Bugzilla – Bug 617530
Complete system freeze, maybe X11/DRI related
Last modified: 2011-02-25 08:28:07 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.4; Linux) KHTML/4.4.90 (like Gecko) Since the update to 11.3 RC1, I get daily complete freezes: * does not react to mouse moves and keyboard presses (even Ctrl+Alt+F1 does not work) * background processes stop running (there is no further HDD activity, even there should be running compilation processes running in VT2) * sometimes the beeper/speaker makes a loud continuous beep while it freezes, even there was no previous sound activity (which is the reason I suspect it is a kernel issue) I got this sometimes while viewing MPlayer full screen, several other times while just working with KDE windows. I've set KWin to OpenGL mode on intel 945 chipset, so it may be related to DRI kernel modules. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Maybe https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/585734 is related After the report, I switched off OpenGL compositing and got no lockup since then.
I updated to latest packages available in factory (Mesa 7.8.2, intel 2.12.0, kernel 2.6.34-12 etc.), rebooted, and enabled Compositing in KWin 4 to try it again. After a few minutes, I got a full system hang; I had to forcefully power off the system. To me, this is a blocker, as KDE4 enables compositing per default in OpenGL mode, and intel 945 chipset should be fairly common on notebooks. I have changed back to no compositing, and will not retry unless someone states that this is fixed, or gives instructions how I can help debugging the issue.
Can you enable crash dumps on this system and reproduce?
I searched a bit about the freezes/hangs, and it seems to be an intel driver issue. http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26016 Please close as upstream, I will ask there how to best provide logs.
I am not 100% sure, there are several related bug reports at freedesktop.org, some of them assigned to DRM/intel, some in xorg/drivers/intel, some in Mesa/drivers/intel. But https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28788 says it has been fixed, so you might ask them what component(s) need to be updated/patched, so that 11.3 will rock!
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25345 comment #32 shows two patches from kernel 2.6.35-rc5 that are supposed to fix the hang. Please decide if you can backport the patches to the 2.6.34 openSUSE kernel.
(In reply to comment #6) > https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25345 comment #32 shows two > patches from kernel 2.6.35-rc5 that are supposed to fix the hang. HI, does this kernel help? http://labs.suse.cz/jslaby/bug-617530/
I stress tested it several hours with multiple videos, full screen GL apps, and KWin composited window management, and got no freeze so far. So it looks fixed, thanks!
I committed that.
also tested it on two systems and perform well. No crashes after several days of use (initially it would crash within an hour @ work)

Are there going to be online updates for 11.3 to fix this or not?
(In reply to comment #12) > Are there going to be online updates for 11.3 to fix this or not? Yup, it will be there.
How will this be fixed in Factory, The next kernel? Is it fixed in 2.6.35.1-1.1 ? I was running kernel 2.6.35-rc5 and still had the crashes when the Screen Saver comes on, so as of my kernel 2.6.35-rc5 it was not fixed.
I just installed 11.3 final on my laptop and ran into this issue. Has a fix been pushed out through the update system yet? As far as I can tell a fix has not been released through the update system? This is a show stopping flaw and not having a fix for it is simply unacceptable. I seem to have resolved it by switching to the intel-legacy driver as suggested in bug 615649 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615649#c40). I was using the latest version of Kubuntu but I've been having some minor issues with it so I decided to switch to OpenSuse for a little while at least to see if it was better. I really want to like OpenSuse but this type of MAJOR FLAW makes it really difficult. I'm capable enough to work around these types of things if I have to, but a regular user isn't. If you want to even stand a chance of competing with Ubuntu you can't afford these types of mistakes. I've been looking for a high quality KDE focused Distro and I was hoping that OpenSuse would be it. Because of this bug my first impression was very poor. I really hope I don't have any more major issues. I really want to like OpenSuse.

If they use the latest kernel at all. And I committed that into master (factory) today.
I cannot test kernel from comment 7. It is i586-only binary and I have x86_64. But I took two patches referred in comment 6 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25345#c32 and backported them to the 11.3 kernel (see patches.addon): https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=kernel-source&project=home%3Asbrabec%3Abranches%3AopenSUSE%3A11.3%3AUpdate%3ATest You can test kernels from here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/sbrabec:/branches:/openSUSE:/11.3:/Update:/Test/standard/ My kernel still freezes in a fullscreen flash, just the backtrace changed.

Yeah, and if anybody want to test it, feel free to use kotd: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/openSUSE-11.3/ or the project I mentioned at: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-11.3/openSUSE_11.3/ (if you don't need Stanislav's patch for Adaptec USB<->SCSI support) BTW. the patches were added to the upstream 2.6.34.4 kernel.
Well, if you plan to provide a more complex update than just these two patches, then it may be OK. Fullscreen Flash did not cause any freeze in ~10 minutes. I will keep this kernel installed and continue in testing. Note: Please link packages preload and maybe lirc to your repository to not break 11.3 dependencies. (No change in package source is required, just a link to get them rebuilt in the new kernel context.)
(In reply to comment #20) > Note: Please link packages preload and maybe lirc to your repository to not > break 11.3 dependencies. (No change in package source is required, just a link > to get them rebuilt in the new kernel context.) Sorry, this is not my repo. This is what we have in 11.3 kernel git built on a regular basis :). Jeff or Michal may help with linking the package, maybe...
We have a kabi breakage in the 11.3 branch, which is why the dependencies are broken. I haven't had time yet to look into it, will do now.
I reported Bug #627901 which happens to be related to this bug. While waiting for the Update, I was advised there to run kernel with 'nomodeset' and turn off desktop effects.In KDE4, that affects font rendering, which becomes smudgy.My resolution fell to 1024 x 768. After a while of working, the folder view loses it's frame (container) and only the content of folder view are seen.In a locked screen, there is a rectangular artifact on top right hand corner.When I login, the panel loses it's theme.In krunner, text is not seen. If I run with any of the options alone( nomodeset, turn-off desktop effects), I have a partial freeze.I can switch to VT, but no command fully executes. My graphics chip is i915GM.
(In reply to comment #23) > My graphics chip is i915GM. Ok, the mandatory question: have you tried the kernels proposed in c#19?
(In reply to comment #24) > Ok, the mandatory question: have you tried the kernels proposed in c#19? No.I do not intend to as on this machine I cannot afford experimental stuff. I provided description of all the annoyances only so that that may help understand the problem better.I am not complaining. Whenever the updated kernel is pushed to Updates, I will take it.For the present I will live without desktop effects + with nomodeset.

I installed the kernel-desktop from the repository (RPM file kernel-desktop-2.6.34.4-1.1.x86_64), but the experience the same freezing effect after some time of work. My Laptop is an Acer TravelMate 6292 with Intel Graphic Mobile GM965/GL960 running openSuSE 11.3.
I have also reproduced Willy's observation. I've updated the kernel to 2.6.34.4-1-desktop (using http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-11.3/openSUSE_11.3/ per comment 19) and still experience the system freeze. Lenovo T60 laptop with Intel 945GM.
(In reply to comment #26) Quite happily I withdraw my comment #26. The freeze only happened once a few minutes after rebooting the system with the newly upgraded kernel. Since then I had no more freeze even so I turned KDE4 effects on again and tested them quite intensively - i.e. I made a lot of movements back-and-forth between windows and panels. Since I don't know what caused the above mentioned freeze, I cant say whether it was related to the problem I experienced since upgrading to 11.3. Nevertheless tend to believe the kernel upgrade helped.
I'm closing this once again. For those for who the kernel update doesn't help, it is a different issue. I ask you then to install and setup kdump (using yast). After the freeze happens (and if it is a kernel crash), the kdump kernel should write a crash dump. Otherwise, if it only an X freeze, you should append Xorg.0.log from the last run (probably with .old suffix if you booted into X again) and corresponding /var/log/messages. In any case, create a new bugzilla entry with the info above attached.

I think the reason I didn't see it in Ubuntu is because they were using older kernel and X versions which don't have this issue. I'll try the kernel upgrade and see if it helps. There are a lot of little things in OpenSuse that I like. I like that you guys replaced the horrible GTK file dialog with the good QT file dialog. I also like the enhancements in OpenOffice. My impression so far is that OpenSuse is a high quality KDE distro. Thanks again for all your hard work and patience.
Has the fix made it into http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/ yet because i am running 2.6.35.1-3.2-default and it freezes just as easily and crappy as before? Ill go back to the factory oss repo and try it there.
Are you serious? Are you kidding me? I went over a year in 11.2 running compiz and opengl screensavers having up times of months. I went back to 2.6.34-14.8-default from 2.6.35.1-3.2-default and absolutely nothing has been fixed. I am running an intel GM4500 graphics chip and I have the same problems I had when 11.3 came out that everyone else is having. I cant even run a screen saver for 3 seconds without either a total lock up that requires a 5 sec off button, or if im lucky I can ctrl-alt-backspace and restart X. Im reopening it. Maybe next time close it after fixing it. I cant believe no one else is having issues still. Can someone honestly say that they can turn on compiz and then go run the screensaver KCometen4 or Euphoria and leave it for 30 min and it wont be frozen when they come back?
I use openSUSE 11.3 in HP2230s with Intel GMA4500. If I activate kwin this problem always happens. I try the kernel 2.6.34.4 in comment #19, it does not help. Upgrade to 2.6.35 from kernel:HEAD also not much different. I read on another report that someone activate intellegacy to solve this problem, but it does not work for me. If you need more info please tell me. I plan to install openSUSE 11.3 in hundred of PCs for public schools with Intel GMA4500 in the early September maybe I should change the plan if this problem doesn't fix

I tried the intel-legacy thing first and it worked. This issue is truly annoying and it's frustrating that this is still broken over a month after the release. I'm going to try the intel-legacy thing without the extra repo to see if that works.
I have been running Opensuse 11.3 Gnome Desktop for the last three days and I have done my routine work in that period.But I haven't had a single hang / crash in this time.I have run LXDE also for some time and have not come across this crash.This bug seems to be exclusive to KDE.

I wrote that if you still encounter any problems, you have a different issue and you should open a separate bug.

Yeah, it is highly likely that there are other patches needed, but do not taint this bug report. Open a new one, attach the last Xorg log, kernel log, if it is a crash where the kernel oopses (caps/numlock blinks), then also a crash dump.
(In reply to comment #37) > Yeah, it is highly likely that there are other patches needed BTW. I personally am hit by a bug in X: bug#597078. It may be your case too.
