RAOFHello, x86-64 assembly reference.  Do you have 400 pages worth of instruction definitions?  You do?  Guess it's lucky there's code already written!00:00
bryceh_dang sun, get out of my eyes and off my monitors00:05
bryceh_RAOF, did you see bug 732809?00:20
ubot4`Launchpad bug 732809 in mesa (Debian) (and 1 other project) "mesa update to 7.10.1-0ubuntu1 breaks ipython matplotlib (dup-of: 259219)" [Unknown,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/73280900:20
ubot4`Launchpad bug 259219 in software-center (Ubuntu Natty) (and 3 other projects) "Broken TLS support in libGL.so (affects: 121) (dups: 28) (heat: 300)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/25921900:20
bryceh_ah that's just the TLS bug, nevermind :-)00:21
RAOFbryceh_: I did indeed ;)00:24
RAOFAnd, barring assembly, I've got it done locally.00:24
bryceh_pity no feedback yet on bug 702090.  did I go overboard with the paint-by-numbers directions and scare everyone off?00:34
ubot4`Launchpad bug 702090 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu Natty) (and 6 other projects) "i965gm GPU lockup if vesafb is left loaded (EIR: 0x00000010 PGTBL_ER: 0x00000100) - *ERROR* EIR stuck: 0x00000010, masking (affects: 72) (dups: 57) (heat: 520)" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/70209000:35
bryceh_apw, from my limited testing the vesafb kernel doesn't appear to *cause* issues near as I can tell.  If you wanted to just roll it out, we get enough automatic gpu error reports I think it would become pretty clear within a couple days whether it has eliminated the issue.  We should notice a flattening of the curve and no further bug reports filed with these codes.00:40
RAOFI WIN! (At causing glxinfo to segfault)01:32
RAOFAnd if you don't clobber registers mesa assumes aren't clobbered, glxinfo doesn't segfault either!01:42
RAOFAhem.  And if you actually preserve the other registers, glxgears works, too.02:16
bdrunghi, my new sandbybridge system has frequent gpu lockups (bug #733006). is there something that i can do (test)?02:26
ubot4`Launchpad bug 733006 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "[sandybridge] GPU lockup 1a28f5a9 () (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/73300602:26
RAOFbdrung: Is that before or after mesa 7.10.1?  There were lots of sandybridge fxxups in that.02:43
bryceh_looks like it - version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10.1-0ubuntu102:44
bryceh_bdrung, unfortunately your gpu dump has a 00's for the error codes02:45
bryceh_[   49.302005] [drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl 00000000 head 00000000 tail 00000000 start 0000000002:45
bryceh_"render ring initialization", haven't heard of that one before02:45
bryceh_bdrung, so here are the things I'd suggest testing, in no particular order:02:46
bryceh_* boot an older kernel if you still have one installed.  That can help identify if it's a drm regression02:46
bryceh_* downgrade mesa.  Like raof says it has some changes for sandybridge.  Conceivably those changes could carry bugs too02:47
bryceh_bdrung, the above two are especially useful if this is a regression from it used to work right in the past02:47
RAOF* upgrade mesa; I think xorg-edgers is usable at the moment, and upstream's always more interested in bugs not fixed in the bleeding-edge.02:48
bryceh_* try the intel-drm-next kernel - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/ - which will either identify if there might be a fix upstream, or else demonstrate it's an upstream bug02:48
bryceh_ok I am told I have a tired demanding pregnant wife needing some attention, so gtg02:51
bryceh_bdrung, hopefully the above helps.  Also keep filing apport bugs, sometimes it'll catch error codes when you're getting a string of 0's.02:52
bryceh_bdrung, there are a couple other people with similar error=0x00000 types of bugs for various chips, it's possible they're related.  I hesistate to send them upstream without more specifics but if we get enough reported will do so02:53
bryceh_l8r02:53
Sarvattbdrung: try booting with with drm_kms_helper.poll=0 additionally please :)05:04
Sarvatthmm, I guess updating lucid/maverick in xorg-edgers wont be that big a deal in the end, I just didn't want to backport the libdrm-nouveau1a rename since I'd have to rebuild crap like plymouth in there when the one built against 2.4.17 nouveau abi works fine but its just plymouth05:20
RAOFBah.  When are those darned new Sony notebooks coming out?06:02
bryceh_check it --> http://www.bryceharrington.org/cgi-bin/upstreamer.cgi?bug=72882306:07
bryceh_attachment forwarding is partly in there to but it's sloooowwww so left it disabled for now06:08

ricotzRAOF, hi09:12
ricotzRAOF, did you see issues like these yet? nvidia-blob: http://enyo.zakx.de/~angelos/docky.png -- intel: http://img713.imageshack.us/i/docky.png/09:14
bdrunggood morning. i will try all your suggestions and report back.09:51
