X keeps crashing in Lucid

[Darxus]

Binary package hint: xorg

Seems pretty random. Might be web browser related, but not a specific browser - happens with both firefox and chrome. Might correlate to mouse clicks in a browser, not sure.

X crashes. The screen goes between showing the console and random graphic garbage. Soft power button still works.

Crashed again when I was away from the machine. Same Xorg log contents.

[Darxus (darxus)]

I'm now getting:

(II) intel(0): EDID vendor "DEL", prod id 40975

Fatal server error:
Failed to submit batchbuffer: No space left on device

[Darxus (darxus)]

kernel: [ 442.700960] [drm:i915_gem_do_execbuffer] *ERROR* Failed to pin buffer 2 of 3, total 67125248 bytes: -28

These crashes (of X) aren't hanging the machine like the previous crashes were. Not sure if something changed or it's inconsistent.

This is happening problematically often.

Somebody else's info on what looks like the same bug:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8867529

[Darxus (darxus)]

The duplicate status is wrong. This is a different problem from bug #584655. "No space left on device" X crash vs. "Input/output error" X hang.

How do I remove the duplicate indication?

[Darxus (darxus)]

Had apport running for this crash, /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state contains only "no error state collected".

[Darxus (darxus)]

When I kill X and start it from the command line with "startx" it consistantly failes with the same error ("Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error").

Also, just before that line, and not written to anywhere but the console, is:

"../../intel/intel_bufmgr_gem.c:901: Error setting to CPU domain 3: Input/output error"

I typed that, so it could have typos, but I checked several times.

I disabled a bunch of stuff in my xorg.conf which I think has a pretty good chance of stopping the crashes. No feeling on effect on performance yet.

[Darxus (darxus)]

Nope, crashed again a couple seconds later when I hit "page down" on this page.

I'm being affected by this very same error. Only difference is that, in my case, I never saw a crash while I was using the system. But whenever it stays idle for a long time (i.e. during night time), I get a dialog saying something like "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode..." and Xorg.0.log contains exact same fatal error message: "failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error".

I guess it's also important to notice that I'm using a Trendnet 409K 4 port KVM switch, which during the idle time before the problem happens is never selected on the Ubuntu machine.

[Eduardo Ribeiro Rodrigues (edu-pobox)]

One more detail: I had a 3D screensaver configured. I saw some other similar bugs relating to OpenGL stuff, so now I selected blank screen as screensaver and will see how it behaves.

After recently updating lucid (29 May 2010) I started to see this problem. Random crash and return to login screen. Followed link to bug #541492 and applied fix from Brian Rogers.
