I tried the latest F12-Snap3-x86_64-Live-KDE from 18.09.2009. Installed are:
xorg-x11-drv-ati-debuginfo-6.13.0-0.4.20090908git651fe5a47.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-debuginfo-1.6.99.901-2.fc12.x86_64
mesa-debuginfo-7.6-0.11.fc12.x86_64
libdrm-debuginfo-2.4.12-0.10.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.31-23.fc12.x86_64
I couldn't make firefox work with the (adobe's) libflashplayer.so. It crached after installing the .so and trying to visit a site with flash on it. Afterwards it wasn't possible to start anything, but I think this is a problem not connected to the xserver.
Since I used firefox to trigger this behaviour I cannot confirm that this problem doesn't exist in F12. After crashing firefox the xserver resieved SIGPIPE and everything froze. The gdb -bt is:
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
^C
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
0x00007f2dfcb8d0a3 in __select_nocancel () from /lib64/libc.so.6

argv=<value optimized out>, envp=<value optimized out>) at main.c:285
Even my ssh was terminated and I couldn't login again. This was a total freeze. I've also attched the Xorg.0.log and the dmesg.
PS: maybe this whole behaivour isn't connected to the xserver but I wanted to try and see if this problems persist in the next F12. For me it still occurs in F12.

Is this bug related?: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528593 pcie_aspm=off isn't working for me. After pssing this on the kernel line the lockup still happens. I even ported back the xserver-1.7.0-exa-looping-forever-is-evil.patch to f11-server and this problem still occurs. This should have been fixed in the current f12-beta. In order to trigger the lockup I use firefox with more than 30 open tabs with flash content. In f11 it does lock up but in f12-beta it's working fine (it has other problems though). Joshua's bug is different from 528593. 528593 is the widely-noted r600+/ICH9+ combination issue, Joshua has an older r400-generation chipset (Xpress 200m). I believe this is likely the same bug as #521512 as far as F12 is concerned, but let's leave this separate as it's filed on F11. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers I've been testing with the latest nightly builds from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/kde/. I can say that this bug should have been fixed in the current rawhide. I tried to reproduce it with kernel-2.6.31.5-96.fc12.x86_64 mesa-libGLU-7.6-0.13.fc12.x86_64 mesa-dri-drivers-7.6-0.13.fc12.x86_64 mesa-libGL-7.6-0.13.fc12.x86_64 libdrm-2.4.15-1.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.0-1.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-common-1.7.0-1.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.10.20091006git457646d73.fc12.x86_64 but I couldn't. It could be nice if someone figures this out and ports the fix back to f11. Created attachment 367055 [details]

dmesg-2.6.31.5-96.fc12.x86_64. It shows other problems, though.

I have to add that now my display isn't 1280x800 but 1***x800, but this is another issue.
As I said I hope this can be ported back to f11.
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.] Let's close this bug. I think all these issues have been address recently in f12. That was too fast. I can say that this kind of problem cannot be triggered with the current -115 kernel in f12 but there are other issues with this kernel like: 1. my display is too wide (1280x800) on the right side (like 2***x800) and the mouse goes out of the display on the right side 2. there is a usb-key problem with this kernel (oops) and my usbs are useless when copying large files 3. problem with intel-hda-audio (kernel-oops with alc883) Because of theses problems I still cannot update to f12 and now I'm stuck with a closed bug and no option for update! I have to add to the previous comment that the vt-switching isn't working either with kernel -115. Overall the current state of f12 isn't suitable to replace the current f11. Therefore I'll reopen this bug. that's not how bug reporting works. you file one bug per bug report, we fix one bug per bug report. otherwise everyone gets extremely confused. please test with kernel -122 and xorg-x11-server 1.7.1-7 - and all other updates from today's Rawhide - and if you can reproduce the issues you mentioned in #14, please file *new* bugs for them. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Adam, this is not a fix for this bug. Pointing my repos to rawhide and updating my machine brings me new issues. I don't think a fix should break something else. Actually I haven’t had a trouble-free experience with my rs482 since the days of the ati-6.9.0 driver. In every “new” release “new” features are introduced (new api, mesa-3d, gallium, exa optimizations, etc) and I’m supposed to have a better experience with my almost 3-years-old card. But it still cannot work flawlessly. There’s always something that breaks with this card. Over the time I filed some bugs and all of them were closed with “RAWHIDE – please update to the next version”. Some of them didn’t even receive an answer. This is how I moved from f9 to f11 (skip f10 (again) because of the card issues). Now with f11 I have some “workable” combination of mesa, libdrm, ati-drv, xserver, kernel and this small issue. Updating to the current -115 brought 320 new packages (even kde was updated :-D). I experienced x-server crashes and other kernel issues. All of this is just because of the ”possible fix” for my issue. The truth is that this hasn’t been fixed. The new code has broken other things that worked fine before this. This is just postponing the problem. Maybe I should file a bug titled “make this 3-years-old card finally work with linux, before you turn your eyes to the latest GPUs…”. adam, taking a better look at this bug, I shouldn't have been suggesting that we close it. I had thought it a different bug that I had posted myself. sorry about that. Rodd look, it's very simple. it's impossible to track multiple problems in one bug report. the tools are not designed to work for that. if you try and do that, it makes it harder to fix _any_ of the problems, let alone all of them. therefore you get sadder and your hardware doesn't get fixed. i'm not trying to be an asshole here, i'm trying to help you. the way to have issues worked on efficiently via bugzilla is to file one bug report per issue and close one issue per bug report. that's how things work well. if you try and do anything else, pain and confusion are the only results. it's not like i'm suggesting you take a hike or jump through burning rings of fire, just please isolate separate issues into separate reports. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers |
