I am seeing this in F11 + rawhide repository.  Using kernel-2.6.29.3-140.fc11.x86_64

I'm on a Thinkpad T60 with Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03).

Can submit an sosreport if that is helpful.

I am seeing this in F11 + rawhide repos. Using kernel-2.6.29.4-162.fc11.x86_64

On a Sony Vaio Z11 with a hybrid graphics solution (intel X4500 + NVidia GF 9300 GS). With the Intel card on the message pollutes the syslog twice a second. 

Can also submit sosreport if helpful.

----------------------------
From the above logs, I suspect that the cause of the error is compiz or VMWare.
I have the following installed:

    VMware Workstation 6.5.2-156735  (just installed and with generic patch)    
    compiz-0.7.8-18.fc11.x86_64 (i enabled some settings via ccsm)

My system was working OK before installing VMWare and before enabling some compiz settings.

Comment 5 bepa 2009-05-29 18:27:13 UTC
Update: I think I found the cause of the error. These are what I did:

I uninstalled VMWare and the kernel oops were still present.
I reset compiz settings to default values and still the errors were logged.
Disabling "Desktop Effects" did not solve the problem.

I disabled GL Desktop and the problem was gone.

     System > Preferences > GL Desktop > Uncheck Enable GL Desktop

I also removed the startup item "/usr/bin/fusion-icon" that I had recently added to automatically start GL Desktop and put the Compiz Fusion icon in the system tray.

After completely disabling GL Desktop and disabling fusion-icon, no more kernel oops were logged.


-----------------------------
Further, via Compiz Fusion Icon I tried to change the window manager from Compiz to Metacity. No errors were logged; same with KWin.

For now, I use Metacity as my window manager and enable its compositing manager because awn requires it. I enabled Metacity compositing via  gconf-editor:   Apps > Metacity > General and check the Compositing_manager.

Compiz was OK before I experimented with its settings. What setting causes the kernel oops, I still don't know. Please help.

Comment 6 bepa 2009-05-29 19:52:44 UTC
How to Recreate Reported Compiz Issue
1. On a healthy compiz installation, execute from terminal /usr/bin/fusion-icon
    or Applications > System Tools > Compiz Fusion Icon

2. Select Window Manager = Compiz
    Window Decorator = GTK Window Generator

Console log:

$ fusion-icon
 * Detected Session: gnome
 * Searching for installed applications...
 * Intel detected, exporting: INTEL_BATCH=1
 * Using the GTK Interface
 * Starting Metacity
 * Setting window manager to Compiz
 ... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
compiz (core) - Error: Could not acquire compositing manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0"
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
* Setting decorator to GTK Window Decorator ("gtk-window-decorator --replace")

another possible error after selecting GTK:
compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: /usr/share/pixmaps/fedora-logo

The following will be logged in /var/log/messages :

May 30 03:17:37 RESULD309873 kernel: compiz[18190]: segfault at 3217a6e108 ip 000000320ba3ad9c sp 00007fffbf46f0e0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2000.1[320ba00000+df000]

3. DO BIG MISTAKE: Make /usr/bin/fusion-icon to auto-start by adding it in System > Preferences > Startup Applications

4. Log off and log back on. Kernel oops flood the messages log.



==========================
How to Restore System to a Healthy Compiz

1. In a terminal window execute /usr/bin/fusion-icon 
    or Applications > System Tools > Compiz Fusion Icon

2. Select Window Manager = Metacity
3. Window Decorator = GTK

[NOTE: You may execute "metacity --replace" instead of doing #1-3]

4. Quit/Kill fusion-icon from the system tray.
5. Important: Remove any startup items for fusion-icon in
	System > Preferences > Startup Applications
6. System > Preferences > GL Desktop > Enable GL Desktop
    You may need to do this twice, because GL Desktop may not be successfully enabled the first time.
7. System > Preferences > Desktop Effects > Enable
8. Logout and then re-login



