[ 18.132039] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled

This probably has something to do with the load order of the intel modules; intel-ips does its job before the i915 driver has a chance to be loaded.

[AttilioSuccio (ehol)]

I have the same problem too.
I am currently on ubuntu maverick RC and that problem wasn't there with ubuntu lucid
The performance of glxgears is terrible, considering the fact that I am on a i5 430 and 4gb ram. Ubuntu 64 bit.
My dmesg is very similar to the one attached (execpt for the nouveau drivers, because my laptop is a hybrid graphic one)

Same message in Toshiba Satellite L650-11F (Radeon HD5650). Is this problem caused by the integrated gpu in intel i5 cpu?

Same with Samsung r780. Might have something to do with the combination of on-board Intel graphics chip and additional NVidia graphics card.

[Jimmy Wylie (jimbodwin)]

I have this problem on a Thinkpad t410s. Further, whenever I plug my computer into an external monitor, the display on the external monitor looks funky, with wavy lines etc.. like the refresh rate isn't set correctly. just to be sure, I checked for the problem in windows, and don't have an issue using an external display. I've tested this problem on two different projectors, and two different monitors (I have to give presentations fairly often). My thinkpad has an i5-540m processor.

I'm also having this problem. And since about a week ago my system has suddenly started to freeze randomly several times every day. I think the freezes has something to do with the nvidia driver because I'm getting loads of "NVRM: os_raise_smp_barrier(), invalid context!" in the messages log. But I'm not I'm not sure weather it's related to this error or not?

[AceLan Kao (acelankao)]

There is a work around
1. add intel_ips to the blacklist
   echo "blacklist intel_ips" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
2. add i915 and intel_ips to /etc/modules
   echo -e "i915/nintel_ips" >> /etc/modules

[hawthornso23 (hawthorn)]

The workaround in #25 gives different errors. I see in dmesg

[drm:i915_init] *ERROR* drm/i915 can't work without intel_agp module!

[JLimperg (jannis-limperg)]

No errors here; the workaround seems to work. However, I did not notice any improvements (boot speed, performance etc.) as well.

For system specs see #13.

[tomko222 (tomko222)]

With #25 fix no errors in my computer now. Toshiba L650-11F: intel i5, radeon hd 5650.

Correction:

i also see an error in dmesg:

[Nigel Pallett (nigelp)]

Should point 2 the workaround in #25 read as follows ? :

2. add i915 and intel_ips to /etc/modules
   echo -e "i915\nintel_ips" >> /etc/modules

i.e. "\n" instead of "/n

[mans zigher (mans-zigher)]

I have the same problem on my DELL Latitude E5510. I am not sure if this is the solution but at the http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ mailing list I the have made a patch which is not included in the ubuntu kernel (at least I could not find it). I am going to try and patch a kernel but if some one else would like to try here it is http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2010-December/009017.html.

[mans zigher (mans-zigher)]

I forgot to say I am running kubunt 10.10 with kernel 2.6.35-25-generic.

It worked for me. I followed the steps in http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2010/11/06/how-to-compile-a-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-kernel/ but before building I patched the kernel with the patch from http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2010-December/009017.html.

I tried the kernel supplied by Manoj on #36. I'm running Maverick amd64 on a Samsung QX410 with dual graphics (integrated intel + NVidia 330M) and also have the "graphics turbo disabled" message, although I see no decreased functionality with Intel graphics (I haven't tried to enable the NVidia chipset with the matching drivers).

Anyway, the kernel (I had to --force-architecture) does not work, the system hangs with

request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c

[alecive (alecive)]

Same problem on SONY VAIO VPCS12C5E, running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 with 2.6.38-7-generic-pae (Natty kernel I think). My CPU is i5-450M, and I also have a dual graphic (NVidia 310M + integrated Intel).

A question: doing the workaround I'll simply remove that message or I'll improve my system? I didn't fully understood.. :)

Tested with 64 bit 2.6.38.1 kernel from http://duopetalflower.blogspot.com/2011/03/custom-kernel-26381-ubuntu-amd64.html which seems to have completely removed the problem (not just the message) for me:

Used to face this problem in Ubuntu 10.10, when I upgraded to 11.04 the problem disappeared. Then I installed Burg and the problem started again. Removing of burg just stopped the display of i915 message. The boot screen and shut-down screen of Ubuntu still appears in low-resolution, 8-bit color. No other problems due to this.

[Luís Carlos Do Vale Lopes (euluism)]

Same problem there

[hawthornso23 (hawthorn)]

This is still a persistent problem with me on my Dell E6510 with i5 processor.
Unlike some, I still had the problem after upgrading to natty.
In an effort to fix it I upgraded to a version of the 2.6.39.3 kernel
compiled with corei7 as native which some people said fixed the problem.
It didn't work for me.

OK - I reason. If the problem is modules loading out of order, then lets get rid of the whole module loading issue completely.
So I compiled a 2.6.39.3 kernel with all components involved actually compiled into the kernel and not merely compiled as modules. The results are ... interesting.

The bug seems "confirmed" for 3 years, hm, so, I confirm it again :)

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Edward Lee, 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 test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, 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 (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. 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-v3.13-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

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.
