Bug Description

Hello,

on my new laptop, a HP ProBook 6440b (with Core i5 and a plain Intel Chipset, 4GB RAM) I get randomly freezes of the whole system. I can't reproduce that, what means I don't know a aplication or usage of the system making it freeze. sometimes I have uptimes of a day, without freeze and sometimes it freezes right after booting the system.

I found out, that sometimes the MagicSysRQ (R-E-I-S-U-B) works and let me shut down the system, sometimes not. I don't know what makes that difference. In the system log I can't find any unusual entries. But I foun that the system log is still runing, so shuting down the wifi with the notebooks hardware switch for example is logged. Also the Wifi network connection to my router is not interrupted.

I found this entry in the ubuntuforum, affecting this bug (at least partial other users describe the symptomes I found). But I think it is important to make a difference betweens users system wide freezes and freezes that only affect the mouse and keyboard.

I experience system wide freeze: Compaq Presario r3065us, P4 mobile, ATI 9200.

I use LiveCD, not being too brave to install an unstable OS.

The funny thing is that if I boot the system in the single mode ('init S' kernel option), drop to the root shell and start XOrg by calling startx, there are no hung ups.

If I boot the system in multi mode - it hangs in approx. 1 minute.

So, I'd guess that it's not the XOrg's fault, but the kernel's. I wonder if anyone can try the karmic kernel, and see if it works or not.

Consistent system freezing since installing Lucid. I've been through many of the fixes described in various forum threads and no joy. It happens randomly and results in a blank screen and total system lockup. A hard reboot is the only answer.

I've tested other OS's (Puppy and Fedora) and no such problem. Nothing in logs.

In my testing of this, I found that xorg will show 100% utilization. I can ssh into the system (but not vnc) when in this state. I can issue commands such as /sbin/halt or reboot.

The issue will occur after sometimes one minute and sometimes after several hours.

I was using ext4 as the file system. I've since backed off to Ubuntu 9.1 and have not experienced this behavior.

Hi florianr,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

According to StuartN (see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478787) using 2.6.33 mainline kernel solves the problem. However jonolumb still experiences freezes (far less ofthe though).

There is an interesting thing with the recovery/single mode. According to bdcalvert and me, It seems that if booted in single/recovery mode, there are no freezes (or at least the're far far far less frequent).

Ok, I now had two freezes shortly after an other.

Things changed a little, for now I had two freezes, where only the keyboard and screen was frozen but I could still move the mouse around on the screen but without the possibility to klik anything. But that kind of freeze is also reported in the forums thread I posted above.

Hi Florian,

I agree, my bug (586901) is a duplicate of yours - thanks for catching it. However, I would say kai's problem in the above comments is different, as I've never been able to ssh in after a freeze, and I gather you haven't either.

I see the exact same behaviour as you under the upstream kernel.... freezes where I can still move the mouse, but otherwise the same.

Hard for me to see it being graphics related, as I can still experiences freezes from a text console with X shut down (but with the system still under heavy load.)

Do you have VirtualBox installed?

Hmm yes I have VirtualBox installed but not using it at the moment, should I give it a try removing it? I can't imagine that VirtualBox without running affects the system in the way it happens here ...

I believe I see both of these conditions on the Intel dual-core Atom N330 motherboard.

I have a monitor with both DVI and VGA inputs. The board in question uses the VGA input. Fairly frequently, when I switch from DVI use back to VGA use, the screensaver is active. But the system is frozen. Pressing the CAPS LOCK key does not light the caps-lock light on the keyboard. The mouse does not work. At first, I thought USB was dead, but I cannot ssh to the box and a ping after that results in the report the system id down. A front-panel reset is all that revives the system. This is not new with 10.04, but seems very frequent with 10.04 now.

A second observation of a different scenario is that at times I seem to be unable to use the keyboard, nor can I use the mouse "inside an application window", but I can use the mouse to launch new applications. If I select the System Monitor, for example, it will launch, but I cannot select a specific process. However, I beleive that when I used a right-click, things started working again (memory foggy - it was late).

