and I can only partially confirm since I have one myself. The problem only shows up when I use Firefox, not using the wlan. Also, rebooting in winxp and then coming back to 6.10 (with default kernel - whatever version it is) makes the trick.

Would anyone of you happen to know how to restrict the lowest C-state of the processor?

This bug isn't getting attention because it's a hodgepodge of unrelated bugs and symptoms being reported by people. Everybody who has a freezing problem, report a new bug (yes, really). Post the usual sets of logs to your own bugs, and don't jump to conclusions. This will result in the triagers being able to clearly see who has what symptoms, and allow the developers to focus their attention. Polygon, could you report a fresh bug, reattaching the log files and pulling any useful details together there?

[Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
@ Carey Underwood This may have turned into a hodgepodge but, in my opinion as a non-techy, there is something fundamentally wrong for so many people to be having similar issues. I've had to turn off multiple cpu support to get 100% stability which is not a satisfactory solution. It may help if someone could suggest to all affected some form of test (or tests) which may be useful in trying to pin down what is causing the problem; a problem that only seems to have surfaced with Jaunty. My, and many others systems, were perfectly stable with Hardy and Intrepid. As a matter of interest, the latest official kernel upgrade to 2.6.28-15-generic and nVidia 180.44 seems to have brought better stability. I can now use both cpu cores without the system freezing every 20 minutes although the occasional freeze still happens. -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
At KeithR and everybody else: It really looks like this bug report is actually a multiple-cause, similar-symptom report, which leads to mixed comments. This makes it impossible for the devs to track all the possible causes, as those have to be pinpointed and fixed one by one. I am too for everybody opening their own bug report. Having multiple bugs mixed in the same report is useless for the developers. It is actually more useful to mark multiple bugs as duplicates of one another; this way, different causes would still be tracked separately. For instance, my crash-like problem turned out to be an multiple-minutes freeze but my system eventually came back always. I solved it by using 2.6.29 from mainline. So far, I haven't seen any comments of somebody experiencing the exact same-cause symptom. -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sound/flash now appear to be the killers for me. My machine has now been running overnight and through the morning and seems happy enough. I had a freeze yesterday with a scim-launcher segfault while I was listening to music and then clicked on a heavy flash site. That was the experience I had before, although I also had a few npviewer.bin segfaults which I assume are related. It has now been up 17 hours and I have been able to work for the early part of the day. However, I have not used any sound or looked at flash heavy sites, or indeed used Skype. Those things seem to accelerate the crash. I read in one of these posts that they cause rapid memory leaks.

[Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
Hi: I have had the same or similar experience to most others in this bug report. My machine started freezing randomly a few weeks back after years of reliable service. I tried lots of things and eventually determined that it was a heat problem. The CPU fan was full of dust and the temps were pretty high. I blew out the dust and the temp went right down, but the random freezes remained. That machine was an Asus P5B Deluxe, Dual Core, 6GB RAM, NVidia 6600 on Jaunty. On close inspection, I could see the graphics riser was slightly warped and discoloured, so I assumed it had heated to the point that it had damaged the MB and that was what was causing the random freezes, I got a new MB, CPU, RAM (Asus M3N, AM2, 4GB RAM, on-board NVidia 8200) and re-installed Jaunty. It worked fine for about 1 day and then the random freezes happened again. I tried all the suggestions on this and other posts such as installing the 185 driver, except the 2.6.30 kernel, but still it froze more and more. I am now running 8.04 with very limited graphics. I can at least work, but would like to use jaunty if possible. I hope someone can find a cure for this ill.

No freezes for a week since I started booting with maxcpus=1, though that, naturally, isn't a solution, but only more of a fix until this gets resolved. Also, I'd like to share the info that the last time I had this sort of uptime, was during a period of a severely degraded internet connection. Some workers had damaged the outside cable, resulting in a severely unstable connection, but more interestingly, it made my adsl router connect at only 3Mbps, and during that period (10 days), I didn't have a single freeze. When the connections was restored to the usual 20/2, I had a freeze a couple of hours later. Longest uptime with full internet connection and without booting with maxcpus=1 is usually around 2½ days...

