Description Brad Smith 2009-07-27 15:51:42 UTC
Created attachment 355290 [details]
Cellphone video of the monitor "freaking out" (default mpeg format from phone)

Description of problem:
Twice now since upgrading from F10 to F11, my Thinkpad T60 has suddenly crashed. The audio sounds like it is looping the last second or so of whatever it was playing, but this is buried under static, and the video becomes a garbled mess (see attached video--though I can't seem to find a player that can understand whatever audio codec my phone uses). 

No idea what to file this under, as I guess it could be X or Pulseaudio or the video driver or...? In both cases, I was listening to music in Amarok and scrolling through a web page in Firefox when it happened, though I have been unable to intentionally reproduce the crash. 

Looking through /var/log/messages shows nothing out of the ordinary before the crash.

Fully-updated Fedora 11. Here's some package information in case it's helpful:

How reproducible:
It's happened twice, but attmepts to "stress test", eg scrolling a web page quickly while playing a sound file that was playing during a previous crash, have failed to reproduce.

Comment 2 Brad Smith 2009-07-27 16:28:26 UTC
Another piece of maybe-relevant information: My monitor occasionally goes blank for a second or so at a time. It's rare, less-than-daily, but it's happened enough times that it no longer surprises me when it happens. The system always comes right back, so it's not been a big problem. It just happened and the only entry in /var/log/messages from about the time of the blanking was:

"""
Jul 27 12:23:00 satsuki pulseaudio[2394]: alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 100.00 ms
"""

Maybe un-related, but there it is.

Comment 3 Bill McGonigle 2009-07-27 19:26:24 UTC
I've got one that's very similar.  Cell phone left at home today :P  but can upload it later if it's helpful.

It happened exactly when I mouse-up'ed from clicking 'play' on a voicemail from Google Voice (Adobe Flash Player).

Mine is an eeePC 1000he.

my cellphone-camera screenshot

Found it - mine has a different visual pattern than Brad's.

mplayer and DragonPlayer both seem to handle this .3g2 file.

Comment 5 Brad Smith 2009-08-05 06:29:07 UTC
Happened again. Listening to music in Amarok, had just pressed Backspace in jedit (text editor). When I rebooted the system, bios complained about a stuck key, which went away the next time I cycled the power. That may mean nothing, but there it is.

If this keeps up, I'm going to have to downgrade to F10. =:(

Now happening more often. Twice today, once yesterday. Still fully-updated F11, now running the following:

Comment 12 Matěj Cepl 2009-08-17 10:59:24 UTC
Reporter, does switching various parts of Xorg as described in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs#Hardware-related_issues help?

Comment 13 Bill McGonigle 2009-08-17 14:43:20 UTC
I'm not sure that my issue and Brad's are the same, but having looked at the wiki link Matej posted, I just want to make clear that in my case I can go for a hundred hours or more of uptime before experiencing this glitch.

Comment 15 Matěj Cepl 2009-11-05 18:35:43 UTC
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.]

Comment 16 Bill McGonigle 2009-11-05 19:43:45 UTC
My issue seems to have resolved since I last posted.  F11 w/ updates.

Comment 17 Matěj Cepl 2009-11-08 21:14:12 UTC
Reporter, could please confirm comment 16?

THank you in advance

Comment 18 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 09:23:17 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 19 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 13:52:21 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.

Comment 20 Red Hat Bugzilla 2023-09-14 01:17:25 UTC
The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days
