[PM800] No terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1, ...) after suspend to RAM (cunfused screen now)

[Stefan Koch]

Hello,

I have a confused screen (see .JPG-attachment) after suspend to RAM in ubuntu 9.10 x86.
Notebook: Fujitsu Siemens Computers AMILO Pro V2010

My last apt-get update; apt-get upgrade was 20 minutes ago.

Before Wednesday or Thuesday (perhaps since the new ubuntu logo at startup), I don't had any terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F?. There was a confused screen before suspend, too.

You can see at the confused screen (.JPG FILE!): "Report a bug Mozilla Firefox)

Addon:
If the notebook is idle the GDM screensaver (no user is logged in) looks confused, too.
At first the colors not so penetrative(darkbrown, like the normal background from GDM), the Attachment shows the third screensaver (after mouse moves), and this one is penetrative (white black).

It could be that the confused screensaver uses colors from the GDM Background there ist with in the near of the username, and brown at the background...

Look at the Picture: The mouse ist normal

After an mouse move, the GDM looks normal

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

the normal GDM

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

the fourth screensaver (nearly the first and second)

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

Every start, after the GRUB comes:

[ 1.058194] ACPI: Invalid _PSS data (2009-10-08)
[ 1.098851] ACPI: Invalid _PSS data (today - last update today)

There was never a state (with 9.10) theres no message like ACPI: Invalid _PSS data (but -you see-: other numbers)

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Please build/install the latest openchrome driver and enable debug mode.
The detail build instruction for Ubuntu/Debian is available at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome

Attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.
If you can from after reproducing this issue (or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old).

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hi stefan-koch,

Thanks for including an image to demonstrate the issue. Could you also please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` and `dmesg`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log or Xorg.0.log.old file from after reproducing this issue. If you've using a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

So, now I have installed the new openchrome driver...

STEPS:
svn checkout http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome
cd openchrome
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-debug --enable-xv-debug
make
checkinstall
REBOOT in rescue mode
apt-get remove --purge xorg-xserver-video-openchrome
dpkg -i openchrome_0.2.904-1_i386.deb (on root shell - "rescue" system in GRUB)
reboot
SUSPEND TO RAM

Strg+Alt+F1--> corrupted screen like confused screen (IMG_0549.JPG) see above
Strg+Alt+F7 GUI --> works

Copied the attached log files from /var
lspci -vvnn >> lspci.txt
dmesg >> dmesg.txt

(essentially)

NOTE: With the vesa driver 640x480 the error doesn't occurs after SUSPEND TO RAM.
It is possible to use the vesa driver with 1024x768?

Best regards,

Stefan Koch
-------

P.S.: 1 or 2 months ago: there was a confused screen on STRG+ALT+F1 (without SUSPEND, normal boot) -> shell(gnome-terminal) in GUI (gnome) is ok

Today are at startup the following messages:
[ 1.081067] ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.3: can't setup
[ 1.081273] ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.3: init 0000:00:10.3, fail -110
[ 1.091849] ACPI: Invalid _PSS data

But that was any hours ago, yet I have onle the Invalid _PSS data error...

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

P.S. the last apt-get update, apt-get upgrade was today, in the morning

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

try to add option:
ModeSwitchMethod "new"

to the xorg.conf file.
You must have latest svn openchrome revision to use "ModeSwitchMethod" option

Then attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file (before jump to the console and after).

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

With the new driver, the error happens, too.

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

The driver revision is 817... Thanks.

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

What is now to do?

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Which Ubuntu revision do you use?

Does this error exist in the previous revision of Ubuntu (Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid)?

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Looking at the attachments in this bug report, I noticed that "xorg.conf" was flagged as a patch. A patch contains changes to an Ubuntu package that will resolve a bug, since this was not one I've unchecked the patch flag for it. In the future keep in mind the definition of a patch. You can learn more about what qualifies as a patch at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Patches. Thanks!

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

@ Bartosz

My ubuntu revision is ubuntu 9.10, the latest update concerning this update was at 2009-11-09

Note: the diffused screen changes when you open an other program as firefox (you see an other name). The diffused screen is only a very very bad copy of the X-server-screen. At shutdown, I think the messages are visible, but NOT when shutdown the x-server (/etc/init.d/gdm stop). After the gdm stop the diffused screen is still visible, whithout the "Mozilla Firefox" or "..." mark.

But when you press now the POWER-Button of the Notebook, the spash-screen is correct, and a quick time before HALT you can see some messages (perhaps after the splash is terminated)

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

ubuntu 8.10 wasn't installed on this machine, perhaps the live cd was a quick time in it...

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

At grub menu , type 'e' to edit and I added vga=791 (which is
depreceated) and boot.
Is it helps?

[dlamer (l-wojtus)]

To be more clearly.
When in grub menu:
press 'e' to edit.
move cursor to the end of the line with starts with "linux"
type: vga=791
press ctrl+x to boot

After the system boots and you log in to gdm and see your desktop, try CTRL+ALT+1

If console will looks ok it would seem you have the same problem as I have. ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/+bug/483464 )

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Apply this patch, and check if it works for you on the latest svn openchrome.

Then build/install the latest openchrome driver and enable debug mode.
The detail build instruction for Ubuntu/Debian is available at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome

Attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

Now, with vga=791 the fontsize of the terminal is smaller (a.e. from 20 to 10pt --- before suspend to RAM).

AFTER suspend to ram (Strg+Alt+F1) I could enter something to the terminal, and see it (without vga=791) I couldn't recognize some entered from the terminal.

But now the display is divided in two sections the TOP-section is once more divided -> Into two paralell TERMINALS. the DOWN-section shows the half desktop.

