[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1012916] Re: [nouveau] 12.04 Unity 3d hard freezes
I don't know if anybody is following my story here but I noticed an xorg-edgers kernel update from 3.5.0.3.3 to 3.5.0.4.4 today so I thought I would give it a test running Unity. Note, as my previous comment I can run kernel 3.2 forever without issue. So I upgraded and rebooted to 3.5.0.4.4 and I still see PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR nouveau errors but this time my system does not lock up. I don't see any UI problems. Here are the dmesg logs: [ 6392.463172] [drm] nouveau :01:00.0: PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR - Ch 4/0 Mthd 0x0060 Data 0x800f [ 6610.102638] [drm] nouveau :01:00.0: PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR - Ch 4/0 Mthd 0x0060 Data 0x800f [ 6625.011826] [drm] nouveau :01:00.0: PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR - Ch 4/0 Mthd 0x0060 Data 0x800f So kernel 3.5.0.4.4 has improved things, but there still seems a problem there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012916 Title: [nouveau] 12.04 Unity 3d hard freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1012916/+subscriptions ___ 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 1012916] Re: [nouveau] 12.04 Unity 3d hard freezes
Well I have determined that for me this problem is caused by linux kernel 3.5.0-3 (pulled in via linux-image-generic) which was installed on my system via xorg-edgers ppa. I removed this and went back to the generic precise kernel which is currently 3.2.0-26 and my lockups have gone. I am still using xorg-edgers ppa, just back-graded that kernel version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012916 Title: [nouveau] 12.04 Unity 3d hard freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1012916/+subscriptions ___ 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 1012916] Re: [nouveau] 12.04 Unity 3d hard freezes
Well this just happened again to me with same PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR nouveau errors in dmesg. Although this time it happened on gnome-shell, which is my normal desktop where I have never seen this before. I have only had this happen on those rare times I try Unity. I had updated earlier today and noticed my kernel went from linux-image-generic-pae = 3.5.0.2.2 - 3.5.0.3.3 and xserver-xorg-video-nouveau = 1.0.1+git20120628.0d2b414a-0ubuntu0sarvatt~precise - 1.0.1+git20120702 .0d2b414a-0ubuntu0sarvatt~precise. At least we now know it is not specific to Compiz/Unity. Looks like a kernel and/or nouveau issue. Skype was running and I had music playing (via guayadeque) which I think has been true every other time this has happened. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012916 Title: [nouveau] 12.04 Unity 3d hard freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1012916/+subscriptions ___ 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

So I decided to use Unity for a while. Locked up twice within 10 mins, second time without skype 4 running so not skype related.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1012916] Re: [nouveau] 12.04 Unity 3d hard freezes
Further to my comment #7 above, I noticed an xorg-core update today so I tried Unity for a while but it locked up within 30 mins. System died over about 20 secs, i.e. my mouse became sluggish then after about 10 secs it stopped moving completely. Music player stopped a few secs after that and all UI was frozen. I found I could log in remotely via ssh from my laptop and found skype (v4) at the top of the run queue. Killed it (using default kill TERM) but system remained frozen.

[32.520] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Closed GPU channel 2 [32.540] ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log [32.540] Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. and then the system comes up ok logging in Xorg.0.log. So I lose the real previous log file. Even though this happens, there is no abnormal screen glitch noticeable to me as the system comes up. Hope all this makes sense and I hope posting this here is appropriate even though I am using xorg-edgers ppa? Looks like an xorg/nouveau bug - but may be something brought on by skype 4?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1012916] Re: [nouveau] 12.04 Unity 3d hard freezes
@brigham, I have used nvidia drivers with my system (8600 GT) for a few years without problems but since ubuntu 12.04 (i.e. nvidia v295.33, v295.40, v295.49, v295.53, v302.07, v302.11, v302.17?), I suffer an xorg segmentation fault within a hour or two of booting when using nvidia driver (and that is tried with all these versions with and without xorg- edgers ppa enabled). See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/973096. Hence that is why I am now running nouveau. Note I have run nouveau with Unity 3D fine since 12.04 release except only recently when these nouveau lockups started (could be around the release of skype 4, or that new xorg-edgers ppa kernel?). Also, note I mainly use Gnome Shell (all day every day) and have never seen this freeze or any other problems. Gnome Shell is a 3D desktop also so seems Compiz + nouveau related? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012916 Title: [nouveau] 12.04 Unity 3d hard freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1012916/+subscriptions ___ 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 1012916] Re: [nouveau] 12.04 Unity 3d hard freezes
I'm using nouveau from xorg-edgers ppa on 12.04 and I think I am having this same bug just recently. My Unity 3D session will hang anywhere from 1 minute to a few hours after I boot. Sometimes the entire UI locks up, other times the UI locks up but my mouse cursor will still move (but can't select anything). I can not select an alternate console via ctrl+alt+f1 etc. Note I mainly use gnome shell and I have never seen this problem there, only in Unity 3D which I occasionally try out to see where it is at. This bug essentially stops me from using Unity atm.
