10de:0652 [Samsung NP-R710-AT01NL] Nouveau freezes after suspend/resume in Ubuntu 13.04 / 3.8.0

[Bert Massop]

Before updating to Raring yesterday, I first fully disabled the Xorg-edgers PPA (by ppa-purge) and was therefore switched back to the Nouveau driver. Then updated my system from Quantal to Raring. Afterwards, I noticed that after a suspend/resume the greeter would not appear or hang completely. I was intermittently able to move the cursor, but the GUI would not respond to hovering or clicking.

I did not experience this bug in Quantal with kernel 3.5, but I rather quickly switched to the proprietary driver for performance reasons.

I am on a laptop with NVidia GeForce 130M video card on Raring with kernel 3.8.0, no experimental drivers in use. Attached is also a dmesg log from a previous time this occurred, with me trying to recover from the situation by various means - there are a lot of nouveau-related error messages in it. Ctrl-alt-backspace does nothing, SysRq+K does what it is supposed to do but to no avail, restarting lightdm obviously does not help.

To reproduce:
1. Boot
2. Suspend
3. Resume

Observed behaviour:
The greeter does not appear or hangs completely, switching to another VT is initially impossible, after a certain period of time nouveau starts spitting out error messages to the screen and it is then again possible to switch to another VT. Sometimes X randomly restarts and shows the boot-time greeter, where I can log in, but after that the system freezes again.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[thndsr (stijnverwaaijen)]

The same thing is happening on my machine after a fresh install yesterday. Videocard is GeForce 210.

[Bert Massop (bert-massop)]

Just accidentally suspended my machine after several hours of uptime - so here's another dmesg transcript.

It contains some more error messages that I did not see the previous time. After resume, this time my screen remained black. After about 15 seconds a lot of error messages filled my screen, and then lightdm seemingly restarted showing me the boot-time greeter. I was then able to switch back and forth to another VT. After trying to log in through the greeter, the screen went black again. Pressing SysRq+K after a while made the empty Unity desktop appear, yet completely frozen with my keyboard lights indicating a kernel panic.

[Bert Massop (bert-massop)]

And another freeze + corruption, this time just at random during use (just firefox and gnome-terminal, nothing too special). Once again, lightdm respawned automatically (with a functional greeter) but the screen corruption remained, totally freezing after login.

Find attached the relevant excempt from kern.log. Events: at 14603 the power cord is unplugged (switch to battery power), at 16009 the desktop freezes (while trying to unhide the Unity main sidebar, which I have hidden by default), I press ctrl-alt-backspace to try to restart X (nothing happens), the screen gets corrupted while the greeter appears, I try to ctrl-alt-backspace another time, then try to login, then the screen freezes completely. Finally, I do a SysRq+REISUB to recover.

[Bert Massop (bert-massop)]

While we're at it, a (bad, sorry) photograph of the screen corruption.

[Jan Ypma (jypma)]

I'm having the same problem on a Macbook Pro 3,1. Booting through BIOS emulation, not EFI.
My card is a GeForce 8600M GT: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G84M [GeForce 8600M GT] (rev a1)

After suspend, sometimes laptop will freeze (showing desktop with non-moving mouse cursor), other times it will come back with functioning mouse, but black display, which will eventually crash X. Restarting X doesn't restore functionality.

It might be OpenGL-related, as restarting X into just lightdm works fine; not until unity and compiz come along do things go weird.

Bert Massop, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

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

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

In Saucy daily (Linux 3.10.0-6-generic x86_64, downloaded August 8 2013) running from live USB the problem still occurs consistently. The symptoms remain unchanged.

Find attached the dmesg output after suspend/resume failure (from apport-cli, I could not use apport-collect after failure due to not getting the WiFi back up from command line). The previous few messages originate from apport-collect, which I ran just before trying to suspend/resume (in a perfectly workable system state).

Once I find the time to do an actual installation (on external harddisk) I will report back on the results with the current kernel.

[Bert Massop (bert-massop)]

Tested on Saucy daily (equipped with Linux saucy-test 3.11.0-031100rc4-generic #201308041735 SMP Sun Aug 4 21:36:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

Symptoms feel just slightly different, but that may just have been coincidence. After resume I am still experiencing behaviour such as black screen with just (moving) mouse pointer, slow VT switch, nouveau crash (similar console output as before) and graphics freeze on lightdm restart. This bug is definitely not fixed in v3.11-rc4.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Bert Massop, could you please provide the full computer model as noted on the sticker?

[Bert Massop (bert-massop)]

Cristopher, the offending machine is a Samsung R710-AT01NL. Its vendor product code is NP-R710-AT01NL, with EAN code 8808993311064.

Please let me know if you need more information or if there is anything for me to try.

[Bert Massop (bert-massop)]

My system already has the most recent BIOS (11SV). That is the exact same version as the update in your link.

For your information, the output of 'sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date':

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Bert Massop, just to clarify, when you were using Quantal, did suspend work with both nvidia and nouveau drivers?

[Bert Massop (bert-massop)]

I cannot recall having observed any nouveau suspend failures, but that might have had to do with switching to NVidia proprietary before having suspended. At least for NVidia suspend worked just fine.

I will soon test Quantal to sort this out.

[Bert Massop (bert-massop)]

Meanwhile, writing this using Quantal (LiveUSB) after having been through a few suspend/resume loops including some light web browsing in between, I feel comforable concluding that the suspend/resume problems did not occur with Quantal on nouveau.

To wrap it up: I experience(d) no problems under Quantal with regard to suspend/resume, using either the nouveau or the NVidia proprietary driver.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Bert Massop, the next step is to bisect with nouveau enabled between Quantal and Raring, in order to identify the commit that caused this regression. Could you please do this via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

[Wolf Rogner (war-rsb)]

The symptoms can be observed on a MBP Retina 15" and 13.10 as well.

On 13.04 the machine goes havoc so I used Nvidias drivers.

[Bert Massop (bert-massop)]

Results so far, using the Raring "linux" package builds.

This bug is first introduced in the transition from 3.7.0-7.15 (good; the last 3.7-based kernel; based on mainline 3.7.0) to 3.8.0-0.2 (bad; the first 3.8-based kernel; based on mainline 3.8.0-rc3).

Quite sadly, there are 12407 commits inbetween those two tags. I will try to commit-bisect those (should take about 15 steps), but with all the building involved this may take a while to complete. Thank you for your patience.

[Israel Dahl (israeldahl)]

Still present in Trusty :(