The entered text into the terminal appears on the left and the right terminal.

Now I will test the PATCH.

Look into the two attachments for more details. the first attachment shows the hole display, and the twice a bit from the therminal (it's after suspend GREEN).

NOTE: If I get back to gnome open a window, move it into the DOWN-part, I will see it again on STRG+Alt+F1 (see third attachment)

Best regards

Stefan Koch

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

The xorg.conf AFTER my last post on 2009-11-09

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

NOTE: The reboot after suspend does nothing the display is still divided.
=> two ubuntu logos when rebooting/halt with green lips.

Without vga=791 the boot splash was when rebooting/halt (after suspend) right.

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

With vga=792 it works correct...

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

@Bartosz
with your patch it workts without an vga=??? option, and with the same font size as before (TERMINAL).

Now I will test if the bugy screensaver is also fixed (see IMG_0552.JPG)

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

The buggy screensaver doesn't happen.
=> mainly: no errors anymore without an vga-option

And with vga=791 no errors, too.

What does the patch do?

Will the patch included into ubuntu 10.04??

Thanks!

Best regards,

Stefan Koch

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

The new problem:

--> if the screensaver should come (after the shade of screen), the normal desktop comes...

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

after RESTART the screensaver works

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

@Stefan
Do you think this patch works correctly for you?
Is it ready to commit to openchrome?
Does playing video is working?
Did playing video (XV) work before applying this patch?

I think video playing X11 and GL2 should wokrking.

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

After installing all depencies:
apt-get install build-essential subversion autoconf automake1.9 libtool
apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

Now at applying the patch I get the following messages:
admin0@CL-SQ8E:~/openc/openchrome$ patch -p0 < /home/admin0/Downloads/openchrome-0.2.904-set_colorkey_for_2nd_monitor.patch

Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]
Apply anyway? [n]
Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file src/via_swov.c.rej

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

Steps to install without patch:

THE FIRST TIME:
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion autoconf automake1.9 libtool
sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
mkdir openc
cd openc
svn checkout http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome
cd openchrome
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-debug --enable-xv-debug
make
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
sudo checkinstall

THE SECOND TIME (when new driver is online or patch available):
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion autoconf automake1.9 libtool
sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
mkdir openc
cd openc
svn checkout http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome
cd openchrome
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-debug --enable-xv-debug
make
sudo apt-get remove --purge openchrome
sudo checkinstall

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

On the two images you can see the confused screen now in 10.04 with the shipped openchrome driver.
But with the openchrome Driver (Rev. 845) over svn there is the "same" confused screen WITHOUT suspend!

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

XV doesn't work in REV845, X11 video works
apply patch does not work

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Check if the rev846 is works for you (this bug was fixed for that).

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

Thanks...
XV does not work, with the newest revision that downloadable with:
svn checkout http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome
(I think it's 846)

And without suspend, with Strg+Alt+F1 you can get a confused screen

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

the confused screen can you see in : 27072010.jpg
and in the video the booting process: 20072010.mp4 (includes confused screen, when entering strg+alt+f1 and switch back to strg+alt+f7)

used ubuntu version: 10.04

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Hi
Please check Ubuntu 10.10 - is this problem was solved in this revision?

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

In 10.10 it's no problem with confused screen when switch to text console with CTRL+ALT+F1.
The same is no problem after suspend to RAM.

But note: this is a special install of ubuntu 10.10 I have not installed it on the laptop's HDD, I have done this with an other computer (with ATI Graphics), on this other computer I installed 10.10 to CompactFlash-Card with USB-CardReader. And I have boot it on this other computer, too. And installed the newest updates there.
And then I have used this installation on the laptop.
NOTE: It could be, that the ubuntu bootscreen is another one(other resolution, ...) as when I installed it on the laptop's HDD.

Booting 10.04 on laptop: ubuntu LOGO will be shown
Booting 10.10 on laptop with USB-Card-Reader: only the text "ubuntu 10.10" without logo will shown (+ any text messages)

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

With default driver from ubuntu 10.10 it works, but XVideo doesn't work.

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

With driver revision 891 (self compiled) it works, but XVideo doesn't work, too.
FROM: svn checkout http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

NOTE: both drivers default from 10.10 and compiled have the same characteristics

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

If you switching from text console (CTRL+ALT+F1) to Gnome (CTRL+ALT+F7) for half of a second you will get this attached screen. A bit defective.

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

NOTE: in 10.10 with compiled driver rev 891 I can't see the text console (CTRL+ALT+F1), I get a confused red screen with vertical lines

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

I think I found solution for Xvideo problem.

Try to build openchrome according https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome
but before build replace via_swov.c file.

What exactly motherboard/laptop do you have?

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

I have loaded rev 911 and replaced via_swov.c - the same XVideo problem.

The laptop is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro V2010.

How to get motherboard info?

How to download an older revision of openchrome from svn? command?

Thanks.

[Alberto Jovito (thedemon007)]

Hello Stefan Koch see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome the comand svn checkout http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome

cd openchrome*

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-debug --enable-xv-debug

make

sudo make install

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

I have just tested revision 817 of openchrome on ubuntu 10.10:
- XVideo works
- confused screen is after suspend on STRG+ALT+F1 - textconsole

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

and ubuntu ist starting with 1600x1200 pixel instead of 1024x768 (display's pixel range)

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Please check the latest Openchrome revision.

How it is works for you?

[Stefan Koch (stefan-koch)]

Hi,

XV doesn't work with the latest version of openchrome.
But no confused screen after suspend when on text console STRG+ALT+F1
And ubuntu starts with 1024x768
