[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 159594] Re: Crash to white screen of death (possibly Firefox?)
Having watched this a couple of weeks now, I don't think it is related to Compiz. Actually, I do think it might be related to Firefox and possibly some other interfering component. I switched to Chromium quite soon after my comment above (#51) and didn't experience any more WSOD crashes since then, even after re- activating Compiz. This is somehow notable as the machine on which I was experiencing the crashes is a 'production' system being used for software development more than ten hours a day, and actually I only remember the system crashing when I was using Firefox; in some, if not all (but I am not sure about this) cases right after Firefox gained focus and I started mouse movement. This would also partially match assumptions in comment #21 and might point to some interference between Firefox, focus handling and mouse movement. -- Crash to white screen of death (possibly Firefox?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 159594] Re: Crash to white screen of death (possibly Firefox?)
This issue still seems to be present in Lucid - I experienced a number of white (or light grey) screen crashes lately. As it is rather hot here these days, at first I thought this could be related to an overheating graphics adapter (xserver-xorg-video-ati and the 2.6.32 kernel do not support power management), but I saw the system crash just yesterday after having placed an extra fan above the GPU's heatspreader, so I guess this might rather not be a hardware related issue. Currently, I am suspecting compiz to be involved in this somehow; since having deactivated it, I haven't experienced the crash again. Crashing generally rather infrequently, of course it is too early to definitely blame the issue on compiz though.. -- Crash to white screen of death (possibly Firefox?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 568988] Re: [Lucid][Ubuntu 10.04][ATI cards] Slow/freeze windows management (resize, maximise, .etc) with fglrx driver + compositing desktop.
Confirm the fix works, at least when it comes to window management - @Alf: thank you very much for providing the PPA. Yet what I am still very unhappy with is the (obvious) memory management problem (leak) mentioned in the original bug description. Having glxinfo executed regularly by a script in order to deallocate memory is a hack I'd rather not apply to my system, not because it doesn't work out (in fact, it does), but because it is not what I'd call a 'clean' solution. *sigh* This is a really annoying situation: fglrx has severe memory problems and doesn't support KMS (i.e. ugly boot screen), xserver-xorg-video-ati lacks power management and lets the GPU run hot - both are (IMHO) not usable, so back to non-compositing until one or the other (or both) get fixed properly. :| -- [Lucid][Ubuntu 10.04][ATI cards] Slow/freeze windows management (resize, maximise, .etc) with fglrx driver + compositing desktop. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568988 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 488152] Re: [RV710] With ATI restricted driver deactivated, GPU is overheating
Hm, 'acpi -t' does not display anything on my machine; however, by 'manual examination' (i.e. carefully touching the fanless cooler on the GPU) the temperature actually seems 'too hot' (in fact, it is hotter than with the proprietary fglrx driver). Are there other ways to get the actual temperature? -- [RV710] With ATI restricted driver deactivated, GPU is overheating https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488152 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
