[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1176647] Re: Random Xorg freezes occuring hours after login

2013-06-06 Thread Chris Wilson
Can you try the gl backend in real world usage? I expect it to fail as well, as I think the failure mode here is the machine dying whilst waiting up a scanline - and both the Xv and gl backends should trigger that code. (Except in the case of fullscreen gl, which will go through another path). Wher

Out of the backend I tried (xv, gl_nosw, x11, sdl/x11, gl, gl2) xv seems to be causing the problem. I am currently using the backend x11 and have yet to observe a crash using it. However during my tesing cauing the crash was not as reliable as in real-world usage before but at the time of the crash

How are you playing the video? If you are using mplayer, can you try the various backends to see if any are more susceptible? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176

For some other reason I switched my window manager to dwm and can now almost reliably reproduce the failure by simply starting a video in mplayer and wait for approx. 5 seconds. Before with gnome/metacity I could sometimes watch entire movies of multiple hours. Sometimes it would crash in between b

Hmm, suggests that the fresh data never reached disk before the system hang. Maybe try 'while :; do sleep 1; cat ... >> error_state; sync; done' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.laun

Since the affected maschine is not reachable via SSH, I just dumped the error state every second (while [ 1 ]; sleep 1; do cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state >> error_state; done) and deleted all the "no error state" lines from the file before the actual error dump after the crash. As it

The symptoms are consistent with a GPU hang, so please try to grab the /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state after the event (and before rebooting). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bu

The bug can occur as early as 1 minute after boot up. I tried watching a video in mplayer. Several times the system locked up which I handled with a hard reset. Once I just started mplayer, skipped to the correct position in the video and could only watch 5 seconds more as the system froze again

I continue to experience this bug several times a day. The bug can occur as early as 20 minutes after boot, but may also not occur during several hours of usage. I do not see anything suspicious in the log files though. It might be a coincidence but it may especially occur when using mplayer. --
