screenshot of gnome power history
as a hunch.. can you try booting with nohz=off ? Just gave it a shot. Sorry, no luck - problem persists with that setting. Rolled back to 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 kernel (still running Fedora 9) Fixes the problem, like magic. Mouse and keyboard always instantly responsive, even after long delays of non-use. Checking gnome power history, there's still "Session powersave" and "Session active" markers appearing after a minute or so of inactivity and after touching the mouse/keyboard respectively. Active Skype calls are dropped when Session powersave hits while running the F9 kernel. In order to keep connected the mouse needs to be stirred like a pot on a stove! Happy to provide any sort of information, test rawhide kernels, or explore other ways I might be able to help resolve this issue. Confirmed to still occur with updated f9 kernel 2.6.25.4-30.fc9.i686 Confirmed still present in updated f9 kernel 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 Confirmed still present in updated f9 kernel 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686 Confirmed still present in updated f9 kernel 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Doesn't look like anyone's interested in this one? I didn't think I'd be the only person affected. I've actually gone and had my motherboard completely replaced/serviced and confirmed this is not a hardware issue. This issue exists with every Fedora 9 kernel which I've ever tested. I'm having issues now in which I can't build new kernel drivers because F9 doesn't use the same GCC by default which was used to build the F8 kernel I still have to run. Once again I'm more than happy to provide any further information or perform and testing. Thanks. The stage lies in total darkness as the curtains are drawn aside. A beam of light suddenly fires down, illuminating a single microphone stand. The silhouette of a figure, their face bathed in shadow, steps forward. Arms outstretched, they tug first on their right sleeve, then the left. The collar is adjusted and a step taken forward. <TAP> <TAP> <TAP> "IS THIS THING ON?" ... Issue confirmed to still occur with f9 kernel 2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686 Here's to hoping. Workaround found by disabling dimming in gnome-power-preferences (both AC and battery): http://webui.sourcelabs.com/fedora/issues/427697 Note that this isn't a gnome power issue, it is simply that a new kernel setting (since the original F8 kernel) is affected by a system call gnome power makes when it attempts to dim the screen. Seems like the issue is with the linux kernel, under settings specific to what Fedora is using in new kernels. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
