In the cases I've witnessed, Firefox does not get killed until I switch to the virtual desktop on which its displayed, at which time it is killed immediately without even getting a chance to redraw anything. After this, other applications start getting killed, too. I've noticed GKrellM killed, but not Konsole. And once this occurs, it's never long before the entire X login session is terminated and I'm presented with the login screen / desktop manager. It may or may not be relevant that the time elapsed has always been enough for both the screen saver and then DPMS to activate.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216149 ------- Comment #8 from rschulz@sonic.net 2006-10-30 14:38 MST ------- I strongly doubt that's the case. The system has 4GB of physical ram (and _is_ running a bigsmp kernel) and in the cases I've observed it so far, not even half of the system's RAM had be used for anything. After the first couple of occurrences, I stopped using the system for much of anything. I log in, which starts a default complement of KDE desktop applications and processes plus GKrellM, Konsole and a couple of local Konqueror windows and then I manually launch Firefox. That (and time) is all it takes to reliably trigger the symptom.

It's currently running over 3 MB. By the way, I'm using the "Vermiculate" screen saver, which to my knowledge does not use OpenGL. And unless stock KDE and / or Firefox use OpenGL, there's nothing running that does use it.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216149 ------- Comment #28 from rschulz@sonic.net 2006-10-31 17:49 MST ------- Another update: With the nVidia proprietary driver version 8774 the symptom occurs in the same manner and after approximately the same amount of elapsed time as with the open driver. The diagnostics in ~/.xsession-errors are the same as with the nv driver. Furthermore, those same diagnostics are recorded when trying to launch applications once the first application crash occurs. To wit: The program 'galculator' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 960 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Another thing I'll note is that it seems that already running applications die upon switching from one virtual desktop _to_ the one on which they're displayed. That certainly characterizes the GKrellM and Firefox crashes. The "mtrr" diagnostic does not occur when applications die. This time I could not induce the entire session to die, but KWin crashed. When I finally ended the session, /var/log/messages did record this message: Oct 31 16:47:03 smiley kernel: mtrr: type mismatch for c0000000,10000000 old: uncachable new: write-combining RRS -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

This seems like an X and/or kernel bug at this point, although that mtrr type mismatch leads me to wonder if there's a BIOS problem too.
Probably yes. I doubt it is a kernel bug, the kernel isn't much involved when the nv driver is used.

In fact, this is where I *first* experienced it. Sometimes it would be X restarting in the middle of me writing an e-mail or browsing a web page, taking me back to gdm. Recently, it's been a lot of X just 'locking up'. Apps won't respond and in most cases keyboard response might go as well. On 10.1 this is with xorg-x11-*-6.9.0 packages and an ATI Radeon 9550 (RV350-4153) video card. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Make sure to have the -debug packages for xorg-x11-server, xorg-x11-driver-video and xorg-x11-driver-input installed and start the Xserver in gdb via ssh remotely (so you need a second machine). Then start your session on top of this Xserver. Once the Xserver crashes you can at least make a backtrace ('bt' command). Is this something you can do to help investigate this problem? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I stayed logged in since the first boot after upgrading to RC1. On the hunch that having Firefox running might have been a factor in leading to the X server crash, I didn't start it right away. There was no failure for about 11 hours like that. Then I started Firefox and it has been over four hours since then and still it hasn't crashed. Usually one and a half to two hours was enough for it to crash. I think this bug can tentatively be considered fixed.
