[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1577074] Re: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU

[Christopher M. Penalver]

Alberto Salvia Novella, thanks for attending to this report. To advise,
assigning an importance doesn't hide anything.

Also, this bug has no logs from the original reporter, so it's largely
useless for developers to do anything with.

@ Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch)

Notice that by changing priority to "low" you hid this critical bug for
4 months.

Setting status to "incomplete" would be enough for signalising this bug
doesn't require further revision for the moment.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1577074] Re: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU

[Patrick Laurin]

I'm installing fresh Ubuntu 16.04, I will be trying the latest kernel
4.9 rc-6 to see if this is fixed.

I have a AMD A10-8700P Radeon R6, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G × 4.

I can see there are a whole lot of AMDGPU commits in upcoming linux-
next. Maybe kernel 4.10 will finally solve this important issue.

I have to give thumb down on the Low 'Importance' of this bug. I do feel
like complaining but understand that AMDGPU has really great performance
for 2D acceleration and that's what I need. (catalyst has really poor 2D
acceleration and makes my day to day work experience really laggy).

Can't wait for this to be fixed :-)

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1577074] Re: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU

[Tamás Tóth]

Same thing happens on Arch Linux, too, there's a dumb workaround: if you
add modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu to the kernel line during boot, there
won't be a problem with the faulty amdgpu driver :D

you can use the vesa driver without any HW acceleration (HTML5 vids seem
to play okay-ish) but not even the lowest resolution of downloaded
movies via VLC..

next step for me was to try out 14.04, yes it supports fglrx and yes you
can install it with a click of a button, but still it's not Arch, so the
next day I came home from work I managed to get it to work on Arch
(first time in my life)

Home sweet home

Now I suffer from random ALT CTRL and SHIFT keystrokes ( I guess they
would have appeared in Ubuntu also, since it's usually using an older
kernel than Arch.

Anyways, I think I'll stick with the fglrx driver until I read some
promising news on R6 Carrizo APU... xD

Daniel Quiñones, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with Ubuntu 
by ensuring you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the 
Yes button for attaching additional debugging information running the following 
from a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Also, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

[jakedp]

I have some further information. Shutting off the driver power
management with amdgpu.runpm=0 does not work. nomodset just puts my
screen in a low resolution and cannot change resolutions. I' am using
KDE Neon 5.7.3 as I do not like Unity but it is still stock Ubuntu 16.04
with the desktop switched out. So what I do now is have my BIOS sit
there for 10 seconds before loading GRUB. When the Plymouth boot screen
comes up I do a soft reboot after a second or two. I do this again. The
third boot it seems the APU is warm enough and no random black screens.

[Timo Aaltonen]

scratch that, 8700P has not been certified.

You probably should try running newer mainline kernel builds to see if
they work better, and do a rough bisect to see where it got fixed:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

The amdgpu driver on 16.04 kernel is essentially backported from 4.5, so
start with 4.7 and if it works, try 4.6 etc.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1577074] Re: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU

[jakedp]

With Linux Mint 18 and KDE Neon the bug changes from random to boot up. It
happens the first time from a cold boot. After a restart, which means
screwing up my hard drive and holding the power button. Then turning it on
and the black screen comes back.

I' am very fustrated like Brian. Canonical doesn' t need AMD to repackage
the driver for the new X Server. Abandoned by AMD and the commercial
distros. Do not advocate AMD, they must have known this problem and ignored
it.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1577074] Re: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU

[Brian]

OK, I tried the "amdgpu.runpm=0" solution with the Ubuntu 16.04 LiveUSB
and while it booted in high graphics mode, I still got the black screen
after a few minutes.

Christopher, I have done as you asked in Comment #15 on this thread, and
the bug report I filed is at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+filebug/34a9fa5a-
51e8-11e6-8b1c-68b5996a96c8?

However I don't know how this will do any good, as I'm running Ubuntu
15.10, not 16.04 where the problem occurs. I wish AMD or Canonical or
whoever is responsible for the decision to make fglrx unavailable in
16.04 would reconsider and provide for a smoother transition by allowing
users with graphics cards that are still unsupported by amdgpu to "opt-
in" to fglrx until AMD works out the all the kinks. It's as if they just
don't care about end users whatsoever. Man, am I frustrated!

