[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 456902] Re: [i845g] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in
Having trouble getting the box to boot at all with Lucid + xorg-edgers, as xserver-xorg-video-intel requires mode switching enabled in the kernel but leaving nomodeset=1 off the options line makes the machine boot into a video mode that its monitor doesn't support (probably related to bug 522488). Also, I no longer have bench space for that box at work; will bring it home in the next few days and report back once I get it working at all with Lucid. -- [i845g] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ 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 391705] Re: [Karmic] kernel >= 2.6.30-10 with vga=791 tty consoles not accessible and not showing dmesg.
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 391215 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391215 As far as I've been able to determine by experiment, the Karmic kernels completely ignore the vga= option, and rely on EDID to work out what resolution to use. For those of us unfortunate enough to own screens with bogus EDID, this fails. In my case, I'm trying to use an Acer AL1511 LCD panel and the only resolution listed in its EDID is 640x350 even though its native resolution is 1024x768. With GRUB 2, adding vga=791 (which calls for a 1024x768x16 framebuffer) to the kernel boot options prompts whining about vga= being deprecated, then ignores it (I get nasty-looking 620x350 text consoles); with GRUB, there's no whining but the option is still ignored. Booting a Hardy live CD on the same box and adding vga=791 to the boot options using F6 gives me the 1024x768 text consoles I'm expecting (although the live CD's GUI is broken because X also believes what the monitor tells it). I know that monitors exist whose EDID reports resolutions they can't actually display. If Anton is unlucky enough to have one of those, and the kernel is simply ignoring his vga=791 option at boot time, that would explain all his symptoms. -- [Karmic] kernel >= 2.6.30-10 with vga=791 tty consoles not accessible and not showing dmesg. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391705 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu (via bug 391215). ___ 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

Mouse cursor moves, but clicks are ignored and keyboard is locked up (caps/num lock produce no change in status LEDs, ctrl-alt-Fn doesn't work). Disk activity continues. If a freeze is going to happen, it will most often be right when an app is in the process of opening a new window. I'm using Metacity as desktop effects cannot be enabled (is Intel 845 blacklisted for Compiz? haven't followed this up). Alt-SysRq-R E I S U will cause some disk activity at each keystroke and *very* occasionally produce a black screen but B never reboots; only holding in the power button will do that. Have not yet tried ssh since none of these boxes have openssh-server installed, but can do so if you need further confirmation that this is the same freeze pattern as initially reported. -- [i845G] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ 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

Thanks, Murphy. Love your work. 11:2.8.0 froze while using Firefox to compose a Gmail. As usual the mouse cursor remained movable (though stuck in the I-beam shape from the compose window, this time) but no response to clicks or keyboard. The desktop clock didn't update. The top listing on the other computer (in an ssh session to this one) did continue to update. When I quit top and tried "sudo service gdm stop" there was a password prompt, then a ~20 second wait, then a message reading "gdm stop/waiting" but the display on the frozen computer remained frozen.

After noticing in Xorg.0.log that 2.8.0 used UXA by default while 2.7.0 was picking EXA, I added Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" to the "Device" section in xorg.conf and reinstalled 2.7.0.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 456902] Re: [i845g] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in
No freeze so far, but I can't switch to a text console - any attempt gives me a black screen, after which I can't get the GUI back. Keyboard and (presumably) mouse still fully operational - I can successfully log in blind to a text console and issue a reboot command. Doing /etc/init.d/gdm restart via ssh causes processes I know are running in the GUI (e.g. Firefox) to disappear, and the appropriate restart sounds, but the screen stays black. About to ppa-purge and find out whether this is new behaviour or just Jaunty being itself on this box. -- [i845g] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ 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 456902] Re: [i845g] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in
Just to clarify: I've had text console switching misbehaviour both times I've tried driver version 2:2.7.0-jaunty1. It's not a complete X freeze: the keyboard stays responsive, I can see the monitor turning its backlight off and on as I attempt to switch screens, and the monitor's OSD reports 1024x768 as it should. But the only way I've found to restore a non-black text or GUI screen is to reboot - restarting gdm doesn't do it. Do you think this is related to the freeze we're chasing? Even if not, given that this misbehaviour is so quickly and reliably triggered, is it worth bisecting for in its own right? -- [i845g] Karmic stops responding a few minutes after log in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ 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

Brian: after the last freeze, I accidentally rebooted into your patched kernel (2.6.31-50-generic) and ran it for a while with the same packages as in comment #200, and it also froze while I was using remote desktop viewer.
