[HD3300] Kubuntu: logout crashes X on AMD64

[Toby Meehan]

Fresh install of Kubuntu 9.04 AMD64 on new hardware (ASUS M4A78T-E) with onboard ATI Radeon HD 3300 video.

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

KDE Desktop effects are not enabled. Using the open source driver, not the proprietary ATI driver.

lspci shows this for video controller:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3300 Graphics

I logout of KDE 4. Expect to be prompted with KDE login screen. Instead, screen goes to text mode with this text:

===

* Starting deferred execution scheduler atd
* Starting periodic command scheduler crond
* Checking battery state...
* Reloading Common Unix Printing System: cupsd
* Reloading system log daemon...

I wait about 5 minutes and nothing more. So use Alt-F1 to get command prompt and look around. No KDE processes running. Find this in /var/log/kdm.log:

I ended up just rebooting from the command line. System booted up and I was able to login again. I've not had any other problems with video. This happens everytime I logout. Reboot and shutdown work without issue.

Let me know if you need any more diagnostic info.

It appears the X server crashed, bringing KDE along with it. Let me know if you need any more diagnostic info.

I have the same problem, with the same trace, on a X-86 32 bits.
My computer is a Dell Studio 540 and I've upgraded from Kubuntu 8.10 to Kubuntu 9.04

Hi themeehans,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

[Toby Meehan (themeehans)]

Reproduced issue. Attached files requested.

[Chan Chung Hang Christopher (diverse-computing)]

May the bug should be filed against xorg and not the ati driver. I have a similar if not an identical problem but with the VIA UniChrome chip.

1) Install Kubuntu Jaunty and update to the latest packages and install
and enable sshd. Boot latest kernel.

2) Login. Logout. Login. Logout. Screen now goes blank, keyboard does
not respond anymore, ctrl+alt+backspace does not kill X.

3) ssh into box. 'sudo killall -HUP kdm' to 'resolve' blank screen after
second logout attempt. Login screen should now appear. (or I guess switch to a terminal except that Ctrl+Alt+F1 did not work for me)

[Toby Meehan (themeehans)]

Upgrading to Kubuntu 9.10 x64 fixed this bug for me.

[mpGoodwin (martin-launchpad-goodwin)]

I have this exact problem with Kubuntu 9.10. I'll attach Xorg.0.log, Xorg.0.log.old and

[mpGoodwin (martin-launchpad-goodwin)]

output of sudo lspci -vvnn

[mpGoodwin (martin-launchpad-goodwin)]

Xorg.0.log.old

[abemud (abemud)]

I have 32bit and use radeon driver. 9.10 still doesn't work. But after configuring the driver to use XAA instead of EXA, logout never crashes or hang.

During normal usage, the driver still hangs but rarely. Overall the driver is bad.

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.

[bugbot (bugbot)]

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