After nearly a week of no freezes using only one core I tried switching the second core back on. Froze up within minutes. Turned off second core and now back to no freezes. No appreciable difference in performance between one or two cores - this shouldn't be, surely? alcCapone - I didn't turn off the processor core by using maxcpu option but via the bios. This effectively turns the hardware into a single core machine. The op system will then see it as single core from the start. Perhaps the use of maxcpu was the reason it didn't fix it for you.

[Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
Somehow I overcame the problem. I was (and I am practically) still having freezes, when I wanted to test something. I just wanted to see what happens to the sound, when a freeze occur. So I installed vlc, and was listening to music every day. I made sure that music never stops, even when I was away from keyboard. But no luck, no freeze occured. I was thinking that might have been a lucky day. So I was testing this out 2-3 days in a row, and I had no freeze at all. Then when I stopped vlc for a moment (changing playlist) the system froze. I thought that might have been unlucky sequence of events, so back to testing. No freeze again. So I thought maybe this might be sound related (at least in my case). I must admit, when I installed Jaunty sound didn't work well. I could listen to music somehow, but there were no system sounds, only the warning sound, but that also came from the speaker of my motherboard (even when thunderbird checked for emails). Anyway, I visited Realtek's site, downloaded the latest alsa driver, installed it. Next time I booted, everything worked. System sounds, music and video playback, youtube, etc. Now I have found a better music player (mpd), which uses less resources (and fits more to my problem). But still, there were no freezes. Then once, when I was changing music in Sonata (client for mpd) I got a freeze again. But not while listening to music. So far, I've got this system working for over a month now. I don't say, that it's a solution, but hey, if I can use Ubuntu I'm okay with it. I'm bound to listen to music all day? I don't care, I just need a bigger jukebox. To be precise, I still have sound problems. Sometimes alsa crashes while playing music or watching a video. Sometimes I need to restart it, sometimes I have to reinstall it. But even if I have to do that, I'm still happy using Jaunty instead of XP (20 second boot time, I love this os). It's faster reinstalling alsa, rebooting, than using windows every day (slow boot, lots of programs to load, etc.). Anyway, if anybody experiencing the same thing as I did try listening music every day. And if anybody knows the solution to my sound problem, please contact me. By the way @bryncoles: no, compiz is not the culprit (in my case). When I first wanted to get rid of the problem I tried everything: no update, no drivers installed, no additional programs installed, and the combinations of these three. But didn't worked for me. I even tried Kubuntu, but was still freezing (before installing any updates of softwares). Maybe I should have give a try to Mint, but now the problem is gone (or at least it's on vacation), I don't want to reinstall again. -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
After Andreas' comments about multi core processors I switched off one of my Athlon dual cores via the bios. Since then (about four days now) I have had no freezes despite switching Compiz effects back on and throwing every video loading I could at it. In fact the system seems to run faster, albeit it slows down when really heavy loads are applied to the processor. Sometimes the processor load reaches 100% (monitored via Htop) but the system doesn't freeze. I had one site that I could guarantee would freeze the machine at http://www.tbyc.org/weather-station/ but even this doesn't seem to happen now. With both cores running the freezes happened with both Firefox and Opera when viewing pages with a Flash component (not all, the BBC site was OK). Using Htop I could see the process/command consuming the processor resources was: /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 Haven't a clue what that represents but here's the interesting bit. If I was patient and immediately closed Firefox or Opera then that process appeared to release the resources and processor loads dropped to 3 or 4%. However if Firefox or Opera were then reloaded the processor resources were immediately 'snatched' by the above process - on the same core. Everything then slowed down to freeze point again. This was repeatable time and time again. Applying layman's logic (I'm no expert) the problem seems to be in the handling of multi core loadings either by the bios, the hardware or Linux. I err to the latter as I had none of these problems with Ubuntu 8.04. Hope this ramble helps the experts. As an aside, is there any tool that can monitor and log the actual steps that the operating system/hardware is following? -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
For those of you experiencing both overheating and sluggish/freezing behavior under DELL E-Series laptops (possibly also some D-Series), I finally discovered the whole thing could be explained by some heat pipe or fan-related issue that many of those laptops experience! See the subject: http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/19247293/19398983.aspx So far, nothing seems to help (BIOS update etc), so it seems some of those laptops need to be send back to DELL for repair. Also, since the problems worsen with time, it is highly possible that those heat pipes are full of dust. This might help dividing this thread into people with real software issue and those with hardware problems experiencing the same symptoms.

[Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
After readig all above, i want to tell you: When running 4 cores there were diffrent stalls/freezes 1) The system hangs suddenly. No Mouse, No Keyboard, No ssh, only power off by hardware !!! 2) The system suddenly does not respond to mouseclicks, but mouse moves work sometimes, Numlock worked ONCE, but then No Keyboard any more. 3) I had an open Htop. Suddenly it showed 1 core 100% load. There it stayed. I tryd to find who this was, but soon after this, one core after the other stopped to freeze so maybe this error stopps one of the cores(task) at a point where all other cores have to stop later, because the first core(task) has claimed some system recources, and will never give it back again. While the other cores do not need this resource, they will work further for some time, but at some point there will be a other task, which will need it ... And so step by step the system stalls Since 1 run singlecore i did not have any freeze (but this is very odd. having 4cores, and disabling 3 of them because i have to do some work) Andreas -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If I try to launch vlc without interface, it fail to open /dev/dsp, and after if I try to launch alsamixer, I get this error :alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory (It work before launching vlc). The `sudo reboot` command return but doesn't display anything and the system does'nt restart.

Well, since switching back to my .30 ultimate kernel from the .29-5 generic, I have gone four days without a sudden freeze to black crash. I don't know why I'm having this space of good luck, but I reluctant to fiddle with anything. Incidentally my kernel log still shows tsc clocksource unstable. I think there are two basic types of freezes going on here: one is sudden and without warning, where the screen goes to black or the dominant window color, there may be mouse movement, or not, but all one can do is hit the power. The second kind involves very high processor use, rising temps, sluggishness, and freezing of the system. In this case, if one is quick enough x can be restarted or the offending program can be terminated through the keyboard. It may be helpful to describe just which of these types of freezes you experience when it happens.

Maybe, after all, I have a different issue. Today, after my first freeze I looked at the log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old). I ran through it, and I found (at the bottom) these lines: (EE) A4Tech Wireless Battery Free Optical Mouse: Read error: No such device (II) config/hal: removing device A4Tech Wireless Battery Free Optical Mouse (II) A4Tech Wireless Battery Free Optical Mouse: Close (II) UnloadModule: evdev As I was googling evdev, I found out that it's the module of all input devices (most mouses and keyboards). So in my case, that module can be the culprit. However, I still don't know what to do with it (how to fix/remove/replace/etc.), but maybe that can be a step discovering the origin of this bug.

Based on those (admittedly informal) numbers, I should perhaps note that I have just had a 10 day problem with my ISP, prompting my internet connections speed to drop to 3Mbit/512kb, notably giving me an uptime of 10 days on this system. Shortly after full service (20M/2M) was restored, the system froze in the usual way, leading me to believe that this, at least in my case, is a networking problem.

