[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1437091] [NEW] xrandr --delmode unable to remove incorrectly detected video resolution modes

2015-03-26 Thread pureblood
Public bug reported:

I own an HP LP3065 monitor (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KB6E3G/) with a 
BizLink displayport adapter (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003XYBA72/). The command 
sudo get-edid -b 6 | parse-edid correctly identifies the available 
resolutions of the screen as 2560x1600 and 1280x800. However, the Ubuntu system 
incorrectly identifies instead the resolutions 1024x768, 800x600, 848x480, and 
640x480 which all don't work with the monitor. While I have to add manually the 
correct resolutions with xrandr using the command xrandr --newmode 2560x1600 
268.00 2560 2608 2640 2720 1600 1603 1609 1646 -hsync +vsync  xrandr 
--addmode DP1 2560x1600, I occasionally have the system attempting to use the 
1024x768 resolution leading to an empty black screen. One potential solution 
would be to remove the rogue resolutions so that they could not be 
automatically chosen. I tried the command xrandr --delmode DP1 1024x768 but 
this is to no avail with the following output:
X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource 
denied)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (RRDeleteOutputMode)
  Serial number of failed request:  42
  Current serial number in output stream:  43
My understanding is that the system thinks to know better than the user and 
disallows from removing native resolutions. However, it is clear that the 
system is not designed well enough to know what the correct native resolutions 
are. This is tremendously frustrating and ultimately it is combination of a bug 
in properly detecting the native resolutions (gone unfixed for the last five 
years) and a flawed design assuming detected resolutions would never need to be 
removed. I am at a loss with regard who to and where to file this bug. I would 
be tremendously grateful to anybody who could provide some directions.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1314213] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad X220] External DP1 monitor extremely unstable since upgrade to 14.04

2014-07-04 Thread pureblood
I guess it is way to late for me to figure that out now. However, you
might try to run your computer from a USB pen, installing Ubuntu 14.04
with unetbootin and then see what behavior you get. That is what I did
and made me realize that the problem likely relied in some settings.
Maybe try removing the .compiz directory? If you figure out which one it
is, let me know.

Also, the behavior I have now is slightly different from the behavior I
had with Ubuntu 13.10. Before I would add the resolution with xrandr and
then change display again with xrandr. Now, instead, as soon as I add
the resolution with xrandr the display changes automatically. I believe
that Unity 14.04 responds automatically to some changes, while Unity
13.10 did not, and for some reasons this was leading to the crashes
before.

I have also noticed that my laptop used to run some dbus program after
boot that would make the hard drive spin for several minutes before
coming to a rest. Since I deleted all my configuration files, that is
not happening anymore. Overall, the update from 13.10 to 14.04 was the
worst Ubuntu update I have ever experienced (I also had experienced
this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/449680/upgrading-
from-13-10-to-14-04-broke-grub).

2014-07-03 Thread pureblood
For some weird reasons, by deleting all configuration files in my home
directory, the behavior reverted to what it was with Ubuntu 13.10. I
cannot reproduce the crash anymore. I still need to add the correct
resolution with xrandr as it is not detected correctly. Somehow there is
a lurking bug in i915, but this must have been triggered by some weird
settings I had in Unity. This is my best guess.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1314213] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad X220] External DP1 monitor extremely unstable since upgrade to 14.04

2014-05-16 Thread pureblood
I have some new information. Apparently, I tried a different external
monitor with the displayport and the same 2560x1600 resolution and the
laptop worked just fine. I can run xrandr or unity-control-center while
the monitor is connected and there are no issues.

The monitor that does not work correctly has a display port-dvi adapter
and the resolution is not detected correctly. Because of that, I
manually add the resolution each time the computer boots with the
following command:

xrandr --newmode 2560x1600 268.00 2560 2608 2640 2720 1600 1603 1609
1646 -hsync +vsync; xrandr --addmode DP1 2560x1600; xrandr --newmode
1280x800 71.00 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 803 809 823 -hsync +vsync; xrandr
--addmode DP1 1280x800

And then I set the output to the monitor with the following command:

xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output VGA1 --off --output HDMI1 --off
--output DP1 --mode 2560x1600

Therefore it is likely that this is a bug related to the display
port-dvi adapter.

