https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694018 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694018#c1 --- Comment #1 from Daniel Morris 2011-05-16 13:03:45 UTC --- Lockup #4, this time with my xterm on the left hand side of the screen, well away from the notifier and taskbar. I was just closing the body of a mail in my 80x35 window to go back to the pager view. Also, this time it recovered after a couple of minutes, as I'd ssh'd in and was poking around the log files. I happened to shiggle the mouse and must have pushed it to the top LH corner and it brought up tiles of all the active applications. At the same time it also dropped the following into Xorg.0.log (definitely not there seconds before):- [ 6170.029] [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

I created an 80x35 yellow text on black background profile for konsole, so it even mimics my mutt-in-xterm setup, and I haven't seen it lock for five days (whereas I got three crashes in 45 mins before). This has been with the default kernel, I should probably reboot to the desktop one, as this seemed even more prone to locking. My defacto terminal setup was:- 'xterm -geometry 80x35 -fg yellow -bg black-fn -b\&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-17-120-100-100-m-100-iso10646-1 -title "`uname -n` Yellow & Black xterm" -s -j -sb -sl 4000 -rw &' -- 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.

GPU idle, missed IRQ." also happens to me on a i7-2600K Sandybridge integrated intel graphics card. I use Compiz and this driver never worked very reliably. Sometimes, after using a 3D application (like Blender) I would just lose composition or get strange artifacts. However only since recently it started hanging hard. I sometimes can still switch to tty1 and do a init 3 -> init 5 sequence to get the machine back. Other times I have to ssh from another computer to do that. I think the start of the hangs coincided with the latest kernel update, but I can't be sure of that. I've already compiled a vanilla 3.0.0 kernel for that machine, so I might try that to have an extra data point later, since with the current kernel I get at least one hang in a couple of hours working with the machine. BTW, not working with the machine and just leaving the screensaver on is enough for it to hang, too. I really think the severity of this bug is understated: for a regular user, this is a hard freeze of the machine, only solvable by a reset, losing all the current work. -- 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.

My Graphiccard is a combination Intel / Nvidia-Optimus. I used the Default Intel driver. I think it have nothing to do with the screensaver matrix (got it too), because the system hangs sometimes directly after i logged in. Your workaround: =========== As workaround I edited the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf with adding the line "... Driver "fbdev" .." =========== works for me, but it disables all Display-effects. Ok, i can live with it, but i hope for a fix soon. -- 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.

But was the window manager the only thing updated? No kernel, no drm, etc?

at this time, only the window manager has been updated per one-click install from here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_3.0 after successful installation, several other package-updates have been made​​. i'm sure, there was no kernel update at this time (i dont need to reboot). the system running 3 days without any problem, before i have made a kernel update to current version 2.6.37.6-0.9-desktop. the error-message *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU idle, missed IRQ. is no longer present. -- 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.

Reports against openSUSE 11.4 and prior will not get the attention needed to resolve them before openSUSE 12.2 is release and openSUSE 11.4 becomes unmaintained. Please re-test with openSUSE 12.1 or openSUSE RC2+ and re-open with an updated Product if you still encounter your issue. We apologize for this issue not getting the attention it deserves but we are focusing our resources in the area where they will have the most impact for our users. We're working hard to make openSUSE 12.2 the best openSUSE release yet! -- 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.