Most, but not all, of my lockups involve Thunderbird email being active, but not all. I also had VirtualBox installed, until I read this thread moments ago. Also, on a probably-unrelated sidenote, I use a ReadyNAS NAS unit. At some point, once of my systems, possibly this one, started waking the ReadyNAS every few minutes. I don't know if the nfs driver is doing something strange on this host, but that was not the normal ReadyNAS behavior on a system that was sitting idle.

I'm experience this bug too. As same as florianr, my screen is freeze. Sometimes my mouse (and keyboard maybe) stil can move, sometimes it doesn't. If mouse (and keyboard) still can move, Magic SysRq+REISUB works. But, if it doesn't move, Magic SysRq+REISUB not work at all.

Deleted Ubuntuone to no avail. Hopefully somebody will come up with something. Might wind up backing off to 9.10.

I removed virtualbox-3.2 just to eliminate outside code from the kernel, and because I saw a higher frequency of freezes with virtualbox running. System still froze with virtualbox removed.

Also tried going back to 2.6.32-21-generic, and still had the freezes. Three freezes so far today, with the system lightly loaded. Tried doing a DVD rip last night, and the system froze within seconds of starting the DVD rip.

Ran memtest for an hour.... no issues. Will try to run it overnight later in the week.

Priority should be at least high. I experienced over a dozen crashes last night, as I tried various kernels. Finally my system wouldn't boot anymore - just a grub> prompt, and no menu. (I think, because the system froze while I was installing an old kernel/headers.) Took me about 3 hours to figure out how to get it working again (complicated by my booting from software RAID, and by the fact that for some reason grub2 was never installed, and there was no grub menu on either boot disk).

Apart from the hours/days of lost time, now I'm quite nervous about losing data as well. I want to help improve the distribution, but I need a stable system.... will probably have to revert to karmic on the weekend.

Tons of crashes still and I agree priority should be high.

If I'm playing music when the crash occurs I sometimes get as much as 5 seconds of stuttering. The same chunk of audio (length perhaps half a second) will play repeatedly several times before black screen of death. On the basis of this the root problem must be to do with disk I/O cache imho..

databubble (phil-linttell) wrote :

I've had the same behaviour while playing audio... a few seconds of audio playing over and over again, and no other response from the system (except possibly ping...didn't check that when it happened.)

If it's related to disk I/O... I boot from a RAID-1 EXT4 root file system, assembled from 2 x 1TB SATA II drives. The only other FS is an EXT4 filesystem on a 1.5TB SATA II drive used for MythTV recordings.

Okay, some progress. I was on a screen showing the System Monitor and some processor load widgets when I experienced my most recent "freeze". The System Monitor window went blank, but I could still move the mouse, and I could the processor load widgets kept running.... I could see that both cores had gone solidly to 100%. I clicked on the desktop icon for konsole.... about 5 minutes later, I got a pop up message saying that the application couldn't be started. I let the system continue to run for almost 20 minutes... the mouse and keyboard froze, however the system still responded quickly to external pings, and there was regular flashing of the disk activity light.... which I believe was from an HD-PVR recording to a separate drive that was in progress at the time of the freeze.

So, it's not a "real" freeze... something is stealing 100% CPU time, such that you can't even toggle numlock on the keyboard. The kernel is still alive.... responding to networking pings, and the HD-PVR driver is still taking data from USB and storing it to disk.

So, I started hunting logs from the time of the freeze. The attached kern.log shows what happened during that very busy period. The following message seems to have been the start my systems "flash forward" ;-) .... more info in the log.

Me again. ;-) Checking my old logs further, I found 92 incidents of "BUG: soft lockup" from a variety of processes (kswapd, soffice.bin, mythbackend, firefox-bin, soffice.bin). In each case, the CPU (sometimes CPU#0, sometimes CPU#1... I only have two cores) is stuck for a reported 61s.

