intel drm GPU hang on every boot (before GDM) after installing lucid updates

[Martin Olsson]

Binary package hint: xorg

I've had lucid on this machine for weeks and it's been very stable. After installing updates and rebooting it now won't boot. Instead of GDM I get a black screen (with a single row of multicolored pixels near the top of the screen). I hear the Ubuntu drum sound when it arrives at the GDM screen and I can login via ssh. In dmesg/xorglog I see GPU hang errors.

Via the Ubuntu GRUB "Recovery" option I was able to run an apt-get dist-upgrade from non-GUI mode and that installed a newer version of mesa (7.7-0ubuntu5) and that fixed my computer. I suppose one of the Ubuntu packagers also ran into this bug right after mesa 7.7-0ubuntu4 was uploaded and therefore uploaded 7.7-0ubuntu5 shortly after containing the fix.

The attached batch buffer might still be interesting for you guys? I'm resolving the bug though.

I forwarded the batch buffer dump upstream:

Via the GRUB "recovery" menu I was able to select "Repair packages" ... and that ran apt-get dist-upgrade which in turn installed mesa 7.7-0ubuntu5 and now my machine boot just fine again.

I have a similar problem. I get the Ubuntu logo and the cursor as if it was busy, sometimes I hear the drums, other times not. I have to got to run level 1, then alt-ctrl-f7 to see the gdm, when I select my name and type the password, it hangs, so I have to repeat run level 1 and alt-ctrl-f7 to see the desktop boot.
