Description of problem:
Fresh install of Fedora 12 [KDE and XFCE] used to freeze the system at irregular intervals.The keyboard used to stop working, clicking using mouse was also not possible though the free mouse movement was possible.

Enabling KMS just solved the issue to an extent that the freeze used to happen after a little longer interval.

Finally the system have to be hard-rebooted to get the desktop back.
Note :
The issue was also seen while working on the machine with Live USB plugged in.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 12 [XFCE] 

How reproducible:
Not reproducible,used to happen at irregular intervals.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
The keyboard used to stop working, clicking using mouse was also not possible though the free mouse movement was possible.

Expected results:
The desktop should not hang and I/O devices should function as normal.

Additional info:
F11 used to work properly.Just faced 2 issues which were fixed per direction under.

Comment 1 sawrub 2009-11-20 14:59:43 UTC
The whole story :
- System running fine with F11 XFCE.
- Downloaded F12 KDE on 17th,running the LIVE system saw instances of freezing, considered it to be something transient.
- Installed from LIVE iso.The issues was still there.thought the small amount of RAM [1 Gigs] as the cause of it since the KDE interface was looking very glassy,with high effects.
- Installed XFCE and switched to it, no freezing over there for 2 days, but was having issues like screen locking not working, evolution not remembering the pop password. So thought of getting a fresh install of XFCE.
- Downloaded the iso and tried the LIVE environment, the freezing was again there after around 15 min of use.
- Installed the system, the system froze a couple of times and had to hard reboot. At IRC enabling KMS was recommended.The system remained fine for around 2 hours and again it froze.
- Re-booted the system and again it froze after about 5 mins.

A point to note, don't know that if its linked. After KMS, the freezing took place when i was away from my work station.
Finally have to come back leaving the system down, fearing all my mails will be bouncing off as they will not be downloaded from pop server having limited space.

No gain from enabling KMS so switched it off, in the morning and the system is working great till time approx 5 hours.

Correction needed :
'disbling' KMS by adding 'nomodeset' was of no help.

Comment 6 Robinson Maureira 2009-11-23 18:45:19 UTC
I can confirm it's happening on i686/x86_64 with Gnome Desktop, if I boot with KMS it freezes even before showing the GDM screen, the only way I get an usable system is with nomodeset, and even with that, if I enable "Desktop Effects" I get a compiz crash (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=532218)

Comment 7 Matěj Cepl 2009-11-25 21:42:30 UTC
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), output of the dmesg command, 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.

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

Thanks in advance.

Comment 8 Robinson Maureira 2009-11-25 23:12:37 UTC
Hi, I guess my problem is related to BZ#540218 and BZ#539789 nevertheless, do you want those files? I've attached those on the mentioned BZ.

Comment 9 sawrub 2009-11-26 07:24:04 UTC
(In reply to comment #7)

> Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
xorg.conf was not present in the mentioned dir.I t was not there on F11 [previous install] also, though i forced created it to resolve some issues as mentioned earlier in comment 0.

Comment 14 sawrub 2009-11-26 07:30:19 UTC
just an update : the system frequency of getting hung have reduced a lot over the time.This week it just hung 3 times.

Comment 15 Adam Williamson 2009-11-27 18:29:47 UTC
The Xorg.0.log.old from a boot immediately after a crash may be the most useful log, as that should be the log from the actual crash.

Comment 17 Adam Williamson 2009-12-01 20:11:39 UTC
don't see any crash info in there :/ is that file from a boot immediately after seeing this crash? If you have two successful boots in a row, even .old will probably be a success log.

Comment 20 sawrub 2009-12-02 06:42:44 UTC
This one do have something meaningful.
"EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop."

Comment 21 Adam Williamson 2009-12-02 19:14:15 UTC
Thanks for the correct log. Can we also get your /var/log/messages file? Thanks.

Comment 22 sawrub 2009-12-03 01:12:33 UTC
Do the /var/log/messages also be the one from the boot just after the crash.?

Comment 23 Adam Williamson 2009-12-03 19:25:37 UTC
No, /var/log/messages is just appended to across reboots, so it's fine, just attach it.

Comment 24 paul59584 2009-12-04 01:36:32 UTC
I have same problem in F12 [but with Gnome] with same 845G card, same "EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop." message in Xorg.0.log.old.
Also saw in F12-beta live cd
Can attach log files etc if would be helpful

Comment 25 paul59584 2009-12-04 10:15:17 UTC
the following (in /var/log/messages) gets repeated every 2 or 4 minutes when display freezes. can ssh into machine but only a reboot seems to get display back. this bug seems to have been reported for many distros and video cards (not just intel)

Please note this might be a duplicate of this Bug #538563 Let's keep these all together so the developers can see that this is an acutal issue with the i915 driver.

Comment 27 sawrub 2009-12-04 20:55:20 UTC
Sorry to say, but the system with which I was facing this issue is no more with me as it was my official machine and today was my last day there.

this is messages file from p.johns not sawrub but is the same problem

Comment 29 Chris Campbell 2009-12-09 19:37:29 UTC
Since this bug is already be worked by a dev, I'm going to just set it to keyword=triaged and status=assigned (Fedora 12) per policy. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

This bug has been triaged

Anything is duplicate of bug 464866 -- it is a bad bug, which should be probably killed soon, because it serves only as a red herring.

This bug seems to have become quite confused. I can't see any confirmation that the issue described in comment #25 is actually the same bug the original reporter suffers from. p.johns, can you explain exactly why you think this is the same bug? ajax, can you tell for sure if the two are the same (and if 538563 is also the same)? Thanks.

Comment 34 paul59584 2009-12-12 02:36:52 UTC
The reasons i said they were the same are:
- he describes the exact same symptoms as i saw in his bug description
- the same 845G card
- same messages in Xorg.0.log

he didn't supply a messages file so i don't know if he saw the same messages there.

I have since applied updates, i still see the freezes, but maybe less often and the last time didn't have the same messages in /var/log/messages as comment 25, before updates. Will be applying latest updates later on today.

if you want i can supply 

output from intel_gpu_dump
messages log
Xorg.0.log
anything else helpful

the next time it freezes (assuming latest updates don't fix it)

and bug 538563 does sound the same (same symptoms in Description of problem and same messages in /var/log/messages, i.e. INFO: task i915/0:108 blocked for more than 120 seconds. etc).

> matej: i've gone ahead and killed that bug.

It's probably better so, I didn't have to courage :(

Thanks, p.johns. The 'infinite loop' error is a very generic one and means very little - it can occur in all sorts of different cases, and doesn't actually indicate any one is the same bug as any other. But given the chipset and symptoms these two may well be the same. It would be good to see your X and kernel logs the next time the freeze happens, if it does. thanks!

Still getting the freezes. Have been using EXA the last few days, so attached files are from freeze with EXA. Attached bzipped archive with dmesg output, /var/log/messages, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and intel_gpu_dump output all from during the freeze by ssh'ing into machine with frozen display (except for mouse cursor).
Also looked at content of files in /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/ and when i tried "cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/bufs" it got stuck every time so that i could not kill cat process and had to log in from another terminal.

I can confirm the initial reported bug, and that it also affects Gnome.

I reportet a reproducible freeze in bug #538563 - which seems to be related to this bug. It all worked fine in F11.

Comment 41 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 05:57:46 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  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 '12'.

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 12'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 12 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:

Comment 42 Bug Zapper 2010-12-04 03:06:38 UTC
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 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.