@VastOne, Sir Romanov: I don't think it could be an overclocking/heating problem. Or at least not in my case, since I use a C2D E8400 and never thought of overclocking. And since my BIOS controls the fans in my chassis (CPU fan 1, chassis fan 1) (ASUS Q-Fan), and never experienced such error in windows, overheating can't be the source of the freezes. Anyway, it seems to me, that there are different type of freezes. Laysan wrote, that his computer only turns sluggish, however, in my case, the computer completely unusable after the freeze. My mouse (A4Tech USB) losts power, the keyboard is not responding (even pressing the num lock has no effect). It's the same like when I shut down the computer, the only difference it's that it still has power (or at least i can hear the fans, the power supply unit, and the power on led is still on). The daemons stop, I can't establish connection through ssh, can't see myself logged in in pidgin. Rebooting the computer it's working fine, until another freeze. I have been thinking of hardware problems, but I'm not experiencing anything under Windows (even after using the computer for more than 12 hours), memory is just fine (the configuration is only a year old). Last time I booted to Ubuntu 9.04 I was running top in terminal, just to see whether something happens before the freeze. Nothing at all, no unusual high CPU/memory usage.

Well, I booted into my ultimate .30 kernel this afternoon and DRM is okay (though AIGLX calling of driver entry point still fails), so it appears it was the .29 generic kernel causing last night's problems. I have two 2.6.30 kernels (had a problem with kernel checker so I ended up with two), the ultimate and the candela. Don't know if they differ in any way, but after installation I had freezes with both. I have been up for about four hours now, and so far I have not had a crash.

@Vast One: I somehow came to the same conclusion yesterday! While trying to update my BIOS (which I never managed due to yet another ubuntu issue...anyways), I had to restart my computer quite often (Dell E6400). In doing so, the system froze, or at least went very slow, even before doing entering KDE (usually the problem appears with video playback under KDE), and it was impossible to make my computer work all night! I tried 2h and then realized the computer was extremely HOT! This morning everything is back to normal. @Manoj: Do you think this might be related to some power management issue or overheating/overclocking?

@Manoj I will try the mainline kernel (the .30) and let you know. If it fails (when) I will report back here and install your .28 kernel and see how that does. I'm sorry, I don't think I'm going to be much help with the issue of freezing to black. I installed the 2.6.29-5 mainline generic kernel and I messed-up my system somehow. I think it must have been while I was trying to roll-back my x installation. In any case, my xorg.log says that my radeon driver is failing to open DRM. Now my system is showing symptoms sounding very similar to those of Sir Romanov. It's very sluggish, even window scrolling in Firefox is choppy - and forget watching a video, even in a little screen (streamed). My temps are up, and xorg is using a lot of processor time (10 - 20% with only a couple of windows open). If I try to stream a video, the system will become so sluggish that the desktop will slow to a stop, with little or no input accepted or output given - even the plasma cpu monitor will freeze and the graphical volume slider will refuse to work. This is completely unlike my experience of the system freezing to black, which happens suddenly, unexpectedly, and without apparent change in system temp. If you've read any of my posts, here and elsewhere, you know that I did experience symptoms similar to what I'm experiencing now, ie. freezing of a program with a rapid rise in temperature and a return to normality when the offending program is terminated, but those freezing programs were uncommon on my system. I doubt it is the .29-5 kernel, since I have read of many others using this kernel without issues - but it could be, I suppose. I'll boot into another kernel and see...

[Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
@Unhban: That's been my experience. I haven't had a freeze since upgrading to the 2.6.30 kernel several weeks ago. It's unfortunate I had to find the fix outside of the Ubuntu repositories, but that seems to be consistent with the way Ubuntu has been failing to handle this bug. It took something like 2 months for this thing to even be triaged and given some priority. In the meantime, thousands of Ubuntu users have been dealing with freezes and, if the forums and Twitter are any indication, a lot of people have left Ubuntu for other distros as a direct result of this bug. Once I can clear out a few days, I'll probably jump to Debian after 2.5 years of being a happy Kubuntu user. -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I did fresh install 9.04, and update after installing nvidia drivers. And don`t have freezes anymore(4 day). How, i don`t now. Before i tried upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, clean install, new kernel, upgrade from 9.04 to Karmic and nothing help`d until now when i did clean install for the second time from the same cd as first time installation (i even used my old /home partition).

