nouveau bug locks screen
Last modified: 2013-07-31 17:48:29 EDT
Description of problem: When starting F17 Beta, X works.... until I start Chrome, with a large number of tabs. Something about doing that triggers X to lock up, with these lines in dmesg being produced when it does so: [ 243.253301] [drm] nouveau 0000:05:00.0: PFIFO: write fault at 0x0000ffd000 [PAGE_NOT_PRESENT] from BAR3/BAR_WRITE on channel 0x0000068000 [ 243.253308] [drm] nouveau 0000:05:00.0: PFIFO: unknown status 0x40000000 [ 243.256352] [drm] nouveau 0000:05:00.0: PFIFO: write fault at 0x0000010000 [PT_NOT_PRESENT] from BAR1/BAR_WRITE on channel 0x0000072000 [ 243.256360] [drm] nouveau 0000:05:00.0: PFIFO: unknown status 0x40000000 The video card I have is thus: 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: eVga.com.

Does this still happen with the 3.4.4-5 kernel?
I've only been running it a little while now, so I can't say yet. It usually takes 2 to 7 days for this lockup to occur. I'll keep you posted.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17'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 17 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
