Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

This is a MASTER bug report, i.e. not a real bug report, but a tool to help manage other bug reports.

Most bug reports on i845 are probably due to the CPU/GPU incoherency problem that is now consolidated upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26345 . For now, we mark all automatically reported GPU lockups as duplicates of this unless there is a reason not to.

To use the available fix, run the following commands:

apt-add-repository ppa:glasen/855gm-fix
apt-add-repository ppa:brian-rogers/graphics-fixes
apt-add-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver
aptitude update
aptitude install linux 855gm-fix-dkms
aptitude dist-upgrade

There is a similar master bug report for i855 at bug 541511.

It happens all the time now. Sometimes when I click a new link, sometimes when I open a new program or whatever. The screen doesn't get signal from the GPU anymore and complains.

It's pretty reliable, after 1-5 hours I always get a crash. Hope it can be fixed soon.

istoyanov (istoyanov) wrote : Re: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash)

Unfortunately, after my previous optimistic report, I have experienced several random crashes (combined with wrong resolution signal to the monitor) similar to these reported by Jerry. Basically, I use only the "nomodeset" boot option (i.e. removed the default "splash" and "quiet" to follow the boot process) but sometimes the gdm screen received a non-standard resolution that was reported by the monitor as "user setting" (and not as "1024x768"). This has led me to experiment a little bit by adding "Modes 1024x768" and "Modeline FREQ1-FREQ2" to a newly-created xorg.conf. Thereafter, the switch from the framebuffer to the gdm login screen seems to happen with the specified resolution applied, but sometimes, when clicking on the logout button or scrollling over the volume control icon X crashes and the monitor starts to switch between a black-white striped upper 1/2 (or third) and a completely blank screen. In this situation I cannot switch to a virtual console and the only way out is the ON/OFF button on the PC (this seems to trigger a clean switch-off). I'll test the updates that Bryce mentioned and will report here any further problems. Or should I open a separate bug-report for this?

The wall paper was "low resolution", the rest was OK. Every alternating line was wallpaper, and the other was old programs I've closed that "hung around, stuck" into the wallpaper!

I changed wallpaper and played with the settings -> BAM -> crash. No apport from this. Then after two restarts everything was fine, and I worked on the computer 4 hours yesterday with no problems... So it's still quite shaky.

After the update today, the "nomodeset" boot parameter seems to be non-functional and at the stage where the gdm screen should appear, the monitor switches off by "entering in power save mode". Switching to a virtual console wakes it up again, but after changing the driver to "vesa" this option doesn't work anymore.

Jerry has reported some crashes as well as freezes. This bug report is
about a freeze rather than a crash.

If what you are seeing is a crash there will be a backtrace in your
Xorg.0.log (usually, or check gdm logs). Also be aware that the
backtraces in your Xorg.0.log are fairly useless - instead you need to
collect a full backtrace using either apport or gdb. See
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for details.

On the other hand, if you're seeing a freeze (graphics are frozen, but
maybe the mouse works) you need to follow the directions on
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze to collect data needed
for these kinds of issues.

However, I think it's pretty well known at this point that upstream's
code is fairly buggered with i845, so if you have that video card, if
you have a freeze it's probably not worth putting in more bug reports
about it at this point. You can track the upstream bug report as it
progresses, and help them with testing things. Be aware you'll probably
be expected to patch and build new kernels in order to do this.

Beyond that, assuming a patch doesn't come to light, the one other knob
we have to fiddle with at the distro level is to blacklist KMS from this
hardware. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting for more info
about this and how to configure it off (basically boot i915.modeset=0)
so it uses UMS instead.

What we need is a convincing consensus among 845 owners that UMS works
better than KMS for the hardware, and then we can request the kernel
team to blacklist it.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze which is where this
should be documented. The info is kind of scant though (please help us
flesh it out better - it's a wiki, you can edit.)

Basically, you run the tool `intel_gpu_dump` to capture dumps.

Sorry, I was seeing a freeze. At least I think. I don't remember correctly anymore, the screen went black anyway.

But KMS is the way forward right? So once the bugs has been ironed out that's what we want? I've lost access to the computer for some time now.