Googling "lucid BUG soft lockup 61s" reveals 100's of threads and dozens of related bug reports... not just ubuntu, either. Some suggesting it's KMS related, and that "nomodeset" in the kernel boot options is a possible work around. Will give it a try and report back.

It happens on a Compaq Deskpro ENL/P866 here. It's a Pentium III 866Mhz with an Intel 815 chipset and an Nvidia graphic card.

The system freezes randomly and Ctrl-Alt-SysRq-B is the only way to reboot.

It happens:
- with kernel 2.6.32-22
- in GUI

It DOESN'T happen:
- with kernel 2.6.31-21
- in text mode (tty)

Just tested with mainline kernel 2.6.34 #020634 and no freeze happens anymore.
Unfortunately, I'm stuck in 1600x1200 at 60Hz on 17" CRT with this kernel making the PC hardly usable for a long time.

I don't have virtualbox installed, so that's not related to my issues, still getting frequent freezes, not happening with upstream.

I had a freeze during the night, with the last message that was written kern.log:

Jun 3 01:21:47 family kernel: [13403.676449] do_IRQ: 0.177 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)

Examining the log more closely, I've had four freezes in the last 24 hours... in each case, there are between 1 and 4 incidents of "No irq handler for vector (irq -1)" in the log just before the freeze. In one case, the message was followed by the "CPU soft lockup" message just before the freeze.

However, there are a few incidents of "No irq handler for vector (irq -1)" which did not result in a freeze. And, I've had freezes just after the the "CPU soft lockup" message, where the "No irq handler" message didn't appear.

So, while neither "No irq handler" nor the "CPU soft lockup" message may be the smoking gun, there is at least the stench of gunpowder nearby.

This is back on the current lucid kernel 2.6.32-22-generic.

Hi!

I'm also affected by this very annoying bug.

I run Ubuntu 10.04 (updated from 9.10) with an old Athlon XP 2500 on an Asus a7n8x deluxe mainboard. My graphic device is an ATI Radeon 9200 SE.

However, I think I can reproduce this bug as my system freezes almost anytime I run Thunderbird.

For my system, last night's kernel reintroduced the bug. The kernel before did not have it.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-22-generic freezes.
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-21-generic does not.

Your mileage may vary.

With -21 I was able to go five days without a freeze.
With -22, I have five (5) freezes while using the system on one night.

I had 3 freezes yesterday. In each case the last entry in kern.log was:

do_IRQ: 0.189 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)
(Sometimes the number is 0.175, 0.177).

(Interestingly, there have been no instances of the "BUG: CPU soft lockup" messages in the last two days.

I ran a memory test overnight and it was clean.

I also tested kernel 2.6.31-02063112-generic, 2.6.34-020634-generic, 2.6.35-020635rc1-generic today. All of these froze.

In exasperation, I booted this morning with "noapic nolapic acpi=off" on the grub kernel parameters with current 2.6.32-22-generic. This disables all power management (as I understand it), such that my system is running full-out all the time.

The system has been running solid ever since. Even with torture testing it with a DVD rip in Handbrake, Virtualbox, MythTV recording and commercial flagging, an h264 transcode, and Amarok playing.... all running simultaneously. The DVD rip alone would have been enough to lock the system up within a few minutes without "noapic nolapic acpi=off".

This is not desirable work-around, or a long-term solution, but it at least lets me work for the moment, and allows me to continue helping debug rather than reverting back to karmic.

To re-iterated: this system has been working fine for over a year with karmic and jaunty, with power management. This is a regression with Lucid, and the issue is present with upstream kernels as well.

It would be very nice if someone could assign a more appropriate "High Priority" to this issue and we could get some attention from some devs before this bug report becomes a confused with too many un-related freezes.

Guys, i just found a solution on how to end the random freezing problem in Ubuntu 10.04. I have tried disabling the Visual Effects a.k.a. Compiz by going to Preference - Appearance - Visual Effects, then check the None button. Thats how I did with my system and there are no more random freeze. The bad thing is that there are no more visual effects but I can live with the Metacity features in Gnome. My system works faster, now that I turned off Compiz.

