[Bug 718032] Re: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display
I'm seeing the same problem as well... Can anyone confirm/report whether upgrading to natty fixes the problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/718032 Title: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/718032/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 718032] Re: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display
At least in my case upgrading kernel to 2.6.37-020637rc2-generic from mainline did not do any good. Fullscreen flash still freezes allways but sound works ok. I have also tried all the /etc/adobe/ and export env-variable stuff described in other threads -- no help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/718032 Title: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/718032/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 718032] Re: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display
This bug appears to involve a freeze of Xorg, probably due to a GPU lockup in the kernel drm code, in a version of Ubuntu before natty (or we couldn't determine the version from the report). The X team has been investigating GPU lockups in Intel's video driver during the natty development cycle. Many of these issues are now either resolved or at least well understood. There are also better tools for capturing and diagnosing these problems, but these tools are either unavailable or incomplete in older versions of ubuntu, so debugging this issue on pre-natty versions is unlikely to be productive. We're closing out the bug report for this reason. However, you may not yet be ready to upgrade to natty. It turned out that a large number of these freezes were solved by updates to the kernel. Thus, updating your kernel may be a workaround for you. Updated kernel packages are available a variety of places, such as: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ If you find a newer kernel fixes it, and think the fix should be backported to earlier Ubuntu versions, please file a request against the linux kernel in Ubuntu, indicating the broken and the fixed kernel versions. If it does not fix it, and you do not wish to upgrade to natty, please follow up through technical support channels (e.g. http://askubuntu.com is a good place for free support for older Ubuntu versions). On the other hand, if you find after upgrading to natty and updating to latest that you still experience GPU lockups, please reproduce the problem, ssh into the frozen machine, and collect the file /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state and the output of 'dmesg dmesg.txt', and attach both to a new bug report. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/718032 Title: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 718032] Re: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display
I experimented to check the situation in more detail and made the following observations: Test: Xubuntu running live from the CD-rom. Result: Flash runs well in full-screen. Test: Installing the original (at releas of Ubuntu 10.10) Flash player. Result: Full-screen Flash video works sometimes / but sometimes a restart of Firefox is required to make it work. Test: Switching of compiz (no effects). Result: Full-screen Flash video seem to work reliable. So there are several players involved: - intel-driver (that has reported problems) - flash-player (that potentialy uses cababilities that the driver does not provide reliably) - compiz (again, potentialy uses broken cababilities of the intel driver) @Pedro Corde Real: Could you check if Flash-full-screen video works if you disable compiz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/718032 Title: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 718032] Re: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display
I'm not running compiz at all so this bug applies without it. The way the problem is most easily triggered is by trying to change virtual desktop when flash is already fullscreen. That seems to lock the screen contents and I haven't been able to recover from it without killing X. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/718032 Title: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 718032] Re: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display
I have exactly the same problem with Ubuntu 10.10 and Firefox - all updates included. This is a Samsung Notebook with intel Centrino and i915 hardware. The problem appears with fullscreen Flash videos: Screen is not updated anymore, anything else seems to work (sound, Esc). The strange thing is that on a fresh install (Oktober 2010) the problem did not always appear. But recently this issue appears always. Maybe this is related to recent updates of Flash or intel-drivers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/718032 Title: Flash fullscreen mode can cause X to freeze the display -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