bdrungbryceh_: the drm-intel-next kernel crashes with an ops while booting10:38
bryceh_bdrung, the drm-next branch might be a bit more stable10:44
bdrungbryceh_: that crashes too (general protection fault)10:53
bryceh_bdrung, the fact that it's crashing is probably interesting and may be relevant on your original issue.  hope you're taking notes10:59
bdrungbryceh_: nope, but screenshots ;)10:59
bdrungnow i am trying xorg-edgers11:00
bryceh_have I mentioned today how much I hate the intel video driver's bugginess?11:02
bdrungno and i have to agree11:02
bdrungi had to start Windows to verify that the hardware is ok and that it's only a software problem11:03
bdrungbryceh_: xorg-edgers brought no improvement11:04
bdrungstill gpu lockups11:05
bdrungright after login11:05
* bryceh_ nods11:05
bryceh_well, xorg-edgers won't make a difference if it's a kernel drm issue, which is what it's starting to sound like11:05
bryceh_I'm curious about the oops and the gpf11:06
bryceh_if those are unrelated that would be seriously unfortunate11:06
bryceh_more likely though, they are different reactions to the same or similar fundamental issue11:06
bdrungbryceh_: are they stored somewhere on the disk? will apport report them?11:06
bryceh_you could look in /var/crash - if that's empty apport won't report them11:07
bryceh_I *think* that apport might neglect to report them since they're not stock kernels, but I'm not sure11:07
bryceh_you can look in /var/log/kern.log* to see if those files show the errors11:08
bryceh_if not, I'd suggest rebooting to those kernels and capture dmesg11:08
bdrunghow should i capture dmesg if they crash on booting?11:08
bdrungand the second question is: what workaround can i use to avoid those crashed to have a chance to run apport?11:10
jcristaunetconsole11:10
bdrungwhat command do i need to report these problems?11:11
bryceh_bdrung, a photo to capture the dmesg output showing the OOPS or fault would be a starting point11:12
bryceh_sometimes you can ssh in and grab it11:12
bryceh_if you can't ssh in, that would suggest a deeper kernel issue11:13
bryceh_like, ssh with an ethernet cable, if wireless hasn't kicked in yet11:13
bdrungwow, launching the drm-next kernel in recovery mode works. i have a console and can run dmesg11:14
bryceh_for workarounds, if you snag the file from /var/crash/ that corresponds to the crash and copy it to another machine, there are ways to file it from the other machine11:14
bdrunghere's the dmesg output of drm-intel-next: http://paste.ubuntu.com/578782/11:15
bryceh_[   11.620556] Process plymouthd (pid: 346, threadinfo ffff88041edfa000, task ffff88041b2ec440)\11:16
bdrungso plymouthd died?11:17
bryceh_looks like it11:17
bryceh_could try booting with splash disabled, see if that makes the crash go away11:17
bryceh_or uninstall plymouth (if that still works)11:18
bdrunghow is the splash disabling parameter called?11:18
bryceh_I think you just delete 'splash' from the kernel cmdline11:19
bryceh_linux/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-4-generic root=UUID=2b238928-f3f1-4074-b551-2cceff54c6a4 ro   quiet splash vt.handoff=711:19
bdrungi copied all crash files from /var/crash to this machine.11:20
bryceh_so you'd just go into grub (hold down left shift during boot), trim out 'splash', and boot11:20
bryceh_       apport-cli [ --save file ] symptom | pid | package | program path | .apport/.crash file11:20
bryceh_APPORT_IGNORE_OBSOLETE_PACKAGES=true apport-cli <foo.crash>11:21
bryceh_^ that should be the magic to get the report to file from your other machine11:21
bdrungapport-cli complains that the crash doesn't belong to an not installed package11:24
bryceh_hrm, yeah I should have added I'd never gotten that magic to work right myself11:28
bryceh_fwiw, the .crash file is largely text... you can upload it to one of your bug reports for reference.  I think I should be able to extract the errors from the file myself.11:29
bryceh_I don't like doing that in general, but for you...  ;-)11:29
bdrungremoving plymouth let the drm-intel-next kernel boot and it's currently running without locking up11:31
bdrungso i can report the bug on the main machin11:31
bdrunge11:31
bryceh_sweet11:33
bryceh_bdrung, ok, so sounding like a kernel/plymouth type of bug.11:33
bdrungbut i can't report the crashes because apport complained that the package are not ubuntu packages11:33
bryceh_yeah, like I mentioned earlier11:35
bryceh_just attach the .crash files to the bug report, and I'll sort it from there11:36
bdrungbryceh_: i could pastebin them11:37
bryceh_it's getting a bit late for me, I'd prefer if you attached them to one of your bug reports, and I'll look at it tomorrow11:38
bryceh_(3:30am... need to hit the sack soon)11:38
bdrungbryceh_: should i file it against the kernel package or intel?11:38
bryceh_kernel11:41
bryceh_make sure to tag it 'natty'11:41
bryceh_actually, if you know how, I'd suggest filing it against both 'linux' and 'plymouth'11:42
bdrungk, will do that11:42