I still get freezes with Compiz on or off unfortunately. Cheers for the
heads up though, it might help others - that suggests that there is a
cause of freezing courtesy of compiz - might be a place for another bug
report.

I disabled proprietary nvidia drivers in Ubuntu 10.04 and Visual Efects changed to None. For now, it is working fine. Let us see what happens in the next hours.

Just so we don't get too many unrelated freezes being tracked in this thread... the symptoms characterized by florianr were:
- issue was NOT present prior to 10.04
- intermittent system-wide freezes
- frozen image on screen, showing the desktop image without any change and not taking mouse/keyboard actions
- sometimes MagicSysRQ (R-E-I-S-U-B) works, sometimes not.
- system log is still active for some time after the freeze appears to happen
- system logs do not contain any obvious/consistent message that identify the cause of the freeze
- issue is STILL present testing with upstream kernels (except that you may be able to continue moving the mouse or a period of time)
- not a memory issue
- system stays connected via wireless (if using wireless)
- issue appears on very different hardware (intel CPU and. AMD,; intel video and nVidia),
- not related to a specific desktop (gnome and kde) or a specific application (e.g. virtualbox, firefox, etc.)

From my own observations:
- a freeze can be provoked by running processes with high CPU (and possibly disk I/O) such as with handbrake
- I've been able to prompt freezes with no desktop or X server running.... although I don't know if florianr can confirm this on his system. As such, I doubt the problem can be compiz or xorg related (although, note that it may be processor load related, as as such something like compositing could make a system more likely to freeze)
- I can eliminate freezes by booting with kernel parameters "noapic nolapic acpi=off"

florianr, so we can see whether we're still dealing with the same bug or not, could you please verify:
- your system still responds to pings when "frozen" (and you can't ssh in)
- your system doesn't freeze if you boot with kernel parameters "noapic nolapic acpi=off"

Others, if your symptoms are different from those above, you may want to start a new bug report.

I have Lucid installed on three PCs. Here are the devices and status:

1. ThinkPad T41p
ATI FireGL (128 MB); Compiz enabled
Version: Lucid 32 bit upgraded from Karmic via Update Manager
Status: stable

2. ThinkPad T42
ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 (32 MB); Compiz enabled
Version: Lucid 32 bit; fresh install
Status: random freezing; always freezing at blank screensaver; freezing usually on Firefox or Chromium; freezes tend to be clustered (suspect possible issue with certain web sites which may be reloaded after hard reboot); this laptop was stable with Karmic and openSUSE 11.2 - no hardware issues are suspected

3. Custom Desktop (Intel Pentium D 805)
ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 (256 MB); Compiz enabled
Version: Lucid 64 bit; fresh install
Status: stable

I have scoured various blogs and forums and tried every suggestion I could find to stabilize the T42, including:
a. Custom xorg.conf
b. radeon.modeset=0 in GRUB (also tried nomodeset)
c. Set screensaver to other than blank screen (the laptop would still freeze at some point after the screensaver kicked in)

Initially, I thought that some changes had made a difference. However, the randomness of this issue can make a one hour freeze-free session seem like an improvement. Soon enough, though, I would find the system locking every two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, etc.

However, I think I have finally found a solution without downgrading to Karmic: I had seen where some users with Intel graphics cards had experienced success downgrading the kernel to linux-image-rt (2.6.31.10.12). While I certainly don't have a need for a real time kernel, this was the only kernel in the default Ubuntu Lucid repositories that was based on 2.6.31 and not 2.6.32. I didn't want to go with a nightly build or PPA. I wanted to stick with the stock repo, if possible. Sure enough, I've been operating nearly two full days without a lockup. The screensaver kicks in appropriately and comes out of screensaver mode (which the laptop previously had not done). In aggregate, I've had hours of use without any issue whatsoever. Previously, I would have expected anywhere from 4-12 freezes.