----------------
Suspected bug in application usr/bin/fusion-icon

Comment 7 Oliver Pahl 2009-06-03 06:50:51 UTC
Am i right, that with this step:
6. System > Preferences > GL Desktop > Enable GL Desktop
    You may need to do this twice, because GL Desktop may not be successfully
enabled the first time.

you are enabling a composite enabled Metacity? I dont know for sure, but in Kde this enabled Composite for KWin. I would suspect the bug lies in compiz, because when using Kwin or Metacity with compositing enabled, i dont see this log-messages (I see them with compiz enabled and fusin-icon not installed)

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 13:29:03 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 9 Hedayat Vatankhah 2009-06-11 20:23:26 UTC
I've this issue too. And I'm suspected that this error appears only when I run fusion-icon too. (I use emerald when using fusion icon).
I have an intel video card on my thinkpad x61.

Comment 11 Aron Parsons 2009-06-13 19:18:47 UTC
Same issue here with a GM45 chipset on Fedora 11 x86_64.  I run compiz via compiz-manager, vsync forced on via ccsm.

Comment 12 Ethan Shalev 2009-06-16 19:21:37 UTC
Also occurring on Acer Aspire 5720z.
I have Fusion-icon, and was running compiz. I just switched the window manager to metacity, and the errors stopped getting written to /var/log/messages.
I was getting roughly 30 messages per second! (the messages file has bloated to over 400MB)

Comment 13 Andrey 2009-06-19 18:54:28 UTC
I can confirm the same message in the logs on Acer Aspire One A110 (Smolt link here: http://www.smolts.org/show?uuid=pub_d0ada581-096a-42f2-9ecd-1ef6f3b3e516) when I switch "Desktop Effects" on. Message in the logs looks like that:

Jun 19 22:33:29 aao-ak kernel: [drm:drm_wait_vblank] *ERROR* failed to acquire vblank counter, -22

When I switch effects off, message disappears, and I have following in the logs:

Jun 19 22:33:29 aao-ak kernel: compiz[2047]: segfault at 3aa5860 ip 03aa5860 sp bf852720 error 4 in libICE.so.6.3.0[3b63000+17000]

I am using default Gnome effects, not some advanced stuff like Fusion-icon or something.

Comment 14 Richard Guest 2009-06-27 22:54:22 UTC
Also same issue with on my Dell Latitude E4300 also a GM45 chipset on Fedora 11 x86_64. Compiz started via compiz-manager.

The most annoying thing about this bug is kerneloops thrashing over /var/log/messages on every login etc.

I can provide Xorg logs, lspci outputs, intel_gpu_dumps, whatever is needed to fix this!

I'm guessing this bug should probably be assigned to xorg-x11-drv-intel...? and also probably go upstream to x.org?

Comment 15 Aidan Delaney 2009-07-15 08:43:02 UTC
If a "me too" is helpful, then me too!  Similar hardware "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)" which generates a /var/log/messages file which is now over 120Mb.  kerneloops then hogs the processor on startup for a significant amount of time.

Comment 16 Nildo Abreu 2009-07-19 16:31:14 UTC
Solve this problem starting compiz with the following command:

compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering

After that the errors do not occur again in dmesg.

Comment 17 Ethan Shalev 2009-07-19 17:41:52 UTC
@Nildo - does that command actually solve whatever it is that's causing compiz to through so many errors, or simply prevent them from being logged?
If it's the latter, I'd still be happy to see a proper fix to this.

Comment 18 Nildo Abreu 2009-07-19 17:52:42 UTC
Starting compiz with the command that it solves the problem of creating multiple messages in / var / log / messages like:

[drm:drm_wait_vblank] *ERROR* failed to acquire vblank counter, -22

If you have a better solution, please share with the list.

Comment 19 James 2009-07-19 18:00:04 UTC
Disabling sync-to-vblank in Compiz (gconf://apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/sync_to_vblank) will certainly abate occurrences of this message. However, I think this is a case of GL tickling a bug in the kernel-side of i915 DRM.

Comment 20 Thomas Cameron 2009-07-22 16:41:05 UTC
compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering gives me no window borders.  Based on some Google searching, I tried adding 

	Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
	Option         "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True" 

to the "Screen" section of xorg.conf but it didn't help.  No borders.

Comment 21 Daniel L. 2009-07-30 21:46:17 UTC
I also have problems, running compiz with KDE.

Packages installed:
compiz-gnome-0.7.8-19.fc11.i586
compiz-0.7.8-19.fc11.i586
compiz-kde-0.7.8-19.fc11.i586
compiz-fusion-0.7.8-8.fc11.i586
compiz-fusion-gnome-0.7.8-8.fc11.i586
compiz-manager-0.6.0-9.fc11.noarch

Graphics card: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950


Perhaps I can help with the following (I don't know much about Xsessions/Xorg and all this stuff, so don't complain if this is bad).

James hint, disabling sync_to_vblank in the gconf, didn't help me, because I want to use compiz only with KDE.

I tried out Nildos hint, using indirect rendering, which works for me.
(Normally compiz is running with "compiz --ignore-desktop-hints --replace cpp" (this is when messages grows). When I add the --indirect-rendering option, my messages stays small.)

In advance to only run compiz with a KDE session and in advance to have not the same problem that Thomas has, I did the following:
- I changed INDIRECT="no" in /usr/bin/compiz-manager to INDIRECT="yes", so that it always starts with indirect rendering
- I used the kde-desktop-effects.sh, to select the windowmanager, so that my KDE starts with compiz instead of kwin

Comment 22 Filippo Racca 2009-08-01 19:15:25 UTC
I get the same same error message:

[drm:drm_wait_vblank] *ERROR* failed to acquire vblank counter, -22

on my F11/rawhide machine.

Mesa: mesa-libGL-7.6-0.7.fc12.i686

Alsa when running glxgears I get the following message:

"do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter."

Changing vblank_mode to 0 (or other values) doesn't remove the message.

Comment 23 Andrey 2009-08-03 21:30:38 UTC
I do not have this message anymore with 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586 on my Acer Aspire One.

Comment 26 Davide Cescato 2009-08-26 08:11:14 UTC
I experience the same with kernel-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.x86_64 on Intel graphics [8086:2a42] (KMS enabled). I am using compiz without indirect rendering, if that helps.

I am not sure if the following issue is related to this bug. Several times I had the display freezing. Specifically, the image on the screen would get stuck and no longer update. Only the movement of the mouse pointer is tracked on the screen. All input from the keyboard (including ctrl+alt+del and e.g. ctrl+alt+f2) and all mouse clicks seem to be ignored. Logging in from a remote machine showed that the processes are alive and that none of them is blocking the CPU. Unfortunately, I still have not found a way to reproduce this kind of freeze reliably.

This sounds more like like bug 473347 (which I also sometimes see).

Comment 28 Tristan Moody 2009-09-04 07:04:47 UTC
I had this happening on my machine while running Compiz-Fusion, and I discovered that if I went into the settings manager for Compiz-Fusion and went to General Options/Display settings and unchecked "Sync to VBlank", that eliminated the dmesg storm on my machine.  Not a true fix, but some sanity and no more 15MiB /var/log/messages files after 30 minutes of uptime.

Comment 29 Ethan Shalev 2009-09-04 10:21:24 UTC
@Tristan Moody, that tip of your seems to be working for me as well, on my Acer Aspire 5720z.
Thanks!

Comment 30 Tim McConnell 2009-09-12 18:53:22 UTC
Issue happens to me as well. 
Killing kerneloops's process allowed me to stay running and removing old messages file stops 100% CPU usage. But still receive drm error in new messages folder. 
See posting on Fedora Forums: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1264327#post1264327 
will try the vsync to blank trick to see if the drm problem quits. current size of messages file is 347740.

Comment 31 Baris Cicek 2009-09-15 02:07:36 UTC
I have the same problem with Fedora 11. However I don't use compiz, though metacity with compositing enable. So it's not triggered only with compiz but probably related with compositing.

It seems like this issue is pointed by upstream kernel as well. Is mentioned patch in following bugzilla entry added to Fedora kernel? 

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13634

Comment 32 Tim McConnell 2009-09-16 22:50:49 UTC
Created attachment 361392 [details]
strace results 

ran strace on compiz to see if I could get any useful information for this bug.

Comment 33 Hedayat Vatankhah 2009-09-17 17:53:33 UTC
Disabling "Sync to VBlank" works for me too. :)

Comment 34 Valent Turkovic 2009-09-19 14:25:06 UTC
Going into the settings manager for Compiz-Fusion and to General Options/Display settings and unchecking "Sync to VBlank" worked for me to!

Thanks!

Comment 35 gbales2nd 2009-09-21 15:19:04 UTC
I removed the fix to correct for failed logins in /usr/bin/compiz.gtk

export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT-1

This seems to have stopped the error messages.

Comment 36 Tim McConnell 2009-09-21 23:29:03 UTC
None of what has been suggested so far has stopped the drm flood on my machine. I use virtualization on mine could there be a conflict between the virtualization kernel 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586 and compiz? If I run compiz- check it shows:

Comment 37 Tim McConnell 2009-09-22 18:33:40 UTC
Okay I got the DRM flood to stop. I had to completely remove compiz reboot and re-install compiz before the disable sync to vblank fix worked. Don't know why it didn't before but oh well. 
This did leave me with one question though... what good does it do to not have an number of attempts or something along those lines instead of repeatedly sending error messages when something fails? Shouldn't there be a warning to the user with the option to disable the service if it isn't working? I for one would rather see and error message from Compiz stating, something to the effect of: I cannot do operation X, blah, blah ,blah, then have my log files flooded by repeated attempts for nothing. It would be better to have a set number of attempts and quit trying to do something if it fails and warn the user that it didn't work and if it is critical or not, in my opinion anyway.

Comment 38 Walter Tuvell 2009-10-29 19:27:18 UTC
I've got a brand new laptop (Sony Vaio VGN-NW100), with a fresh installation of Fedora 11 on it, including all relevant updates (including the kernel) up-to-the-minute.  I have Desktop Effects enabled, and I'm seeing the "failed to acquire vblank counter" problem every time I boot up.  I can "(hack-)solve" the problem this way:

1. Boot machine, with Desktop Effects enabled.
2. tail -f /var/log/messages, to check whether the problem is occurring.  NOTE 1: The problem does usually occur, but not always.  NOTE 2: Sometimes this problem is accompanied by a CPU-eating kerneloops, but not always, so I believe that is an independent bug.
3. Recycle Desktop Effects.  That is, use the System --> Preferences --> Desktop Effects dialog to disable DE, then use that dialog to re-enable DE.
4. Look at the preceding tail -f, checking that the problem has disappeared.

This hack seems to work 100% of the time.  Here is what the final few seconds of the tail -f looks like for me:

Comment 40 Simo Sorce 2009-11-08 05:06:19 UTC
I see this as well, /var/log/messages is getting several GB big, it could well run into a DoS.
Is there a way to stop the kernel from priting this pointless message over and over again ?

The way I was able to stop the DRM flood was to open the compiz manager and place a check in disable vsync to blank.

