X server disables acceleration or turns off output (makes screen black) after kernel upgrade to v3.18 (Ubuntu Vivid)

[Wladimir Mutel]

after reboot into kernel 3.18 (3.18.0-8.9)

with Intel driver version 2:2.99.916+git20141119-1~exp1ubuntu1 it disables output / blacks the screen and puts in the log :
[ 37.179] (II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0
[ 37.215] (WW) intel(0): Failed to submit rendering commands, trying again with outputs disabled.
(then refuses to switch local VTs both by [Ctrl-]Alt-Fn and by chvt in remote logins)

after reverting to 2:2.99.914-1~exp1ubuntu6 it puts :
[ 41.679] (II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0
[ 41.711] (EE) intel(0): Failed to submit rendering commands, disabling acceleration.
(then allows to log in bu with desktop composition effects disabled)

after reboot back into kernel 3.16.0-28.38 , both *.916 and *.914 drivers work well

probably this bug should also be attached to kernel package v3.18

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.19 kernel[0].

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.

[0] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.19-rc3-vivid/

[Wladimir Mutel (mwg)]

booted this : linux-image-3.19.0-031900rc3-generic 3.19.0-031900rc3.201501060135
with this : xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.916+git20141119-1~exp1ubuntu1

they work well, with all desktop effects.
so this is isolated to 3.18

[William Hua (attente)]

Thank you, booting 3.19.0-031900rc3-generic fixed this for me too.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Thanks for testing. We can perform a "Reverse" bisect to identify the commit that fixes this in 3.19. First, can you also test the latest 3.18 upstream kernel to see if it already has the fix? It can be downloaded from:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.18.2-vivid/

[William Hua (attente)]

It's working for me with 3.18.2-031802-generic.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

That's good news. That means Utopic will pick up the fix for this when it gets the 3.18.2 updates.

[Wladimir Mutel (mwg)]

booted this : linux-image-3.18.2-031802-generic 3.18.2-031802.201501082011

have black screen & these records in the log :

[ 39.603] (WW) intel(0): Failed to submit rendering commands, trying again with outputs disabled.

[William Hua (attente)]

Not sure what to say... 3.18.2-031802-generic is working (for me at least) and I'm not getting that warning in the logs any more.

[William Hua (attente)]

Small excerpt from my Xorg.0.log:

[ 15.153] (II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0

Please let me know if there's some other way I can help...

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

similar issue on a latitude e6410 with i5 intel video, using 3.16 everything works fine, on 3.18 from vivid screen stays off after plymouth, using the vivid-proposed or 3.19 from the kernel ppa I get back a screen but with the wrong resolution

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Can folks affected by this bug test the following kernel:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-nightly/2015-01-13-vivid/

Depending on the results, we can perform a bisect or "Reverse" bisect.

[William Hua (attente)]

Video works for me with that kernel, but the trackpoint on my x201 is very laggy.

From https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43143, some people seem to have luck with the patch:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d472fcc8379c062bd56a3876fc6ef22258f14a91

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Wladimir, can you test the kernel in comment #28 since you are the original bug reporter?

Thanks for the pointer to commit d472fcc, William. That commit is in mainline as of v3.19-rc2. It was also cc'd to stable, so it should also make it's way into all the stable kernels.

[Wladimir Mutel (mwg)]

I will be back from vacation on Jan 19th and then test & report on #28 more fully.
Now I can only tell than with kernel 3.18.0-9.10 it shows both WW and EE in the Xorg.0.log, and turns off acceleration (unfortunately I have this log already rotated on my system)

[Wladimir Mutel (mwg)]

Booted : linux-image-3.19.0-994-generic 3.19.0-994.201501130205
with: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917-1~exp1ubuntu2
have same results as reported in #29 : working video&effects but lagging touchpad pointer.

[Wladimir Mutel (mwg)]

also no luck with linux-image-3.18.0-11-generic 3.18.0-11.12, same as in #32

[Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz)]

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d472fcc8379c062bd56a3876fc6ef22258f14a91

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76554#c116

[Wladimir Mutel (mwg)]

apparently fixed in linux-image-3.18.0-12-generic 3.18.0-12.13 (rebased to 3.18.4)

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Can folks affected by this bug apply the latest Vivid updates and confirm if this bug is fixed or not?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

The bug is exist Lenovo T410 with Intel graphics card and Ubuntu 16.04, after resume hibernate.
Attached full dmesg and /sys/class/drm/card0/error file.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

nevergone, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with Ubuntu by ensuring you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information running the following from a terminal:
