Description Sebastian Rasmussen 2011-02-23 02:14:07 UTC
Description of problem:

I participated in Nouveau Testing Day (see additional info below) and attempted to install and run openarea. While installation and startup of openarea went fine I got a complete system hang (no keyboard input, no mouse input and a frozen screen and no network access) when visting the Player Settings menu. Therefore I have no log files from the incident.

I get a similar system hang when attempting install and play the tuxracer game (i.e. the 2D menu navigation is fine, but when starting the game and transitioning into 3D graphics allow for 3 seconds of interaction before freezing the system.

Both games normally start in fullscreen mode, but selecting window mode doesn't help (only tested for tuxracer). Do note that glxgears and mesa-demo tests work perfectly fine. I'm happy to assist with further testing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau 0.0.16-19.20110216git42c16ff.fc15
openarena 0.8.5-3.fc15
Extreme Tuxracer 0.4-6.fc15

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install openarena/Extreme Tuxracer
2. Navigate to the player settings menu in the case of openarena/start a practice round in the case of tuxracer
3. Notice how the complete system is frozen.
  
Actual results:
Completely frozen system.

Expected results:
Being able to play openarea and my favourite -- Extreme Tuxracer!

Without any logs, there is not much we can do. Could you try the latest ISO image from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/ as LiveUSB (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB) and when the system crashes, restart it in the text mode (add number 3 to the kernel command line), and collect whatever remains from files /var/log/Xorg.*.

Then you can try to start from the non-root users' text session via startx command and try test again. If we are lucky, we may crash back to the text mode, and thus you could be able to collect new version of Xorg.0.log* file(s) and output of the dmesg command.

Please, attach then all collected files to this report as separate uncompressed attachments.

Thank you

Sorry for the delay, I've been caught up in work in the real world. :-/
I've bought a USB stick to use for testing though so I hope to retest this and return to you with answers during the coming week.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 15:32:38 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
