[drm:atom_op_jump] *ERROR* atombios stuck in loop for more than 1sec aborting

[Angel Guzman Maeso]

Binary package hint: xorg

When I try to suspend the laptop it fails showing this messages on screen:

$ cat /var/log/syslog | grep "drm:"

This appears to have been solved at source:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32066

Seeing as this is an error that occurred *after* 10.10 was released (it broke some weeks after), what are the chances of having the mentioned patch applied to 10.10?

The patch that apparently fixes it:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=41218

Unfortunately, my I haven't compiled a kernel since 1995, so I'm not really in a position to test this (without guidance).

Note, this is a kernel bug, not an xorg one.

It is still present, preventing resume every time.

Using Natty with new kernel, the issue seems to be fixed:

 $ uname -a
Linux steros 2.6.38-3-generic-pae #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 10 00:54:59 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Thanks!

[Upayavira (uv)]

Is it possible to get a later kernel for Maverick, to try?

Upayavira

[Upayavira (uv)]

Seems the kernel update that came in a few days ago may have fixed this. Fingers crossed (I've seen it come and go before, but not seen it work this consistently).

[Johannes Daprà (johannes-dapra)]

Sorry to dissapoint you Upayavira, but it happend to me just now with kernel 2.6.35-27-generic (i assume it is the one you're speaking about)

Is it normal, that this bug doesn't occur every time on tries to suspend the computer? Because it worked today, and 1 h later the bug came again. Could it have something to do with the wireless? because the first time it was off and the second time it was on (with the mechanic switch)

[Upayavira (uv)]

Johannes,

You are, unfortunately, correct - it was a blip. I installed the latest 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 kernels from the Ubuntu Kernel PPA, and neither of them seemed to resolve it :-(

[roy.nico (roy-nico)]

I confirm the same issue, with Maverick 64bit on my Laptop Hp Touchsmart Tm2.
It happens not every time, but randomly. For me, not only while trying tu suspend, but also when trying to shutdown. It shuts down eventually, but need near 3 or 4 minutes.
:(

[madbiologist (me-again)]

The abovementioned fix is included upstream in kernel 2.6.37 - see the changelog at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.37

As the original reporter has confirmed the fix on Natty, I'm marking this bug as Fix Released.

Upayavira - if you are still having problems with the 2.6.37 kernel then you have a different bug and should file a new bug report.

[Marcin Janowski (janowski-m)]

I have this in 12.10 on Acer Aspire 4820TG

[madbiologist (me-again)]

@Marcin - Please file a new bug so that we can get copies of your log files and hardware information.
