Brian, do you have any idea why Fedora 13 (current kernel 2.6.34.6-54) is not affected by this bug? I have been wondering for some times now, why i855 notebooks were incompatible with 9.10, 10.04, 10.10, unless doing some workaround, but installed fine on Fedora 13 (I haven't tried any previous release).

Re: [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
Thanks Brian: I'm one of those with an 855 Intel chipset. I tried out your system patch on a completely clean 10.04 install. Though the dots animation screen proior to the login screen is not visible, log in proceeds perfectly. Only problem is my Compiz graphics have been reduced to the Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 range where video playing in media player of VLC does not track window dragging until the window is released. Additionally, Windows-E does not resize the video playing in the window. This means I'm back to playing one video at a time as the video playback is locked to a hard screen region, not to a logical screen region. Additionally the sleep problem fixed with 10.04 has reverted back to 9.04. If I close and reopen the lid while the system is running, the system locks. Regressing my system by 6 to 12 months is not the way to go. Sorry. I should mention that aside from the sleep problem, I have full 3D compiz graphics with no glitches in the default install of 9.10 I'm still running as my main system on the same Dell x300 laptop. Thanks for the effort. Hope this helps. Now about the rumors.. is this maybe a problem in Intel's driver supporting my older hardware, and are they doing any work? I think I've noticed at least one Intel driver come down the pike so far.. Ahimsa As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields. -Leo Tolstoy -Jess E.

Re: [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
@Alban I am sorry to hear you are disappointed. All I can say is that I know there are a lot of people working hard to fix bugs and solve problems and that a 6-month release cycle is putting a heavy burden and a lot of strain on the developers. What I do with new versions of any sofware I have been using since 1975 is not use the x.0 version for production but wait for a x.1 release, and in the meantime try to help as much as I can to solve issues with the x.0 version. Regards 2010/5/8 Alban s...@paradoxal.org I want to say a big thank you to all who sends me private message with happiness that their pc work again with my method. I would like to emphasized that the way was manage the various bug related to the intel graphics card is absolutely deplorable and lamentable. It's amazing that no official fix resolution method is available, only a dark page on a wiki that gives advice for power user like to enable the KMS (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes). Everywhere I see the news of ubuntu and I read that Ubuntu is pleased to have done a major release without a problem... It's a shame. Leaving users without specific knowledge in the most total blackout, at the time of ubuntu becomes large public and affecting more and more ordinary users, is a testament to the incredible voluntary of not show this problem to the public. For fear of losing users? I do not know, I just know that me, normal user, I drop ubuntu because I am ashamed, ashamed to work on a platform that lets its users with a black screen. I'm going back to Debian, really stable distribution, with people works seriously when we report a bug, and now I will point to as many people around me that I converted to ubuntu not to use it and I suggest them to use Debian right now. Ubuntu makes me pity. I just want to add this, English is not my language and not very good in with it. This is with a big pain and difficulty I wrote here and try to tell you my idea, help people with my little possibility. No more pain now...

Re: [Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)
I tried your procedure and it worked. Great. Thank you very much. 2010/5/1 Elena M. Lopez (Nena) lopez.apcl...@gmail.com @pvanderploeg, I have the same issue with my D400 with the same graphics card. I just tried the workaround listed in posts #33 and #34 in the following thread, and it worked for me ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1465883page=4). Basically, what I did was as follows: Step 1: When booting into the live CD, I pressed Tab, and added the i915.modeset=1 option to the boot command line. Refer to thread/post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9203466postcount=33 Step 2: I installed Lucid with no problems, but when restarted, I of course ran into the same boot issue. So, I needed to make the changes in step 1 permanent. Step 3: I restarted into the live environment again (as in step 1), mounted my local root partition, and as root, did two things in the /etc/ directory. a) permanently added i915 modeset=1 (w/o quotes) to the grub configuration file (/etc/default/grub). Refer to thread/post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9171045postcount=11 (as redirected from http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9203466postcount=34) b)created the configuration file /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf and added the line options i915 modeset=1 (w/o quotes) according to the first workaround listed in this thread: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes And it now everything works. Finally. And life is good again. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me through launchpad. Although I am not an expert, I can at least explain what worked for me, although I couldn't tell you why. :) ~Elena -- MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541511 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.

It's escape, not shift. And you only need to do this if your GRUB automatically goes right into the OS. If you successfully are at the GRUB menu, select the second line, recovery mode rather than the normal boot and select failsafe graphics mode from the menu which eventually appears. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/show-the-grub-menu-by-default- on-ubuntu/ Ahimsa As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields. -Leo Tolstoy -Jess E.

xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu2~gomyhr1~clipsolids in my
standard PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gomyhr/+archive/standard) should be
functionally equivalent to 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu2, since I put it up to test
that patch. Don't count on it staying there, since I will replace it
whenever I need something else tested.
Thanks for that!
Kernel 2.6.32-21-generic:
- Confirmed works if 'startx' is done manually.
- with 'text' on the kernel command line and then gdm is manually
('start gdm') started after logging in as root
Kernel 2.6.32-19-generic:
- causes plymouth to crash. gdm manually started is NOT successfull.
X does not work either.
Kernel 2.6.32-18-generic:
- as with 2.6.32-19-generic
Cheers,
Anand

Anyway the i855GM issues have just been radically fixed by Daniel Vetter,
you can find the patch and the complete kernel
sources archive here:http://www.iragan.com/linux/i855GM/;
I took a look over the patches; whilst there is a radical re-working
of things - what is interesting is seeing what was shipped
(supposedly, this is from the comment and not verified) in Fedora 13.
They have a 2 line patch.

This patch prevents instantaneous crashes when starting Xorg.

It is the kernel that needs an alternative version, changing xorg will
not fix this. It's not too hard to compile, and I would already have
done this if I had a i386 installation of Lucid available.
It may be worthwhile asking the kernel guys about incorporating this
into the kernel. I am compiling 2.6.32-21-generic to test this out to
see if it works for me. I'll report back in a few hours.

We have opted for a stability first approach for these users. We will disable 3D and KMS for these chips in Lucid final release. This will have the unfortunate effect of disabling compiz. This will introduce a functional regression. So we will be sacrificing functionality for these users in favor of stability. This is a painful choice to make, but we feel that stability must trump functionality when we are forced to make such choices. We will be pursuing functional fixes. However, we will do this outside the main release, for example in a PPA.