Brian, it would be helpful to track your issue and hardware, if you filed a new 
report with Ubuntu by ensuring you have the package xdiagnose installed, and 
that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information 
running the following from a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Also, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1577074] Re: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU

[Brian]

This bug affects me on Ubuntu 16.04, but not on 15.10 where the fglrx
drivers are still available. I have the graphics card A10-8700P APU
"Carrizo" on my HP ProBook 455 G3 laptop. Like Joshua above, but only on
16.04, I can only get past the black screen if I boot into low-graphics
mode with the nomodeset parameter.

However, in my web search regarding this issue, I found a recommendation
at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117591 Comment #7, to
append "amdgpu.runpm=0" to the kernel command line in Grub setparams.
I'm going to try that with the Ubuntu 16.04 LiveUSB and report back.

This bug affects me on Ubuntu 14.04, 15.10, 16.04, and Arch Linux. I too
have the same AMD chip, A10-8700p, on an HP 17-g121wm. I can only get
past the black screen if I boot into low-graphics mode with the
nomodeset parameter.

I have scoured countless online resources looking for a solution to this
problem. I hope someone knowledgeable and able to do something about it
takes notice of this page and works on the bug.

I get a simliar issue to you on my A10-8780P, although on 16.04 I can't
even get it to boot without nomodeset as the blackscreen is as far as it
gets. Not even sure to know where to begin getting more info on that

It does seem to work with the fglrx driver on 14.04 (although even then I had 
to boot using nomodeset before installing the fglrx driver as I had a similar 
black screen issue there)

Are these issues related?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1577074] Re: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU

[nukedathlonman]

I'm sure it will - the kernel in every release receives periodic
updates.  But 4.6 is only a "candidate release" - a technical preview if
you will while bugs and such are fully baked out of the pie for final
release.  You'll see one of the 4.5 kernels first - hopefully with a
fix, but it's also possible that a fix might not get backported.  We
know there was a change, but what the change hasn't been pin pointed
exactly - makes it a bit harder for the Dev/packager to backport a fix
since the exact issue with the driver wasn't pinned down.  Then again, I
suppose they could just backport the whole driver from 4.6g, but that
might lead into other bug's or issues...  I'm sure they'll try to figure
it out.

Aside - I don't have random black screens on the Windows 10 side.  I do
have (multiple) other AMD graphics drivers problems on that side
though...  But let's not continue this discussion - this is supposed to
be a bug report and I'm sure the packagers/maintainers/Dev's would
rather see discussions relevant to the filed bug.

I have the broadcom wireless which is the bane of my existence. Linux Mint
17.3 is having no issues. So far it is certain versions of radeon and the
amdgpu of 4.3-4.5. It is good to know that it seems to be fixed. Hopefully
the fixes will be backported into the LTS kernel. Forgot to mention this
problem is happening on Win10.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1577074] Re: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU

[nukedathlonman]

I was using the closed fglrx (a.k.a. Crimson 15.12) on Kubuntu 15.10
(the latest updates from the regular repository - not the ones form the
various PPA's) and that worked fine for me.  For 16.04 Wily, the kernel
packages from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v4.6-rc6-wily have newer open source AMDgpu kernel drivers
and those seem to work fine on the A10-8700P.  Give that Kernel (or the
newer RC7 one) a shot.

Just a note for Jakedp (it's another unrelated bug and really doesn't
apply to this bug - so this can be ignored so far as the AMDgpu bug
report) - If we have the same laptop (and I believe we do), you'll also
have the same Realtek RTL8723BE Wireless adapter - there's another bug
that might affect you regarding that driver's antenna selection...  The
fix is projected to be included in the Kernel 4.7 by the developer.  I
was hoping it might have got backported into the 4.6 release candidates
- but it hasn't.

I have the same Carrizo (A10-8700P)chip and also in a HP Pavilion.This
is also a bug that effects Fedora 23 and it seems the radeon driver on
Mageia 5. I have noticed it also on Ubuntu 15.10 and Ubuntu Mate 15.10.
It effects Korora 23 the least. It is maddening that when you buy a
laptop with a AMD processor you have been waiting for you are thrown to
the curb.0

Been investigating a wireless problem that lead me to install Kernel
4.6-RC6 from PPA - this Kernel seems to fix this bug (as haven't run
into this issue with the release candidate kernel).