I've got an ATI Radeon 9000 RV250 card. I'm running Kubuntu 9.04, so no Compiz for me (since a lot of people seem to think that is the problem). @ Chem. Imbalance: I'm leaning toward switching to Debian, too. I've been a Kubuntu for about 2.5 years now but this bug (and lack of acknowledgement or resolution) has really soured my support for Ubuntu. I've lost way too much time dealing with reboots and lost data as a result when I should have been working on the projects I get paid to perform. -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Manoj I will try the mainline kernel (the .30) and let you know. If it fails (when) I will report back here and install your .28 kernel and see how that does. If there is a change in your plan, or if you want anything more from me, let me know. Keep in mind though that I am still fairly new to linux and pretty much ignorant when it comes to the terminal. So far today I have not had a freeze. MB:ASUS M3A78-EM AM2+/AM2 780G HDMI, Proc: Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane 2.6 GHz 2x512KB L2 Cache, Graph: Int. ATI Radeon HD 3200, Aud: Int.

[Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
I am beginning to believe this an overclock or a over heating issue. My system(s) are identical images. I have a Phenom 940 Black that has run stable for 4 months. When a customer defaulted on a 955 Phenom chassis with the same specs (except the 955) I kept it and imaged the 940 to the same exact drive on the 955 Both ran great for 1 month. Then I got into overclocking. The 955 has handled everything I have thrown at it and as never frozen. It also maintains a very good core temp of 44 Since an Update Manager update one week ago, the 940 has done nothing but freeze and/or reboot with no discernible pattern. It could happen in 45 minutes, 4 hours or 10 hours. It could happen with only term running 20 apps running or nothing at all sitting completely idle. Until today. I turned off the overclock on this 940 and have seen stable system again. My core temp with the over clock on was a wierd one. Using gKrellM I would see core 1 and 3 at 41-42 but core 2 at 51-53. Overclock off now I see all core temps at 39-40 The only other thing I can add to this is that I am getting the gdm_slave_xioerror_handler in Xorg after a freeze/reboot. And that since that same update a week ago, on both machines, neither monitors go into a dark mode with inactivity like they used to. I am running kernel: 2.6.29.4-candela #1 SMP Tue May 26 22:26:20 CDT 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux I stay completely updated.

I've tried many of those kernels from mainline (last in date 2.6.30) and they all prove buggy.

Re: [Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
@Manoj, My system does not freeze as such, but it becomes quickly very very slow until it finally freezes if I keep running heavy applications (heavy = mplayer in full screen...). My video card is: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) (as already mentioned, the problem got even worse with the last driver versions, e.g. 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9 or currently: 2:2.7.99.901+git20090615.3da549f5-0ubuntu0sarvatt~jaunty) When the problem occurs (perceptibly at least it, when the system slows down), the first symptoms appear in the dmesg as: CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 15000 nsec CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 22500 nsec at this point, everything is so slow I have to hard reboot.

[Bug 355155] Re: Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty
Same thing is happening to me ever since I upgraded my notebook to jaunty. Interestingly it doesn't happen on my desktop where I'm still running a 2.6.27-14 kernel because I can't get the nvidia drivers running on a newer kernel by dkms, but that's a different story... Symptoms on my notebook (kernel 2.6.28-11 / intel video card): System freezes about three to four times a day. Keyboard isn't responding anymore. Neither switching to consoles possible, nor killing X by CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, nor SYSREQ-EISUB ... Mouse pointer can still be moved(!) so picture is not entirely frozen, but clicking shows no effect. Login by ssh is still working, but killing X, or restarting kdm doesn't change anything on the screen. When I shut down the system, the frozen screen stays on till the machine actually reboots. So there is no shutdown message, or the typical progress bar when shutting down. For me it seems like an problem with the graphics driver, because I still can use ssh and work on the machine. I would love to see this bug resolved very fast because it's bothering me quite much. If you need further information, it would be a pleasure to provide it to you. Since I can still ssh on the machine when the local screen is frozen, I can also send the output of some commands right when it's happening.