Do note even though it says to boot "nomodeset" KMS is actually active. That just started happening today with the 1 April aptitude -q update safe-upgrade.

If the next crash is such that "ssh" will work I'll try the wiki directions.

Bryce, on 3 of my 4 test pc's Lucid Beta with updates from end of March through 1 April were dead or not really usable with KMS problems until I saw in the forums to use "i915.modeset=0" for the i830 and i845, even though they are not i915. The i830 (the one I'm using here) wouldn't even boot in "recovery" mode only rescued by doing ssh from another pc.

The ati Mobility 7500 also failed within 2 minutes of logging in to AOL mail until I put in "radeon.modeset=0".

All three were running O.K. on Karmic, with KMS on on the i845 and ati but "nomodeset" on the i830.

Jerry, the i915 in the i915.modeset=0 kernel parameter is the name of
the kernel driver, not the chipset. I don't know the historical
reasons for it being named i915 (possibly it was only used for i915
and newer in the beginning), but at least nowadays it is used on all
chipsets, including i830, 845G, and 855GM. The DDX driver used to be
i810, even though it was used on i915 and i945 as well, but now it has
been renamed intel (this is the one packaged in
xserver-xorg-video-intel).

Geir Ove Myhr (gomyhr) wrote : Re: MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash)

Ivailo, I attached your i915_error_state to the upstream bug report in case it is useful there. At least this does not seem to be the kind of freeze that would be fixed with xserver-xorg-video-intel from my PPA (I uploaded a new version based on the latest Lucid version today). For freeze bugs, dmesg output is more useful that Xorg.0.log (but both are fine). Especially with the kernel parameter drm.debug=0x02 does a lot of information about what is going on before the freeze end up in dmesg output.

We should consider if it makes sense to blacklist KMS for this chipset.

Jerry has indicated that by booting his system with i915.modeset=0 that it worked around the issue. I would like to see several more people confirming that it did similarly for them. Please test this.

If there seems to be a consensus favoring blacklisting KMS, then we'll reassign this bug to the kernel and have andy blacklist for us.

If anyone finds that their i845 system works *worse* with KMS turned off for some reason, please shout; I wouldn't expect turning KMS to cause regressions so this would be a surprise, but with i8xx weirder things have been known to happen!

One consideration to take into account, is if we move to UMS for i845, it means we will be entirely unable to get further upstream support on this chip, since any new patches they generate are going to be only for KMS cases. However 8xx has typically not received a high level of support priority upstream anyway, so i845 may be better off in UMS anyway. I have hopes we'll see things better squared away for i8xx KMS in Meerkat, but we'll see...

It looks like upstream is not going to have a fix in time for Lucid. What we can do instead is disable KMS for this chip - but we only want to do that if disabling KMS actually makes the driver more stable!

If you are experiencing these GPU freezes, could you please try and see if adding “i915.modeset=0” to your boot options after “quiet splash”.

I don't think Ubuntu had time to record anything useful but I ran ubuntu-bug xorg see Bug#558613 after booting up.

I'd strongly recommend "i915.modeset=0" default for both i845 and i830. Most of the time over the last year while Ubuntu has been working on KMS it has not worked on these video graphics, or if it does briefly a "dread update" makes them unstable.

If someone wants to turn KMS on and try it, O.K., but in my experience not for an ordinary user as default.

GL apps still work, but are painfully slow, but it beats not working at all. The above kludge was actually derived from the troubleshooting documentation.

At this point in time I am seeing the system crash/lock to the affected system is no longer on the network

in dmesg. And the machine stays on the network with the extra parameter.

The problem happens with both 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu2~gomyhr1~clipsolids and 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu1 on 2.6.32-19-generic.

If someone wouldn't mind reminding me how to setup a serial console for debugging this kind of annoyance I'll gladly collect as much debug information as upstream wants.

My two cents of things to do before Lucid ships are
1) Prominently include in the release notes that xserver-xorg-video-intel is broken.
2) Prominently include in the release notes the work around xorg.conf.
3) Repeat #1 and #2 in a recognizeably named file in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel along with this bug tracking number and upstream's bug tracking number.

