GPU Hang in Xorg rcs0 drm/i915

[Aun]

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch)
Release: 17.10
Codename: artful

When using linux kernel linux-image-4.13.0-12-generic to linux-image-4.13.0-16-generic Xorg fails to start with kernel error messages below. Kernel boots and displays messages allows for GUI to enter disk encryption key then tries to start Xorg login. Shows blank screen, sometimes part of login dialog. Then hangs and goes blank usually showing the low graphics mode error screen from Xorg and no functionality after a while. Can ctrl+alt+f1 to console. Using linux-image-4.10.0-35-generic everything works as expected. System worked without issue with Ubuntu 17.04

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1723680

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.14 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'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade?
     It started after upgrading to 17.10 artful aardvark.

Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
     It worked/works with 4.10.0-35 (still in grub boot list)

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?
     Installed and booted v4.14-rc5. Issue was got worse. Completely wedged on what should be lightdm login. Just non blinking cursor in top left of screen, no

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

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[0]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

Please follow the instructions on the wiki page[0]. The first step is to email the appropriate mailing list. If no response is received, then a bug may be opened on bugzilla.kernel.org.

Once this bug is reported upstream, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-reported-upstream'.

I am unable to get useful debug info from the kernel for a bug report. It hangs at a black screen and will not respond to any of the magic sysreq commands. I tried the intel drm-tip too and same result. Fully hung, can't ssh in, no console, nothing, completely wedged. Don't want to send bug report without details.

I'm building some tags between working and not working and will try a bisect after I narrow it down. linus v4.10 tag build works fine.

Any suggestions?

Possibly this bug? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102435
-> Ubuntu 17.10's Mesa 17.2.2 seems to be broken

No, the 64 bit kernel works it is the 32 bit build that hangs. Seems like this issue is reported against 64 bit. Could be some hardware specific issues and somehow related but on one system I have that hangs this is all I can say. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103494 perhaps you will find something specific to i915 hanging only on 32 bit kernel after kernel v4.11 that is related.

This bug was nominated against a series that is no longer supported, ie artful. The bug task representing the artful nomination is being closed as Won't Fix.

I would have marked it for bionic only if it affected bionic too. This should have a bionic task in addition to artful
