[Bug 444149] New: Computer locks up
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444149 Summary: Computer locks up Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bjohnson@blakeanthonyjohnson.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I don't know what else to say or include here. Basically, 95% of the time I leave my computer sitting idle, when I come back to it, it's locked up. I tried disabling Compiz at one point, but that did not really help. I've had it lock up on me once when I was actually using it. I was VNCed into another computer, and I clicked on the gnome-main-menu button on one of my panels. As soon as I did that, it locked up. I'm not really sure how to isolate this problem. This has been happening since around Beta 3 I think. -- 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.

Seeing as Novell is completely inept and useless, you all might try a solution I found. It requires you to compile and install new drivers but it is relatively easy to do.
There's no need for name calling. It's not productive and only draws attention away from the problem. OpenSUSE is a community distribution. Users, like yourself, are welcome to contribute to bug reports in ways beyond simply providing requested information to our development staff. The fact that compat-wireless works and the in-kernel driver does not is a good data point. It isolates the iwlwifi driver as the problem. Here's another interesting fact: The openSUSE 11.1 kernel does not contain any patches against iwlwifi other than the -stable series and a patch to handle a different Oops. This means that the problem is in the upstream kernel and we've inherited it. Novell has finite resources. As much as we'd like to, we can't fully investigate every bug report that we receive. Sometimes we just can't reproduce the bug ourselves, despite having a similar configuration. Please file a bug upstream at bugzilla.kernel.org, and provide the bug number here. -- 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.

Thanks for the information. Helmut, does it make sense to update iwlwifi firmware in openSUSE 11.1?
We have the newer ucode for SLED11 and Factory already, hence, no objections from my side. (In reply to comment #26)
I have a iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode, and also a iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode. I only replaced the '-2' one. What is the first one? Is that something I need to replace too, or can that stay as is?
The X in iwlwifi-4965-X.ucode specifies the firmware API version. The one with 1 at the end is only kept for compatibility reasons. As soon as the driver supports the newer API (and the one in 11.1 does) it will just ignore the firmware with API version 1. -- 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.

Did you use the http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.... to update your firmware?
This is not a firmware. This is just a completely different kernel; no firmware is included in that package.
My issue is that with no root users the computer locks, but mouse still works. Any way the log out process it does not work.
So, this is a different issue. -- 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.

As far as NVidia drivers goes, those are the only drivers besides VESA that work for me, the 'nv' driver is completely inoperative.
Then reproduce with VESA and without the nvidia kernel module, please.
The netconsole instructions in comment 33 appear to be incomplete - netstat does no listening of receiving of packets, it only displays what is listening or present. Thus, you'll need a socat or netcat invocation to listen on port 6666 (udp) and record data, at least that's what I'm getting out of the docs.
Oh, it's a typo, it should be "netcat". Thanks for noticing! Appending the (now hopefully correct) recipe to prevent confusion: ------ On the "monitoring" machine (i.e. not the one with the bug): ifconfig (record the "HWaddr" and "inet addr:" fields) rcSuSEfirewall2 stop (or, if the machine is not running openSUSE, disable the firewall in an appropriate way, in the worst case by running iptables -F) netcat -u -l -p 6666 On the "debugging" machine: echo '9 4 1 7' > /proc/sys/kernel/printk modprobe netconsole netconsole=@/,@INETADDR/HWADDR (replace INETADDR and HWADDR with the values you recorded above) ------ -- 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.
