| karolherbst | please backport https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/74479a99ecf18fdfdafd033b5efd8d785dd12c28 to 18.04 or either not default to modesetting for all drivers | 17:50 |
|---|---|---|
| tjaalton | missing context | 17:55 |
| karolherbst | xorg crashes on out of VRAM with nouveau | 17:55 |
| karolherbst | but it's a glamor bug all along | 17:56 |
| karolherbst | we have some bug reports on that one | 17:56 |
| karolherbst | eg this one: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110500 | 17:56 |
| ubottu | Freedesktop bug 110500 in Drivers/DRI/nouveau "X-Server crashes - GL error: GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY in glTexSubImage" [Major,Resolved: notourbug] | 17:56 |
| tjaalton | ok | 17:57 |
| karolherbst | thanks | 17:58 |
| tjaalton | that commit is a month old, so every version is affected | 18:01 |
| karolherbst | yeah, probably | 18:02 |
| karolherbst | tjaalton: actually, 16.04 should be fine as it doesn't force the mdoesetting DDX, but everything newer should be. I think other drivers might run into that issue as well, allthough they should have better handling of out of memory situations | 18:04 |
| tjaalton | karolherbst: right, at this point i'm mostly concerned about 19.04 and -hwe-18.04 | 18:07 |
| tjaalton | and if there's noone on launchpad who can reproduce it, there's not much hope getting that through to updates | 18:08 |
| karolherbst | I see. Allthough I imagine that should be fairly easy to reproduce on given hardware. I would be only able to check that on Monday the earliest. And even then I would have to setup a machine with ubuntu on it. :/ | 18:11 |
| karolherbst | tjaalton: I found this debian bug report, which seems essentially to be the same issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=910075 | 18:15 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 910075 in evolution "evolution crash on interact" [Important,Open] | 18:15 |
| tjaalton | the patch to use modesetting on geforce is from fedora btw | 18:26 |
| tjaalton | gf8 and up | 18:27 |
| karolherbst | yeah, I know | 18:29 |
| tjaalton | stock 18.04 didn't have it, only 18.10 and up plus 18.04.2 with hwe backport | 18:29 |
| karolherbst | ohh, interesting | 18:30 |
| tjaalton | so perhaps only testing on 19.04 would be enough, then silently include it in the next backport | 18:30 |
| karolherbst | I am not entirely sure it's a good idea to force enable it and it might make sense to have a simplier way to switch the ddx | 18:30 |
| karolherbst | but I kind of see the general issue with X here :/ | 18:31 |
