linux-firmware is outdated

[Islam]

[Impact]

This is optimus laptop with Intel 11th Gen and Nvidia.
In recent kernels like 6.2.0 it gives a blank screen after booting and if nouveau.modset=1 is set, it completely freeze the system.

I remember it was working fine in 5.x kernels.
Now I have to blacklist nouveau and use Nvidia driver instead.

Using this commit of linux-firmware solved the issue:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/nvidia?id=2e92a49f90f73c8edc44b25c6e669d5e70893c90

[Fix]

Upstream commit 2e92a49f90f9 ("nvidia: update Tu10x and Tu11x signed firmware to support newer Turing HW")

[Test Case]

Boot a machine with relevant GPU.

[Where Problems Could Occur]

Updated Nvidia FW so limited to machines with relevant GPUs.

Hello Islam, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into lunar-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/20230323.gitbcdcfbcf-0ubuntu1.7 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-lunar to verification-done-lunar. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-lunar. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Hi Timo,
does testing https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/20230323.gitbcdcfbcf-0ubuntu1.7
require some specific kernel version, or can I drop this FW into Ubuntu Jammy, running linux-image 6.2.0-33?

I'm running KDE Neon, so updating to Lobster is not an option at the moment, and I'm forced to running 5.19.X kernel for now.

[Juerg Haefliger (juergh)]

Jammy and a 6.2 kernel should be sufficient.

[Juerg Haefliger (juergh)]

Somebody please test the version in proposed as detailed in comment #2. Or we might have to roll back the changes.

[Lassi Väätämöinen (lvaatamoinen)]

I'm trying it now.

[Lassi Väätämöinen (lvaatamoinen)]

I tried it. After booting up with kernel 6.2.0-33, logging into KDE from SDDM just freezes during SDDM handoff. So no effect on the faulty behavior from my part.

With kernel 5.19 + the proposed firmware, it works. So to me this seems more kernel nouveau driver related issue?

So, for me I still need to resort to using 5.19 kernel.

Attaching dmesg of the faulty boot, in case that shows anything.

[Lassi Väätämöinen (lvaatamoinen)]

Some more details, I'm running KDE Neon (Ubuntu Jammy base).

Kernel 6.2.0-33 + new FW + Plasma (X11):
-> Login OK
-> Cannot logout, SDDM won't be displayed again (this was my original issue with the 6.X kernels)
(Also, cannot use multihead on KDE).

Kernel 6.2.0-33 + new FW + Plasma (Wayland):
-> Login NOK
After SDDM login, the GUI session freezes before reaching Plasma desktop

[Lassi (lassi-vaatamoinen)]

Ok, I disabled SDDM from the loop and started Plasma session manually. I got some nouveau-related traces in the logs

Just for reference, I needed to do the following steps

0. Boot up with kernel 5.19
1. sudo systemctl disable sddm.service
2. reboot to 6.3.0-33
3. startplasma-wayland
4. <black screen with a mouse pointer>
5. alt+space to bring up KRunner
6. plasmashell --replace

[Lassi (lassi-vaatamoinen)]

The NVIDIA firmware is still too old in this build?

Based on the below ticket, it should be at least 20230404

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/nouveau/mesa/-/issues/83#note_2109477

[Lassi (lassi-vaatamoinen)]

This build to test now is from 20230320:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/20230323.gitbcdcfbcf-0ubuntu1.7

linux-firmware:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=bcdcfbcf0a8f24a914b8c163906e6ce93d7f8897

So we would need NVIDIA FW 20230404 or newer to test, also for the missing NVIDIA firmwares. There already was this
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/nvidia?id=2e92a49f90f73c8edc44b25c6e669d5e70893c90

But the 20230404 was missing FW for Nvidia TU117, for example.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

-0ubuntu1.7 has that nvidia firmware update already, look at the changelog...

[Lassi (lassi-vaatamoinen)]

Sorry, I was also under that impression, but got sidetracked by the comment https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/issues/266#note_2109414

But, the TU117 has not been updated in the repo in ages?

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/log/nvidia/tu117

For TU117, we have a separate Launcpad issue open:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/2030882

[Juerg Haefliger (juergh)]

The bug reporter specifically asked for upstream commit 2e92a49f90f73c8edc44b25c6e669d5e70893c90 which is in 20230323.gitbcdcfbcf-0ubuntu1.7. Please do not hijack this bug for other requests/problems.

[Lassi (lassi-vaatamoinen)]

Sorry for attempted hijack.

I was just trying to provide insights that I happened to face with the firmwares from upstream commit 2e92a49f90f9, using kernel version 6.2 and somtehing similar of a TU117 gfx silicon, and that I am still facing very similar issues. Perhaps for the very reason that explicit TU117 firmware was not in that upstream commit. So just based on this, it might not even be a fix for this particular issue.

Not to mention the fact that I, too, had no issues with 5.19 kernel, but since 6.2 I have had plenty, regardless of FW updates (which for TU117 are none?)

But by the looks of it, Ubuntu updates changes tracking is quite confusing, nor am I an expert on which combination of NVIDIA firmware blobs are used with particular gfx silicon, I am out of contributions.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

we don't (can't) update all of linux-firmware, but only selected fw blobs that are requested

there are no updates for tu117 upstream since 2020, as you mentioned. So the bugfix for this bug will not help you.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

islam, can you please test the update to see if it works now?

[Islam (islam)]

Timo, I really would love to but I'm sorry I only have Debian 12 (as it supports full disk encryption including /boot out of the box) on my computer at the moment and don't have access to Ubuntu.

But I may try 23.10 when it's out, so I will let you know then.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

no it doesn't help with this SRU

upstream had this to say:

18:21 < $upstreamdev> yeah, I don't care
18:21 < $upstreamdev> it's critical to have those files, I can't really phrase it any differently
18:22 < $upstreamdev> I'm tired of having to tell users that they should tell their distribution (whatever
                     debian/ubuntu version) that those files aren't backported
18:22 < $upstreamdev> leave a comment with "upstream says those files _must_ be backported" if that helps
18:23 < $upstreamdev> just get those files to users

[Juerg Haefliger (juergh)]

Some of the TU117 files are symlinks to TU116 so this commit does affect TU117:
