[mesa] intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument

[Adrian Mariano]

I'm trying to run a game called braid. I previously ran this game successfully under 12.04 with my nVidia card using the proprietary drivers, and I have also run it under 13.10 on a different box with a different nVidia card. Now with 14.04 intel graphics finally actually works for everything else I want to do and I was hoping I could ditch the nVidia card and not have to mess around with the nVidia drivers. (It sure has taken a long time!) But when I run braid I get the error

intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument

and nothing happens. (The program doesn't run and I am returned to the prompt.)

Here is the output of ldd run on the braid executable:

I get the same error when running the "trackballs" program, which might be easier to investigate since it's freely available.

Is there anything else I can do to shed light on this? Additional tests I could run? Problem is 100% repeatable.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jason D'A (jdami534)]

i am also affected by this issue, in a reproducable manner, before hybernation / suspend i start glxgears, after resume the glxgears terminal shows this error, and will continue to report it every time i try to start glxgears or other HW accerated opengl applications (minecraft and AlephOne in OpenGl mode), i then tried playing a video in vlc with opengl enabled video output modules, all which crashed vlc with that error, but if i switch it to software decode and softeware decode modules the video will play.

these all work before a hibernation, and will work after a reset.

this might also relate to bug 1355196

Jason D'A, please do not add stray bug tasks to this report, as this bug report is not scoped to you, or your problem. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into the default Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline one) via:
ubuntu-bug linux

For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation:
Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue

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

As well, please do not announce in this report you created a new bug report.

Thank you for your understanding.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Adrian Mariano, as per https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/50101/Intel-Desktop-Board-DH67CL an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (0160). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

[Adrian Mariano (avm4)]

I have updated the BIOS. After this update the problem no longer occurs.

[Víctor Matía Rodríguez (vitimiti)]

This is affecting me in Ubuntu 15.10 with mainstream kernel when trying to run the OpenRA game (mono OpenGL game).

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Víctor Matía Rodríguez, as this report is closed, it doesn't affect you at all.

However, to have your issue addressed, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with Ubuntu via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Please ensure you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

Also, please feel free to subscribe me to it.
