Description cornel panceac 2013-01-29 19:34:40 UTC
Description of problem:
After upgrading from 3.6 to 3.7, funny things suddenly began happening in one of my f17 systems: crashes at boot, before gdm is displayed. or during usage. Sometimes the colors look like the mess that is displayed in eog in fedora 18 for some pictures, sometimes.

There is also a bug report for a similar problem (in that is the 3.7 kernel involved) on freedesktop.org but i can't find it now

$ lspci -nn | grep VGA
00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] [10de:03d0] (rev a2)

The kernel that crashed was: 
kernel-PAE-3.7.3-101.fc17.i686

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-37.20120306gitf5d1cd2.fc17.i686


How reproducible:
randomly.

Steps to Reproduce:

2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

for now there's no error in /var/log/messages or in Xorg.*.log .
the system just freeezed.

here are the last lines before the crash:

the locked system screen

reproduction steps according to user are: open pidgin, enter yahoo account, select "Open inbox" from "Accounts". then this funny screen appears and system is dead: no keyboard, no mouse, no ssh. i'll attempt to add some configuration options for debugging, and check if i can get more out of this. right now in /var/log/messages and Xorg*.log i haven't found anything useful. i'll report back today everything i can, since tonight i had to leave for three weeks.

Comment 5 cornel panceac 2013-02-03 07:19:26 UTC
looking with meld at differences between Xorg.0.log (good, 3.6 kernel) and .old (supposedly bad, 3.7 kernel) i've noticed one line:

[    30.801] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.0.0

which, in .old is:

[    30.893] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.1.0

also, in /var/log/messages, the kernels that die have this lines:

Feb  3 08:58:23 logalhost kernel: [   93.625828] nouveau  [     DRM] native mode from preferred
Feb  3 08:58:39 logalhost goa[1585]: goa-daemon version 3.4.2 starting [main.c:112, main()]
Feb  3 08:58:43 logalhost kernel: [  113.339949] nouveau  [    1606] ib channel create, -22

and then system is locked,

while on kernel where firefox starts fine is:

Feb  3 09:05:57 logalhost dbus[715]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.PackageKit'
Feb  3 09:06:15 logalhost goa[1578]: goa-daemon version 3.4.2 starting [main.c:112, main()]

and that's it, firefox is up'n'running, system is alive.

this time the kernel line is like this:

# cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.6.11-5.fc17.i686.PAE root=/dev/mapper/vg_logalhost-lv_root rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us quiet rd.lvm.lv=vg_logalhost/lv_swap SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.luks=0 rd.lvm.lv=vg_logalhost/lv_root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ro rhgb drm.debug=14 log_buf_len=16M

i'll attach the two Xorg logs, and tail -f /var/log/messages in both cases.

there is one problem with the Xorg.0.log.old: it is obtained afaict with a patched f18 kernel, but the behaviour is the same as the native f17 3.7.3 kernel.

yes, the similarity is amazing. i've also seen backtraces similar at least with the one you've posted there, but on geforce 7300. at some point i've also reported some kernel bugs on redhat's bugzilla, for those.

Xorg.0.log for NVIDIA GeForce 6100

For an NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6100 nForce 405] [10de:03d1] (rev a2) video device, X locks up after a few seconds for any kernel 3.7.x of current F18. The last working kernel is kernel-3.6.11-3.fc18. Even the latest F18 build kernel-3.7.9-201.fc18 is affected. Installed packages include:
- libdrm-2.4.42-1.fc18
- mesa-libGL-9.0.1-4.fc18
- xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.6-4.fc18
- xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.13.2-2.fc18

Comment 16 Jon Dufresne 2013-02-21 13:41:29 UTC
I've reported a similar bug 919259. It may be a duplicate of this bug. The last working kernel for me was kernel-3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64. All 3.7 kernels fail.

Comment 17 Jon Dufresne 2013-02-21 13:42:49 UTC
Sorry, the correct that should read bug 912459.

Comment 18 Tore Anderson 2013-02-27 11:36:14 UTC
I've had major problems since upgrading to F18 as well. Sometimes X will hang and not respond to input. Often it will eventually recover, but sometimes not. Various error messages from noveau appear in dmesg, see below for an example.

My display adapter is:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM)] (rev a1)

Dmesg after errors on kernel 3.8.3

Retested after latest update to kernel 3.8.3. Same problems, bug still exists.

Comment 20 cornel panceac 2013-03-29 17:55:03 UTC
For the orginal system the bug was opened for, none of the 3.7 kernels worked. Same is true for the new 3.8.3-103 installed kernel. The system sometimes hanged before gdm, but it always fails when opening firefox and attempting some browsing.

kernel-PAE-3.6.11-5.fc17.i686
still works decently. still, the system may hang before gdm, even with this kernel.

Comment 21 Joachim Frieben 2013-05-04 16:15:41 UTC
Issue still applies to a fully updated F19 system including kernel-3.9.0-301.fc19.

Comment 22 T-Gergely 2013-07-02 19:08:16 UTC
Tried kernel-PAE-3.9.8-100.fc17.i686, and it seems to work so far. Anyone else can confirm this? I may retry F18/19 x64 then that I've given up because of the same problem.

Comment 23 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-03 21:09:30 UTC
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.

Comment 24 cornel panceac 2013-07-10 19:56:11 UTC
if anyone has rights, please update version to f19 x32.

Comment 25 cornel panceac 2013-07-12 17:50:39 UTC
it seems that i have rights :)

anyway, gnome-shell, in particular, has much less artifacts in 3.9.9 than in 3.9.5. but, when i was about to gladly report that 3.9.9 fixes the problem, it hapened again. the opening of firefox and yahoo and whatever sites the user opened, locked the system again. I attempted to switch to nvidia driver but for some reason this failed for me, although arobatino reported that it worked for him. so here we are: 3.(7,8,9) has broken support for nvidia 6150 se so i reverted to using some 3.6 kernel that i have luckily found in fedora 18 release directory.

Wow, it has worked for 2 weeks. Now, it crashed while browsing with chromium. :(

Comment 28 Clinton Work 2013-12-24 19:08:15 UTC
I'm seeing the same problem with Fedora 19 and a Nvidia GTX 660 card.   

The nouveau driver starts to spit out a constant stream of these errors after running fine for a random period of time.  The only way to recover is to reboot the system.  I avoided the issue in the past by running the binary nvidia drivers.

Completely unrelated issue.  Please open a new bug report.  For what it's worth, I've noted issues on GK106 related to multiple applications (X + a compositor would count, even without anything else) where the GPU can hang while context switching.

It's on my plate to fix upstream.  But, yeah, open the new bug and I'll track it for you there.  Please provide a full dmesg log when you do :)

It's entirely possible your issue is related to AGP here.  You can try nouveau.agpmode=0 as a workaround.

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 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.

Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

This can be reproduced on F22 with 4.1.8-200.fc22.i686+PAE. Last time it happened by just opening news.yahoo.com in Epiphany. But is not an always issue. However seems to happen more often if you watch a full screen video.

This bug is currently assigned to an unsupported release. If you think this bug is still valid and should remain open, please re-assign it to a supported release (F22, F23) or to rawhide.

Bugs which will be assigned to an unsupported release are going to be closed as EOL (End Of Life) on January 26th, 2016.

Comment 36 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 10:06:45 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 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. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

This is still happening on F24. I don't have the kernel version at hand but i think it's irrelevant. The bug was introduced back then and nobody ever took it out.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. 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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.
