[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 516909] Re: [clarkdale] entire desktop environment locks up in 9.10, i3-530 proc, built-in graphics

2010-04-10 Thread KeithM
Ok, I think the 2.6.32-19.28 kernel fixes the problem.

 I've run three or four days, and no crashes.  Everything looks much
better.

You can close out the bug as appropriate.

I'll post a comment on the upstream intel bug tracker too.

In relation to normal Ubuntu releases, is it expected that 10.04 LTS
final will ship with this kernel, or some other (newer?) kernel that
includes these fixes?

Thanks

Keith

It may be a little early to do the Dance of Joy
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfPg5LjGYz8) but everything seems to be
ok.

While I've had longer series of uptime w/o a crash, nothing seems to
escape the GLBLUR screensaver tests.  Let me beat on it some more, and
I'll post in a day or two.

Thanks

2010-04-01 Thread KeithM
Richard,

I've tried just about every version, including 9.04.  I've been able to
reproduce in 9.04, 100% of the time.

Do me a favor.  Can you go into the screensaver, pick GLBLUR as your
screensaver, then just pick preview and let the screensaver run.  You'll
get a hang definitely within a day.  It will probably be much faster.

Thanks

Keith

With the 10.04 release coming this month, is there any hope in sight
that this will be fixed?

I'm also watching the xorg bug site, and I don't know if a solution to
the bug has even been identified yet, let alone scheduled to be fixed.

2010-03-15 Thread KeithM
Thanks Geir.

I'm now on the specified kernel, running with the desired options.  Just
have to wait for a crash now. :)

Here's some detailed instructions:

Use this command to delete the 9238492 crash files that were generated
from the last crash that you don't need:

sudo bash
find . -name '*.crash' | xargs rm

(just doing a sudo rm -rf *.crash produces "argument list too long"
error)


Since grub2 is shipping w/ lucid, here's the new method for using a kernel 
option

You can either edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg (which is not recommended,
because this will get overwritten at certain points (like installing new
kernels))

and just add your drm.debug command

linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33-997-generic root=UUID=7097xxxb-5a4c-4bxx-
ae11-9xx52 ro drm.debug=0x02  quiet splash

OR

you can edit /etc/default/grub, add "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=drm.debug=0x02"
to the bottom of the file, and then "sudo update-grub"

This will append the drm debug command to all lines, but this can be
removed later and updated.  I'd hope that kernels that don't understand
that debug option will simply ignore it.  Although I'm not likely to be
booting those now anyways.

Thanks

still crashing with red ppa.

This crash was different, I think X restarted.  I can't be sure.  All I
know is that I was facing a login screen and /var/log/messages don't
show a reboot.

The app-collect-error-script.py or whatever its called crashed again.
Bad when the script that is supposed to report the error crashes. :)

I'm attaching crash log which automatically generated and was put into
/var/crash.

2010-03-03 Thread KeithM
Looks like I spoke to soon.  Fedora 12 is having similar problems too.

@madbiologist:  Does the driver you are speaking of need compiled first,
in order to be installed?  xf86-video-intel 2.11.0 RC1 (v2.10.901) --
found the links, but it appears to be just source?

Briefly tried compiling, didn't work, so I gave up.

Is there some other way I can get this, or install this?

Thanks

2010-02-28 Thread KeithM
madbiologist said "You must be getting frustrated."

Yeah, that's actually an understatement.

The bottom line is that I can't keep my hardware here idle all day,
doing nothing, besides doing stability tests.  I've got a brand new
machine I've built which is essentially unusable.  It's my fault for
selecting a brand new processor, integrated graphics, etc.  Bleeding
edge indeed.

I'm sure this problem will eventually get addressed, but I need to start
using this machine now.  I've already wasted too many cycles.

CentOS 5.3 and Fedora 12 seem to work fine, and I have no idea what that
tells us about the problem.

Thanks for the help & support.

I tried an apport-collect tonight, but it errored out (some index out of
range error).  Don't have time to file a bug for that too.

I've attached the .crash file.  There are ~8200 of these generated in ~5
hours, like 2-3 per second.

I updated xorg according to Brendon's post and there must have been a
(very) recent change, because .crash files are now being generated where
they weren't a little while ago.

Since I upgraded to 10.04 with the 2.6.33rc7 kernel, I've seen zero
problems until today.  (about 12 days)

My machine locked up again with X crashing.  It had crashed while one of
the screensavers were running.

This sounds similar to Phoronix's experience where they said things were
better, but still had occasional problems.