 If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in

 Please note, given that the information from the prior release is

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

2012-06-24 Thread pureblood
Provided that it is likely that people in this forum are affected by different 
bugs, I will share my own experience. I have been using in the last weeks 
kernel 3.4.1 (available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) on a 
Dell Vostro V131 with Sandy Bridge and HD 3000. With the following default 
kernel parameters (/etc/default/grub):
1) quiet splash pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1
the system hangs (no mouse movements, no SysRq, no shh) within ~12 hours of 
operation. Changing to:
2) quiet splash pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=0
the system hangs within ~12 hours of operation. Changing to:
3) quiet splash pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=0 i915.i915_enable_fbc=0
The system does not hang anymore even after several days of operation. It does 
seem like the combination of i915.i915_enable_rc6=0 and i915.i915_enable_fbc=0 
completely fixes the issue for me.

Here is the current output of for file in /sys/module/i915/parameters/*; do 
echo -en $file\t; sudo cat $file; done:
/sys/module/i915/parameters/enable_hangcheckY
/sys/module/i915/parameters/fbpercrtc   0
/sys/module/i915/parameters/i915_enable_fbc 0
/sys/module/i915/parameters/i915_enable_ppgtt   -1
/sys/module/i915/parameters/i915_enable_rc6 0
/sys/module/i915/parameters/lvds_downclock  0
/sys/module/i915/parameters/lvds_use_ssc-1
/sys/module/i915/parameters/modeset -1
/sys/module/i915/parameters/panel_ignore_lid0
/sys/module/i915/parameters/powersave   1
/sys/module/i915/parameters/reset   Y
/sys/module/i915/parameters/semaphores  -1
/sys/module/i915/parameters/vbt_sdvo_panel_type -1
It seems a plausible explanation is that there is something from the i915 
driver triggering a GPU hang not correctly resolved. Could it be that this has 
to do with overheating and so it cannot be boiled down to a specific piece of 
code? I would be curios to see and hear if other people get it fixed with the 
same kernel parameters.

I want to mention that after following the suggestion at #274
(i915.i915_enable_rc6=0) and #280 (i915.i915_enable_fbc=0), my Dell

before I used to get 2-3 crashes a day. I am not sure at this point what
exactly is making a difference (it could have been an update for what I
know). I promise I will try to revert the settings and pinpoint what is
fixing it for me. But reporting it now to let other people know that
there is hope.

2012-06-02 Thread pureblood
Since the bug many people are experiencing is related to hard freezes
where you *cannot* move the mouse anymore or ssh the machine, maybe a
new bug should be opened with these directions in the title, and then
people should be directed from this thread to that thread instead. I
confirm that I am still experiencing this issue with kernel
3.4.0-030400-generic, that there is no obvious trigger (most of the
times it happens while the computer is on at night or while I am at work
and nobody is using it), that it happened with KDE as well as Unity. I
have a new Vostro V131 which, I believe, is a Sandy bridge(?). Are most
of the people with *this* version of the bug running Intel systems with
integrated graphic card? I would like to understand what we have in
common. It would be a first step.

I have to agree with yorgasor #20. There are two different bugs here. I

by running google-earth and zooming into something. The X server would
lock, but I could still move the mouse. Using the sudo intel_reg_write
0x2120 '0x1206800' fixes that bug for me, I can zoom fine with google-
earth and the X server does not lock up anymore.

But then I have also this other problem, that approximately every six
hours the whole machine freezes. The keyboard doesn't respond, the mouse
doesn't move, SysRq doesn't respond, and after a while I can hear the
hard drive doesn't spin anymore, that is, the machine becomes very
quiet. No logs get produced. I am at odds here. Downgrading the kernel
doesn't fix it. Upgrading the kernel doesn't fix it. Downgrading the X
server doesn't fix it. It all started after upgrading to Ubuntu Precise,
but I am starting to weight the odds that this might be a hardware
problem rather than a software problem.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently

2012-05-29 Thread pureblood
I confirm that I have had the same problem since I upgraded to Ubuntu
Precise. The freezes I experience are completely random, sudden, and
there is nothing I can do. I tried upgrading to 3.4.0 and I still
experienced freezes. I tried downgrading to 3.0.0 and I still experience
freezes. I have just now downgraded Xorg to 1.10.4 to see if this solves
anything. When the machine freezes, somewhat more often than once a day,
nothing works, keyboard does not respond, mouse doesn't move, SysRq does
not work, and I cannot ssh to the machine. Even the fan kind of goes
down (maybe because nothing is happening), but I can usually see the
screen at the time of the freezing (even if the powersaving was active).
No logs whatsoever get generated. If I didn't stumble into this post, I
would have guessed something must have broken on my new laptop right at
the same time I upgraded to Ubuntu Precise. I have a Dell Vostro V131
with shared graphic card using the i915 driver. Unfortunately, I have no
clue how to help debugging this annoying bug. In ten years I have used
Linux, this is the worst I have ever experienced. I am testing now if
the Xorg downgrading brings any luck.
