Bug 505207

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), /var/log/dmesg, and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below.

Could you point us to some particular URL, so we have something common to test on?

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

*sigh*

Now I can't reproduce it, either by loading the huge image in isolation or by loading the original page which caused the crash. (Which is very irritating because I managed to crash the GPU twice purely by accident, but I can't do it on demand.)

The page in question was: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3005551&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=681 (beware, most of the images on that page are hosted on free image hosts and they have a habit of vanishing fairly quickly -- I have a Firefox generated saved "Web page, complete" archived, not that that does me any good now).

So, let's see what our bugzilla can handle :)

Happened again, this time with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-17.fc11.x86_64 and a more reasonably sized 3128 by 4676 JPEG. This time I couldn't ssh in remotely to collect any debugging information and I still can't reproduce it.

I have a similar problem with ATI Radeon Express 200M on an HP laptop.

The GUI freezes except the mouse cursor moves fine, but no response from clicks. The keyboard is completely frozen, since CapsLock light doesn't work at all.

xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-14.fc11.x86_64
firefox-3.5-0.20.beta4.fc11.x86_64

I can ssh into the system from another PC fine, and can kill firefox process and do other stuff from the command line over the network. But nothing changes in the graphics, so it is GPU and keyboard that are frozen. Note that the other PC that is working fine uses the same exact Fedora 11 with same exact packages and updates, but it has nvidia video proprietary driver.

My ~/.xsession-errors shows:

Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a ti
mestamp of 0 for 0x3600049 (Mozilla Fi)
Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestam
p; the pager needs to be fixed.

(firefox:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

But no error messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/messages.

One other thing (I'm not sure it's related) is when trying to list the home directory from the command line, I sometimes get:

% ls
% ls
ls: cannot access .gvgs: Permission denied
...
d????????? ?     ?       ?        ? .gvfs
...

But now it's listing fine again.

This is normal behavior for FUSE mount points and can safely be ignored.

Thanks.

I just heard firefox 3.5 released hours ago. I'll wait for it to appear in fedora repository and see how it goes.

I see the same symptoms as #9 also on a HP Laptop with ATI Radeon Express 200M.
Freeze is easily reproduceable using firefox. Opening a new tab in a reasonable large window does the trick.

Do you still have this issue with fedora 12 (you can test livecd from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/) ?

Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command

yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing'

Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD .

Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

[This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

Tested F12 on the same Laptop as in my comment #12.
This issue seems to be fixed, i have not experienced such a hang/crash since i installed F12.

I have been experiencing hard locks, but there's no rhyme or reason to them and large images certainly aren't involved, so this bug doesn't appear to be an issue in F12.

Thank you for letting us know.
