10de:0df4 [Dell XPS 15 L502X] no nouveau HDMI support with dual grafic card in Ubuntu 12.04LTS with 3.2.0-29-generic

[asgard2]

With nouveau, the HDMI port is not working in Ubuntu 12.04LTS with 3.2.0-29-generic, newest nvidia driver with bumblebee, through 13.10.
$ dpkg --status nvidia-current | grep Version
Version: 304.37-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1

In 14.04, the FPS is quite low (1-3), and there are graphical artifacts.

second monitor is plugged in on HDMI but is not recognized:

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.6 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. Please only remove that one tag and leave the other tags. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I installed the latest kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6-rc2-quantal/ :

[Stéphane Gourichon (stephane-gourichon-lpad)]

Hi asgard2,

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org [1]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

If you are comfortable with opening a bug upstream, It would be great if you can report back the upstream bug number in this bug report. That will allow us to link this bug to the upstream report.

[madbiologist (me-again)]

All the pieces (not just the kernel) to make hybrid graphics work are in Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal". Can you please test with that and report back here?

[madbiologist (me-again)]

PRIME power management support to conserve power for the unused GPU is currently targeted for the Linux 3.8 kernel, which in turn is the kernel being targeted for the upcpming Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail".

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

I tested the xubuntu 12.10 from an usb stick. The hdmi port is still not working.

[madbiologist (me-again)]

"Reverse PRIME" support has just been added to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.6-0ubuntu2 in Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail", which should allow your NVIDIA GPU to scan-out to HDMI what's being rendered by the Intel graphics processor. Can you test with a daily build and report back?

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

@madbiologist:
I downloaded the current image from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130208/

and installed it via usb-ceator on a stick.
This version is not starting. It comes up to the black screen with the mouse coursor, but nothing happend. Mouse/F1.. terminal is not responding. Boot log looks good... I'm waiting here 20 minutes, the usb stick led is still working....I think more time neither help....

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

Hi,

of course. I downloaded the daily-live "saucy-desktop-amd64.iso 12-Aug-2013 08:16 866M".

He recognizes the screen but it is not working very well.

I used xrandr --auto, the notebook screen is frozen and the external screen is on and has artefacts. The speed was horrible, type a character and it appers some time later.

http://www.xup.in/dl,15961655/IMG_20130812_164914.jpg/

I think he didn't make it to send the full crash report but I saved the crash files.
Should I post the files here? There was a message that they may contain sensitive information, but it was a live CD, there could be nothing sensitive in there, right?

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

ok.
Yes, the screen is connected via HDMI.

According to the screenshot, there was another HDMI-2 und an VGA-2, this is new.

The VGA-2 is also connected, I don't know why, the notebook has no VGA.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

asgard2, just to clarify, when you tested Saucy, were you using any PPAs, or just nvidia-current from the Ubuntu repository?

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

I used nothing, only the saucy image and xrandr.

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

ok, you are right. there is a new bios version.

$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
A11
05/29/2012

After upgrade:
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
A12
09/07/2012

I updated and booted the live image, it is the same as before.

The screen is recognized after the second hdmi cable plugin try.

using
xrandr --auto

activates VGA-1, after I saw this http://www0.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=13581600

I deactivated VGA-1 with "xrandr --output VGA-1 --off", the most artefacts are gone.
But it is still slow on dual screen and I can not change to the notebook screen (is is frozen) or the screen is cloned.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

asgard2, just to clarify, regarding your Saucy test, you just tested with nouveau (i.e. no bumblebee or nvidia)?

Regarding your Bug Description, you noted in Precise you tested this with newest nvidia and bumblebee together. As bumblebee is not supported, if you tested the nvidia driver from a supported Ubuntu repository (.e.g. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers) does this change anything?

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

I tested with the nouveau driver.

I tried to install the nvidia driver, bumblebee seems not available for this version and the nvidia-current driver or nvidia-current-updates is not working.

nvidia-detect returns "none"

Maybe somebody can help?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

asgard2, regarding nvidia-current not working for you, the Ubuntu X.Org team (maintainers of nvidia-current), Ubuntu Bug Control, and Ubuntu Bug Squad would like you to please file a new report by executing the following in a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

For more on this, please see the official Ubuntu documentation:
Ubuntu X.Org team, Ubuntu Bug Control, and Ubuntu Bug Squad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices
Ubuntu Community: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs

When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

Please note, not filing a new report would delay your problem being addressed as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

asgard2, as a potential WORKAROUND, if you disable the discrete nvidia card in BIOS, would your HDMI work in either Precise or Saucy?

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

sorry for my late answer

I updated Saucy to kernel 3.11.0.7, if I try to activate the HDMI I recieve:
xrandr: Configure crtc 3 failed.

and the second screen is detected at HDMI-2 now.