This laptop still has all the various changes that I've made, so I can't yet tell whether it is the kernel alone or if it is the downgraded (plus real time) kernel in conjunction with one of the other changes I have made. I will shortly rebuild this laptop with a custom remaster (using Remastersys) with the linux-image-rt kernel as the sole change. I expect this will work without any special change to xorg.conf or GRUB, but will report back if this fails and the freezes return

I spent about 3 month with my machine in single user recovery boot up which worked fine.
As soon as I go past init S into init 2,3,4,5 system hangs. Total system lock up.
If i tried to go back to init S after $ telinit 2,3,4,5 or $ init 2,3,4,5. it would still hang.
It would consistintly freeze or restart at about 30 after xserver started. Whether I logged in or not.
Nothing of interest in the log files. no errors, just normal messages.

I have not tried to ssh into the system.

I spent the last 2 days going through the /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc*.d/ to try and figure out why this was limited to runlevel above single user.
runlevel 2 through 5 are the same. Default in Ubuntu is init 2
$who -r # will show you what init level your are currently in.

I found the offending script to be in
$ file /etc/rc2.d/S99ondemand
/etc/rc2.d/S99ondemand: symbolic link to `../init.d/ondemand'

when i renamed it
$cd /etc/init.d/
$mv ondemand bk.ondemand

Boot back into normal standard ubuntu every thing is going fine now
$uptime
 14:17:43 up 1:04, 2 users, load average: 0.73, 0.68, 0.69

ondemand is the system CPU governor.
$ cat /etc/init.d/ondemand | grep -i short
# Short-Description: Set the CPU Frequency Scaling governor to "ondemand"

I hope that helps the debug team and give people a possible fix.

I was getting black screen freezes first on ubuntu, then on pclinuxos. Sometimes stable for up to a day - sometimes crashed 3/4 times in a day.
The issue appears to be finally resolved - I just installed new Debian release "squeeze" a couple of days back. No crashsince. Seems debian is living up to it's "rock solid" reputation so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed ... but so far so good.

The drivers that were packaged with lucid caused the system to freeze randomly on certain wireless networks. The drivers downloaded from Realtek worked better. However, all of what I've said holds for lucid ...

New Update: In my case the freezes were caused by a Logitech S510 KB/Mouse USB combo. Once I removed the receiver and went to a standard wired mouse and PS2 KB the pointer freezes are 100% cured.

The receiver has a PS2 option plug on a -Y- cable, but it also causes the freeze issue.

So if your using this or another wireless KB or Mouse, you might try to use a wired unit(s) to check if this cures the freeze issue.

For me, I'll bite the bullet for now an use a wired solution, To bad as the Logitech S510 KB is very nice (Mouse, not so much lol), so I used my old USB MX500 and left the combo mouse turned off.
Note: even with the USB MX500 unplugged, using the crappy mouse that came with the S510 combo the freeze still occurred.

Now using the USB MX500 and a old PS2 wired KB, the pointer freeze is no longer a issue for me.

Seems likely that there are multiple issues being encountered here, but I suspect that if you have Intel graphics and see 100% CPU usage by Xorg you may be encountering bug 599017.

florianr, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please capture the oops information noted in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Capturing_OOPs ? As well, can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone post information on what I can do to help track this problem down?

It doesn't lock up, it just freezes for a random amount of time, then continues on like nothing ever happened. No log entries, nothing. It didn't do this before, this is recent! Nothing has changed on the server. I suspect something that came in with a software update. Seems to only do it when I am telnet'ed in working on the command line. Very strange how it will hang... ... ... then carry on like nothing ever happened!

I am currently running 13.04 and the same problem is still present. It's been with me since 12.04

But now I have discovered a pattern to these freezes: My power cord is always unplugged when Ubuntu freezes.

I have a usage pattern that might have an impact: Whenever the screen saver is starting (the desktop is fading out), I push shift or move my mouse to avoid having to write the password. I know, it's odd behavior since I could just prolong the timeout.

Clearly this has to do with power management, anyway.
