Hello David Henningsson,

Did you use the kernel from this ppa:
http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/37 ?

2010-08-25 Thread Thomas Antepoth
Thanks David.

Due to your hint using the ppa-Kernel I went off to install this one:

r...@sofa:/var/log# uname -a
Linux sofa 2.6.35-18-generic #24~lucid1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 23 04:49:33 UTC 2010 
x86_64 GNU/Linux
r...@sofa:/var/log#

Overall scrolling performance feels somewhat improved and the first link
did not lock up my machine which it did quite reliable before installing
the 2.6.35.

The second link provided did also not lock up the machine but while
building up the page in the browser there were some interruptions in
screen updates (e.g. clock seconds did not advance, mouse pointer froze
for several seconds, rendering stopped amidst the picture).

In order to install that kernel I had to set:

r...@sofa:/etc/default# grep nomodeset grub 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset"
r...@sofa:/etc/default#

to avoid a EDID checksum error and to prevent the screen resolution
being throttled to 1376x768

2010-08-24 Thread David Henningsson
So I'm coming from the duplicate, and just wanted to say, I have been
running the maverick backport kernel (2.6.35-generic) from the kernel
ppa for a week now and that *seems* to have solved it for me. It
happened quite irregular though, so trying to do a git bisect would
probably take a few months or so...

Anyway, Andy, if you want me to do something, you know where to find me.

2010-08-24 Thread Michael B. Trausch
Just a warning to everyone: comment #19 link is pop-uppy and stuff.

Thomas, can you in the future post warnings to that effect when you post
on a bug report or in any other sort of forum where it is generally
expected that Web links are clean and respectful?  That does means
disabling ad blocking and pop-up blocking stuff (at least down to the
normal level of a off-the-shelf Web browser configuration) before
checking the link, which is a downside if you normally run with all that
sort of stuff in your browser.  You can create a secondary Firefox
profile that you could use for that purpose with relative ease.  That
way when those of us who use "just a browser" we don't have to try to
click out of pop-ins and pop-outs and all sorts of other crud.  Thanks!

2010-07-14 Thread Andy Whitcroft
@Michael -- the Lucid kernel actually has the DRM sub-system from
v2.6.33 backported into it.  Therefore we would need to compare against
v2.6.33.y stable releases to see if it is an ubuntu specific patch or
just the v2.6.33 DRM which is at fault.  Would you be able to test the
latest v2.6.33.y kernel from the mainline kernel archive and report back
here.  Thanks.

I have not experienced this problem running upstream kernels since my
last comment on April 23, so it seems to definitely be some issue with
the Ubuntu kernel.  Tomorrow, I will try to see if I can isolate a means
to reliably trigger the problem as an aid to bisection.

Are you suggesting that "crash" means something in the world of X than
it does in the rest of software development?  I am confused here.
Doubly confused since the problem appears to be in the kernel and not
X.org.

I've been running a vanilla kernel for two days now and have not
experienced this problem, so it seems to be something in the Ubuntu
kernel causing the problem.  I have not removed Plymouth or changed the
Ubuntu system in any way other than using the 2.6.32-02063211-generic
kernel that is packaged and available from the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Michael, you're welcome to use whatever terminology makes you happy, but
understand that the terminology 'freeze' and 'crash' have specific,
different meanings with X.org upstream.  The practicality of it to you
is that each has a different method for analysis/troubleshooting so when

As I noted in the dupe bug, removing plymouth fixes the problem. Of
course, that's not a good solution, but maybe it will provide a clue as
to what's happening. If anyone wants to test that out, get mountall
package from https://launchpad.net/~dtl131/+archive/mediahacks and then
you should be able to remove plymouth packages (except libplymouth2,
which is okay to keep).

Hi Michael,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would 
be great.  It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.  
Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .  Once you've tested the 
upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag.  This can be 
done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the 
bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.  
Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

[Bug 568605] Re: ATI radeon KMS driver - gpu lockup

2010-04-22 Thread Michael B. Trausch
I'm using the word "crash" in the sense that a computer system that has
ceased to operate correctly is said to have crashed, at least insofar as
all the developers I am aware of have used it (including myself).  In
this case, my meaning should be quite clear:  The graphics driver
encounters a condition which it cannot rectify and ceases to correctly
function with the violent consequence of having to reboot the system
without saving any data.  I suspect that if the GPU locked up, I would
not even be able to see the dmesg output when I switch to the VT,
because the GPU would be unable to execute further instructions to draw
(and further, if that were the case, it would probably act like my
system with the NVIDIA chipset, where the GPU locking up causes the
kernel to subsequently lock up, making even the magic sysrq key fail to
work, thus requiring a reset or power-cycle to get back up and running).

Software can and does crash without detecting that it crashed.

As an aside, things are so far so good running:

 Linux fennel 2.6.32-02063211-generic #02063211 SMP Mon Apr 12 12:03:56
UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

>From the mainline packages.  I'll comment back in several hours if it
hasn't yet crashed.

The only thing that I know is that there is no single activity that
occurs before it crashes; sometimes, it will crash just sitting still,
without having moved the mouse or switched windows or any of that.
Compiz is running on this system (the only aspect that I have tailored
of the UI is which fonts I use, not the effects or the extensiveness of
them).