It is completely not working anymore with nouveau.

Do you mean a new bug for nvidia-current problem with nvidia-detect "none"?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

asgard2, regarding your comments https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1040053/comments/44 :
>"I updated Saucy to kernel 3.11.0.7, if I try to activate the HDMI I recieve: xrandr: Configure crtc 3 failed. and the second screen is detected at HDMI-2 now. It is completely not working anymore with nouveau."

So, you were in Precise or Saucy itself when you did this test?

>"Do you mean a new bug for nvidia-current problem with nvidia-detect "none"?"

Yes, as nvidia and nouveau are distinctly different drivers, requiring one bug report, per problem, per driver for each to be dealt with efficiently.

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

I used Saucy. I installed a daily soucy build on a flash over a month ago and upgrated yesteday.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

asgard2, ok. So to start from the beginning, in Precise if you use Bumblebee, it's not supported by Ubuntu, as it's not in the Precise repository, but a PPA.

With this in mind, your Precise lspci showed your nvidia card wasn't even working, and everything seemed to be flowing through your Intel card (probably due to Bumblebee not working right or you had nvidia card disabled in BIOS).

Despite that, just to clarify on your Saucy test, all you did was have both graphics cards enabled in BIOS, no Bumblebee, and was relying on only nouveau, correct?

As well, if you install the nvidia drivers only in Saucy (no Bumblebee) does your HDMI work for you?

[madbiologist (me-again)]

And if you disable the discrete nvidia card in your system's BIOS?

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

The is no option to disable the discrete nvidia card in the bios.

Ubuntu 13.04 is installed local at the HD and 13.10 at the flash drive.

This is from 13.10, nvidia- current is installed from the repository. The hdmi is not working "xrandr: Configure crtc 3 failed."

The NVIDIA 319.17 driver introduced support for Optimus dual graphics, provided you have xserver 1.13, a modern Linux kernel with the very latest GEM/PRIME bits, and XRandR 1.4. Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" and Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" both have xserver 1.13 and XRandR 1.4. nvidia-graphics-drivers-319 319.32-0ubuntu7 and nvidia-graphics-drivers-319-updates 319.49-0ubuntu2 are available in Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander".

You will also need to make a special xorg.conf file as described at http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/319.12/README/randr14.html

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

I tryed the xorg.conf (example + add bus id "01:00.0") and the nvidia-319 driver from saucy packages, but it falls back to low graphics mode.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

asgard2, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, please just make a comment to this.

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available via http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc6-trusty/ and advise to the results?

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

Bug is still there.
I tested with the latest saucy upgrades and the current stable trusty kernel (3.13.0-031300-generic_3.13.0-031300.20140119).
The screen connected on the hdmi port is not even recognized.

If required I could also try the current daily build.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

asgard2, it's not required, but it would help out a lot by testing out a newer X.Org stack/nouveau. Could you please do this and advise if anything changes?

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

I tried the current daily live version, during booting, the ubuntu splash screen was at the external screen and the terminal output at the notebook.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

asgard2, thank you for testing Trusty. For now, I'm going to send this to xorg for review, as this would appear to be an issue there, versus the kernel.

Despite this, regarding the information you provided:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ xrandr --output HDMI-1-1 --auto
Floating point exception (core dumped)

If your OS is not in too bad of a shape, a window should pop open to allow you the opportunity to report a bug. If not, this should populate a crash file in the folder /var/crash , where it is recommended this is copied to your installed OS, and report from there via:
ubuntu-bug NAMEOFCRASHFILE

Just to clarify, in the best scenario from all the xrandr permutations tested, while the external monitor was working via HDMI in Trusty, the FPS was 1-3, and you would have graphics artifacts?

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

I send a ubuntu-bug report.

Yes, the reaction time was slow and there were artefacs at the external screen.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

asgard2, the fact HDMI doesn't work at all in Precise through Saucy would be a downstream (Ubuntu) only issue.

However, the issue of low FPS and graphics artifacts in Trusty is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem through the appropriate channel by following the instructions _verbatim_ at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ ?

Please provide a direct URL to your bug report once you have made it so that it may be tracked.

Thank you for your understanding.

[asgard2 (kamp000x)]

I tried to reproduce this, now I receiver this error:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ xrandr --output HDMI-1-1 --mode 1920x1080
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 7 (RRSetScreenSize)
  Value in failed request: 0x0
  Serial number of failed request: 45
  Current serial number in output stream: 46

I could not get the notebook screen and the external online, notebook is black.

Graphic errors are the same as before.
But I would say, the slow reaction time is maybe not because of fps. For example, the terminal is sometimes very slow, I could type something and it is written a second ago.
Graphics seems to be smooth, but the screen is not refreshing, for ex.