2010-02-22 Thread KeithM
Vikram,

This problem definitely exists in Lucid Lynx 10.04 Alpha2, desktop amd64
bit version, that I downloaded and tested on 2/9/10.

C:\Users\\Downloads>c:\md5sum lucid-desktop-amd64.iso
64c577165a31e761a261a2d5efa53ff8 *lucid-desktop-amd64.iso

64c577165a31e761a261a2d5efa53ff8 *lucid-desktop-amd64.iso from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/alpha-2/MD5SUMS

They have file dates of 1/13/10-1/14/10.

Is there some newer version, or has something changed since 2/9/10 ??

My understanding is that the newer kernel 2.6.33 had fixed the issue,
and since Lynx is shipping w/ 2.6.32 --- the problem could possibly be
there (and appears to be confirmed w/ my empirical testing)

Thanks

Keith

2010-02-09 Thread KeithM
Ok, so I loaded Lucid, and then upgraded the kernel to

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33-rc7/linux-
image-2.6.33-020633rc7-generic_2.6.33-020633rc7_amd64.deb

a couple points for the uninitiated like me:

1. Lucid seemed to require a cold reset to boot properly after
installation.  Warm reboots kept bringing me back to a black screen.  I
don't want to digress here, but this was my experience.

2. The grub configuration/version included with Lucid does not display a
menu for selecting the new kernel you added with the "sudo dpkg -i
*.deb" command.  It, does, however, make the new kernel the new default.
You can also hold down SHIFT key on bootup and you'll get a menu.  This
is diff from previous ubuntu versions/configs of grub.

I made an educated guess on which kernel to use, since the link Geir
provided was full of directories. (note: not blaming here, I'm the
ignorant one)  I selected the latest RC for 2.6.33, the "v2.6.33-rc7/"
directory from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=M;O=D

LONG AND SHORT:

Loading Lucid and replacing the kernel did the trick.  I haven't had a
single lockup since I've upgraded.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 516909] Re: [Clarkdale] entire desktop environment locks up in 9.10, i3-530 proc, built-in graphics

2010-02-08 Thread KeithM
just an fyi -- i fully intend on doing extra testing to provide more
info, however mother nature dumped 2+ ft of the white stuff (plus more
coming) taking my power and heat with it.  It might be another week
until I can do this. Thanks.

2010-02-06 Thread KeithM
Sam,

Thanks for your comment.

I also found that "fix", while it did fix a lockup when ubuntu first
boots up, it doesn't prevent the overall stability issues related to the
video driver/or X or whatever the problem is.  Depending on what you are
doing (normal usage), you'll eventually trigger the lockup again.
Picking a 2D or 3D screensaver seems to be a surefire way of reproducing
the problem.

Note that Centos 5.3/5.4 seems to work fine on that hardware
combo(i3+H55).  Also, Fedora 12 Desktop worked fine.  I loaded X
screensaver (don't know if that is the same as on ubuntu) but also
loaded a large number of screensavers, and Fedora seems to be fine.  I
don't know or pretend to understand all the different versions of all
the utilities enough to tell why this is.  I've almost exclusively used
Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives (like Linux Mint) --- I'm not crazy to
jump to a Redhat based release.

At the same time, this is really frustrating.  I've got a brand new
machine, _really_ am trying not to load Windows, and I have very little
options to actually use this hardware!

Thanks

Keith

I think this is bang-on-the-money for what's happening with me.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 516909] [NEW] entire desktop environment locks up in 9.10, i3-530 proc, built-in graphics

2010-02-03 Thread KeithM
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I recently built a machine, i3-530 processor, built-in graphics,
Gigabyte H55M-UD2H motherboard.

I installed ubuntu 9.10 64-bit fresh on the machine.  I started
experiencing locks within GNOME where the entire desktop environment is
frozen.  Can't move the mouse, keyboard num lock doesn't work, but the
machine is still running -- I can ping/ssh to it, etc.

Within a few minutes, a stack trace is dumped to /var/log/messages.

Easiest way to reproduce is just to enter Screensaver Preferences, and
click on anything but the "blank screen."  It happens 100% of the time.

ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-backspace: does nothing. Mouse pointer doesn't
move. Keyboard LED doesn't change. I can ssh.

ke...@newb:~$ lspci -nn | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Clarkdale 
Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0042] (rev 12)

Attached: stack trace, Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old.  All in one file
because I can't do multiple attachments.

Thanks for taking a look at this.  Forums posts from all over indicate
that a lot of people are having this issue, but perhaps with different
graphics chipsets than mine.
