First of all, we can't blame the Linux kernel for this bug, because it is firmware-specific. "firmware-specific" means that the peace of software (i.e., the backlight driver) causing this bug is written by the affected systems manufacturers (Dell, HP, etc.), and burned into the BIOS ROM chips of those systems. This software is closed-source, so there is no way to fix it, other than via firmware updates provided by the manufacturers. The freeze happens at the time of the interaction between the Linux kernel and the backlight driver provided by the firmware. Basically, It happens as follows: - The user adjust the brightness using the keyboard hot keys, or a software application (e.g., gnome-control-center). - In the first case, The X window system provides a prioritized list of backlight drivers interfaces (exported by the Linux kernel under /sys/class/backlight/) that are used for handling the keyboard key presses. The highest priority interface, which are present on the system, is used. - In the second case, the software application just selects the interface to use for adjusting the brightness from the currently available interfaces under /sys/class/backlight/ - Depending on the driver underlying the interface selected at the previous step, the system may or may not enter SMM (System Management Mode) to adjust the brightness. SMM is an operational mode which the system enters when it wants to run critical firmware (e.g., the peace of software responsible for shutting down the system when the processor temperature hit a critical threshold, or in our case, the peace of software responsible for adjusting the brightness level, etc). When the system is executing software in SMM, it is no longer under the control of the Linux kernel, and is fully controlled by the firmware executed. The video0_acpi and the dell_backlight (or whatever it's called on systems other than Dell) interfaces under /sys/class/backlight/, are interfaces, exported by the Linux kernel, for firmware drivers that execute in SMM. So if they are selected in the previous step, the system is going to enter SMM for adjusting the brightness. On the other hand, the intel_backlight interface on systems with Intel Graphics is just an interface for the Linux kernel driver responsible for adjusting the backlight level of the intel graphics chip. It is executed just like any other driver in the Linux kernel, without the need to enter special modes like SMM. So, if this driver is buggy, we can say that the Linux kernel is buggy, because it is considered part of the kernel. So, we have two cases: 1. The driver underlying the interface selected (by the X window system or the software application used for adjusting the brightness) is firmware. In this case, when adjusting the brightness, the Linux kernel just instructs the processor to enter SMM in order to execute the instructions of this driver, and when finished, it takes control back on the system. 2. The driver underlying the interface selected, is the Linux kernel driver for the graphics chip. In this case, when adjusting the brightness, this driver, provided by the Linux kernel, is responsible for doing the job, while the system is fully controlled by the Linux kernel, and without the need for entering any special modes like SMM for executing opaque firmware. In case 1, we have a problem, because the kernel has another driver, exported via /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog, that uses a hardware timer to periodically issue signals called NMIs (Non-Maskable Interrupts) every second or two. If an NMI is emitted while the system is operating in SMM, the buggy firmware executing in SMM causes the system to freeze. In case 2, we are fine, because there is no buggy firmware involved. The apci_backlight=vendor solution is not reliable, because all it does is to instruct the Linux kernel to not export the acpi_video0 interface, which is the interface for the BIOS ACPI backlight driver that is executed from SMM. But, it also instructs the kernel to export

Then, let's do some testing. Could you please do the following: - Boot the system with acpi_backlight=vendor - sudo echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog - cat /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog (make sure the output is 0) - Try changing the brightness using the keyboard keys, and see whether a freeze would happens or not.

[Bug 1098525] [NEW] Can't complete resume from hibernation unless +i or +e is pressed.
Public bug reported: I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed on my Dell Inspiron M5010 Core i3 machine. When I use pm-hibernate, the computer hibernates successfully, and when resuming it, the process completes to 100%, but after that nothing seems to happen, and I stay in the black-and-white text mode screen without any further activity. On an attempt to escape this apparent freeze, I tried to press the magic sequence + i, and to my surprise, graphics mode is back again to the same state before hibernation just like one would expect from a normal resume. I tried the whole sequence again with + e, and the same thing happened (resume completes only after the key combination is pressed). Actually I am not sure the bug is caused by pm-utils, because after the key combination is pressed, everything seems to be normal, which means that pm-hibernate did it's job, but for now, it is the most relevant package as far as I can tell.

[Bug 1052210] [NEW] mail-notification checks every new message after every reboot
Public bug reported: Usually I have a lot of unread messages in more than one mailbox on my system, and I've added those mailboxes to mail-notification. When a new message arrives, a pop-up notification allows me to know of the new message and that's OK. The problem happens when I reboot the system (or just restart the notifier daemon for whatever reason); mail-notification would then check for every unread message in each mailbox and notify me for every one of them. So, suppose I've 100 unread messages scattered around the mailboxes, and with my configuration of 15 seconds pop-up duration, this amounts to 25 minutes worth of pop-up notifications which is "REALLY" annoying. I normally would think that if mail-notification have notified me before for an unread message, then, in general, it shouldn't notify me again for the same message, even after the daemon has been started (like when rebooting the machine). But, if that behavior is considered normal (and I doubt that for a user who always have busy mailboxes), then at least there should be an option that lets the user tell the daemon explicitly that he/she wants to be notified of any unread messages in the mailboxes after starting the daemon.

This couldn't be caused by disabling nmi_watchdog; this is totally unrelated. My guess is that you've booted the system with acpi_backlight=vendor which disabled the ACPI backlight interface (/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0), and enabled the interface for the vendor backlight driver (e.g., /sys/class/backlight/dell_backlight) which won't be picked up by X, because it's not hard-coded to use it.

[Bug 846367] Re: When opening a directory with totem, video files are added to the playlist but some of them won't play
Here the output. It is attached in the file named 'log'. I noted that the too many 'mp3parse' warnings are generated when I've tried to play the files that totem can't play. ** Attachment added: "log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/846367/+attachment/2385121/+files/log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/846367 Title: When opening a directory with totem, video files are added to the playlist but some of them won't play To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/846367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Navigating through all the files in the playlist I noticed that a line, like the one below, is the common denominator with all the files that couldn't be played: 0:01:32.405488455 [334m 2193[00m 0xe46160 [33;01mWARN [00m [00m ffmpeg gstffmpegdec.c:2215:gst_ffmpegdec_frame:[00m ffdec_mpeg4: decoding error (len: -1, have_data: 0) with ffdec_mpeg4 is changed to ffdec_ depending on the file type. ** Attachment added: "log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/846367/+attachment/2385353/+files/log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/846367 Title: When opening a directory with totem, video files are added to the playlist but some of them won't play To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/846367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
