then at least we'd know if it's fixed in 21.3.x ** Changed in: mesa (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1958242 Title: mesa update freeze/crash screen before login Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After updating my laptop after a long trip. It starts to bootm, then screen goes black with the mouse pointer hanging over, sddm does not start. This symptoms I saw them before and were related to mesa libraries. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1909171 for details on that. But the actual problem seems somewhat different this time. Furthermore dmesg shows: [66.441074] QSGRenderThread[1134]: segfault at 39 ip 00007f1ca6c7311b sp 00007f1c98b76630 error 4 in r300_dri.so[7f1ca660b000+10ab000] [66.441088] Code: b6 40 2d eb ef 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 f3 0f 1e fa 31 f6 e9 95 a2 f9 ff 0f 1f 44 00 00 41 54 48 8d 15 97 b8 b2 00 55 53 <0f> b6 47 39 48 89 f3 48 63 04 82 48 01 d0 3e ff e0 0f 1f 40 00bd r300_dri.so is from the package libgl1-mesa-dri I applied the same workaround I did for the previous time that mesa was broken: downgrade to previous mesa version. I went to Ctrl+Alt-F2, logged in and: ********** sudo apt install libglapi-mesa=21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3~20.04.5 libglx-mesa0=21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3~20.04.5 libgl1-mesa-dri=21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3~20.04.5 libegl-mesa0=21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3~20.04.5 libgbm1=21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3~20.04.5 sudo apt-mark hold libglapi-mesa=21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3~20.04.5 libglx-mesa0=21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3~20.04.5 libgl1-mesa-dri=21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3~20.04.5 libegl-mesa0=21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3~20.04.5 libgbm1=21.0.3-0ubuntu0.3~20.04.5 *********** Now everything works fine. Other than the mentioned mesa packages everything else is fully updated. === In short something got broken again in mesa 21.2.6, downgrading to 21.0.3 fixes the issue. === Running Lubuntu 20.04 Kernel: 5.4.0-94-generic #106-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 6 23:58:14 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Release: 20.04 GPU: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] RS482M [Mobility Radeon Xpress 200] driver: radeon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1958242/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