If someone is feeling very creative, try having the crash hooks install that stub xorg.conf and reboot the system.

1) Booting with i915.modeset=0 *does* improve things - the system frequently hits a “hardware wedged” error, but is still responsive to ssh.
2) Without i915.modeset=0 the system will frequently freeze, and fail to respond to ssh.
3) Disabling DRI makes the system freeze less, but it will still freeze.

Have I misinterpreted any part of that?

Without the option I have currently 1 or 2 hard crashes a day, which is not pleasant but I can live with it since my desktop is not my "production" machine.
With the option the situation described above happens and at a much more frequent rate.

Brian Rogers (brian-rogers) wrote :

I don't expect disabling KMS to help overall. The nature of this bug is that it's timing-dependent, so just about any change can affect the stability for better or worse. On an affected system, I would often get a repeatable freeze on bootup after upgrading an unrelated package just because the new disk layout changed the timing of the boot process.

So you might get reports that disabling KMS helps, but I'd expect it to break as many systems as it helps.

This seems to be scaring me. So far 2 people have applied the patch and, both of them are reporting the jerkiness/slowness in viewing videos. Seems its quite observable. Slowness of few milliseconds is enough to spoil the user experience. I will let Ubuntu developers to take a note of this.

Video playback will suffer - there is no hardware acceleration in fbdev.
On the other hand, actually using the hardware video scaling in Intel
has been one excellently reproducible way to hang the GPU on some
people's chips.

Video scaling is the main case where hardware acceleration is faster
than doing it in software.

Thanks Chris Halse Rogers!

So, now (after the patch) the video scaling is happening in software rather than hardware. And this is causing the jerkiness. Hmm.. got it.

Chris, before Lucid the same Intel chips used to work quite well even with HD youtube videos. Could you please explain us what so fundamental changed in this release which is resulting into this behavior? And also why there is no way to rollback to the previous drivers on Lucid?

Would greatly appreciate this,

Next the dread "KMS" showed up where the kernel as it was booting up turned on video graphics mode. Oops, X windows uses video graphics mode too. Seems to me lots of problems co-ordinating the kernel use of video graphics vs. X windows use. Some of the developers claim KMS is a big advantage switching users since no graphics mode reset is needed. I never ever switch users. Ever. Also switching to command line with Ctrl-Alt-F1 and back to X with Ctrl-Alt-F7 works better too. Only time I ever do that is for chasing bugs where Ubuntu is broken big time. The developers also allude to some future plans which I haven't seen elaborated.

At various update levels the "KMS" code has killed my ati video graphics to say nothing of the many trials and tribulations on my two intel pc's.

That's my viewpoint just looking at Ubuntu as a "black box". I haven't the faintest idea why developers want to affect video graphics all the time as it runs just so switching users will go more smoothly. Must be some other reason....

Douglas, from a user standpoint what changed was adding the KMS graphics feature to the kernel so the command line kernel operates in graphics mode as well as the regular gdm graphics display mode. Presumably this allows faster switching between users and I don't know what else. I never switch between users so I don't get any benefit. Also, switching to the kernel by doing Ctrl-Alt-F1 is faster because there isn't any graphics mode resetting. I only ever do that when I'm attempting to deal with a bug or doing bug reporting. Time saved by not resetting the video graphics mode is miniscule to me.

From the user's view, the kernel graphics mode and the gdm don't seem to be well coordinated at all. The kernel fires up graphics mode, you can tell with the tiny print, then X windows starts later setting the graphics mode again and the two do not seem to be working together so crash!

Developers have also alluded to some future KMS things they want to do that I'm not aware of.

At the moment both my i830 integrated video graphics and my i845G integrated video graphics run with the latest Release Code level of ubuntu, no changes required. Note I only use "quiet" and not "quiet splash" since splash is always the same and does not add any new info, and has a history of causing video graphics problems. So booting up I just look at a black screen with a blinking underline in the top left corner for a few seconds until gdm starts.

First real trouble I had with video graphics was Compiz on Intrepid so it is blacklisted. Compiz is "gdm eye candy" and has nothing to do with my running applications which I do full screen anyway.

Hang in there. Jerry

This reproduces the problem consistently (gnome-screensaver is installed):

System|Preferences|Screensaver.

By default, AntSpotlight is selected. After a couple of seconds the screen goes blank, sometimes with vertical zebra stripes.

syslog contains:

So after a reboot (pressing the power button seems to more-or-less cleanly shutdown), at GRUB, I've pressed 'e' to edit and after "quiet splash" I've added "i915.modetest=1" (no quotes).

After that, I can go to the screen saver preferences and there is no black screen/"crash". Screensaver comes in after the specified time and works, probably slowly, though.

However, I then realised that "modetest" should have been "modeset". So, not surprisingly,
syslog reports:

kernel: [ 18.768163] i915: Unknown parameter `modetest'

If I use modeset=0, or modeset=1, then the blanking/"crash" still happens when I go to the screensaver preferences.

So, modetest=0 or modetest=1 (either one avoids the blanking) is doing *something*. But what, and why?

Anyway, I'm happy to live with this until the official release of Maverick, which hopefully will solve things.

@oblong: What adding the “modetest” option to i915 is doing is causing an error which prevents it from loading - the module doesn't recognise that option, so fails to load.

This ends up in the X server selecting a different driver, probably vesa, which won't have the same problems the intel driver has.

It's not clear to me what the status of this bug is right now, but for anyone experiencing the issue and/or still working on it, I thought I would add some details that might be useful.

I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx on an eMachines T2824.

kernel = 2.6.32-31-generic
graphics = Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)

I have the lucid-proposed repository enabled with all updates as of today applied. No special PPAs or other software sources are enabled.

Machine will reliably lock up with zebra-stripes/flashing/non-recoverable symptoms as described by other users but can ssh in and usually will be given the option to revert to a console on the affected machine.

I have found that if I disable the screensaver, screen effects, and power management, the machine will run for a very long time without problems (days to weeks), but I do not use this machine for anything graphic-intensive.

Since it seems like the precise cause of this issue is not well understood, the one piece of information I wanted to point out for developers is that I found if I set the Appearance Preferences to use Clearlooks, this same machine will reliably lock up fairly quickly (usually within the first 60 minutes after login). On reverting to Ambiance, this behavior stopped. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but it seems reproducible and might be helpful in identifying the exact trigger. Trying to use various screensavers (especially OpenGL-based ones) will also reliably cause a crash.

If there's anything I can do to help resolve this issue, I am happy to do so. This note is mainly for other people who are experiencing the issue and want a workaround that doesn't involve installing non-standard packages.

Also: Anyone who has their screensaver stuck on a "bad" one and can't change it back, see the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=651868 to use gconf-editor to change it to blank only. From there, you can open the screensaver settings and disable it.

It seems that the intel driver is completely disabled for LTSP-Clients to avaid this bug. However, the clients then fall back to the really (really!) slow VESA driver and software rendering. This makes a really poor user experience on natty, with many of the software distributed with edubuntu near to unusable (e.g., celestia, stellarium).

Hello Alkis,
in what sense does this bug no longer affect ltsp? I still have massive GPU lockups with the intel driver on our ltsp clients. This is a huge problem for us.
Lockups do happen in almost every session, markedly when scrolling windows. The session freezes for some seconds, then windows contents appear scrambled with old content not erased and new content printed over it.

This problem does not seem to occur on a standalone system, but it does in ltsp sessions.

So please: this DOES affect ltsp.

I confirm that graphics run a lot more stable now, however, the issue is not gone:

I had been working around the lockups by setting
  Option "DRI" "false"
  Option "Shadow" "true"
in my xorg.conf

Recently, I wondered if the problem still exists, and I removed these lines. The machines ran quite stable in day-to-day life, but I could still reproducibly crash the GPU running the demo of "celestia (Gnome)" (part of the edubuntu package).

The weird thing is that after approx. one week, crashes started to increase a lot, and I had to reenable the DRI/Shadow workaround. Note that these machines are LTSP clients, all graphics goes across the network.

I have the impression that GPU lockups occur when network traffic is high, i.e., X needs to wait for graphics data more often.

All in all, things have improved a lot, but the problem has not "magically disappeared". I don't believe it's fixed.