Comment 42 Walter Tuvell 2009-11-09 18:02:47 UTC
Tim, thanks for your hint, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me.  I installed the Compiz Manager (gnome-compiz-manager-0.10.4-8.fc11), opened it (System -> Preferences -> CompizConfig Settings Manager), and located the setting (General Options -> Display Settings -> Sync to VBlank).  It was enabled.  I disabled it and rebooted, but continued getting the same exact problem as before (~20 msgs/sec in /var/log/messages).  Also as before, if I recycle Compiz (as noted in my comments in this Bugzilla for Oct 29), the problem goes away (just as it did before I installed Compiz Manager) -- so at least nothing additional got broken.

Here is also an additional tidbit, which might be useful to a developer tracking this bug.  I mentioned that I sometimes get a kerneloops eating the CPU in conjunction with the sync-to-vblank bug.  I had thought these two problems were independent.  But after some experimentation, I'm seeing that when I do get the kerneloops, and recycle Compiz, then the kernel oops goes away immediately.   So it's now seeming as if the two problems are related after all.

And, if I have Display Settings (Compiz) disabled when booting, neither the /var/log/messages problem nor the kerneloops ever occurs.  Not surprising, I know, but due diligence dictates that it be reported.

Walter, 
Have you tried the repos for compiz in this url http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=173317 to see if that solves it? They are unofficial packages and not supported through Fedora but using that compiz manager my suggestion works. 
And for what it's worth, I just looked at my settings and v-sync to blank is unchecked and I have also uninstalled kerneloops an replaced it with abrt-addon-kerneloops-0.0.4-3.fc11.i586.

Comment 44 Walter Tuvell 2009-11-10 14:06:04 UTC
Tim, I tried your suggestion, but it doesn't work for me (for a different reason than sync-to-vblank).

I followed the instructions in http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=173317, uninstalling the F11-repository Compiz first and installing the latest Compiz.  But enabling it doesn't display windows correctly: the borders (including the top border, with menus and buttons) are missing.  I'm attaching 2 screenshots to this Bugzilla, so you can see what I mean.

Maybe there's a way to tweak around this, but this is starting to seem more of a hobbiest pasttime than I can afford just now.  So I'll be reverting to the F11 Compiz, and continuing to live with the sync-to-vblank bug(s).  Sigh.

But, thanks anyway for the collaboration, Tim!

Just a thought, if you have no compiz installed at all does the DRM error still show?

Comment 48 Walter Tuvell 2009-11-11 13:06:37 UTC
Good thought, Tim.

At this point, I've removed the latest Compiz, but not yet re-installed the F11 Compiz, and I haven't seen the problem occur yet.  I'll delay installing the F11 Compiz (thereby foregoing Desktop Effects) for a few days, and see if the sync-to-vblank and/or kerneloops problems occur.  We expect they won't occur, of course.  If they do occur, I'll post a notice here.  Otherwise, I'll just remain silent.

Thanks for this idea!

Another thought, http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Troubleshooting, for the border issue. 

And if no DRM errors have occurred lately, do you have time to try re-installing the official Fedora compiz packages with the debuginfo packages and try launching through gdb? 
the commands to launch should be: 

compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering

or 

compiz --replace --indirect-rendering -sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --loose-binding & emerald --replace &

So it would look something like this from a terminal:

gdb compiz --replace --indirect-rendering -sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --loose-binding & emerald --replace & |tee /home/Walter/Desktop/compizgdbrun.txt (if GDB complains it needs more debugger packages copy and paste the degbuginfo-install information into a root terminal and get those also)

then type 'run' and attach to this bugreport? 
Maybe if a usable stack trace is captured they can fix this problem or move it to the correct part of bugzilla. From all the post here it seems like this is either a driver incompatibility or an issue with Desktop effects. Would be nice to have this fixed for sure before F12 comes out.

Comment 50 Bug Zapper 2010-04-27 13:33:46 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  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 '11'.

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 11'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 11 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

Comment 51 James 2010-05-05 10:15:27 UTC
Since this bug hasn't seen any traffic for ~6 months (and it's solved for me in F12), I'll close it shortly if no-one objects.

Comment 52 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 11:44:31 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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.
