| A_D | I think I may have run into an amdgpu bug on 19.10 -- can anyone verify? Appears that if you run OBS with a scene and ... crap what are they called, that points to a window that doesnt exist, and then open the window, the amdgpu driver (or something else in the kernel, I'm not sure other than its in the kernel, and I recently added an AMD card to my machine) begins to nom on memory | 12:34 |
|---|---|---|
| A_D | assumption of it being in the kernel comes from a memory use rise (confirmed with GSM, htop, and free) with no corresponding rise of memory use in any userland process (again checked with GSM and htop) | 12:35 |
| tjaalton | try a newer mainline kernel | 12:35 |
| A_D | okay lets try v5.4.3 \o/ brb | 12:51 |
| A_D | okay that appears to have worked | 12:59 |
| A_D | is there a PPA I can use for the kernel versions? I followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds to install the current version | 12:59 |
| tjaalton | don't think so | 13:00 |
| A_D | welp okay | 13:00 |
| A_D | guess I'm doing it by hand until my version gets a kernel update | 13:01 |
| tjaalton | you could try bisecting mainline builds to see if it got fixed between 5.4-rc1 and .3 | 13:01 |
| tjaalton | if it was fixed in -rc1, then it's more difficult.. | 13:02 |
| A_D | oh I'm pretty sure it did, I installed 5.4.3 because there is a commit from oct to amdgpu that specifically references memory leaks | 13:02 |
| tjaalton | which one? | 13:02 |
| A_D | one sec | 13:02 |
| A_D | https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/083164dbdb17c5ea4ad92c1782b59c9d75567790 | 13:03 |
| A_D | whether or not that actually fixes the issue I had I don't know | 13:03 |
| A_D | I'm not familiar enough with the guts of either the driver or the kernel to tell you | 13:03 |
| A_D | but given that it was repeatable before and is not now, I'm going with it did | 13:04 |
| tjaalton | those fixes were added in rc2 | 13:05 |
| tjaalton | there were several memleak fixes | 13:05 |
| A_D | were they? welp then I guess something else fixed this. and I can't read | 13:06 |
| A_D | possibly this issue is intermittent | 13:06 |
| A_D | thats slightly annoying | 13:06 |
| tjaalton | that commit was added in rc3 | 13:06 |
| tjaalton | so, test those builds | 13:06 |
| tjaalton | rc1 and 2 | 13:07 |
| A_D | I can't easily get debs for that, I'm going to assume that this works, and keep an eye on updates for when I get a newer kernel from the main repos | 13:18 |
| tjaalton | how so, they're in the same place | 13:18 |
| A_D | am I just blind? one mo | 13:19 |
| tjaalton | https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.4-rc2/ etc | 13:19 |
| A_D | oh I am blind, thanks | 13:19 |
| A_D | Okay appears fixed in rc1 | 13:28 |
| A_D | So no idea | 13:28 |
| A_D | I'm gonna go with 5 4.3 for now, and leave it | 13:29 |
| tjaalton | ok | 13:39 |

| memelang420 | Hi everyone, was hoping to get some guidance on how to compile the kernel. So far I've been following this guide: (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel). Compared to compiling from sources from kernel.org, compiling the from the ubuntu kernel sources seems to take for ever (<20min to 4+ hours and ongoing). From the guide on `BuildYourOwnKernel` I assume this builds the packages for | 20:37 |
| memelang420 | all architectures, but I'm only looking to get one for amd64. | 20:37 |
| memelang420 | Is there a way to build just for your current system? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but would appreciate being pointed in right direction. | 20:37 |
| memelang420 | nevermind, it was a system issue | 23:29 |
