Random desktop environment crash

Open UnoSD opened this issue 5 years ago • 95 comments

Initially please make sure the problem hasn't been already addressed:

  • [ yes ] Are you using the latest driver? (5.2.14) (https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu)
  • [ yes ] Are you using the latest EVDI version? (1.6.2.r29.gb5c5791-1, latest git commit) (https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/releases)
  • [ yes ] If you are using a DisplayLink device, have you checked 'troubleshooting' on DisplayLink's website? (https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/topics/103927-troubleshooting-ubuntu)
  • [ yes ] Is this issue related to evdi/kernel? (if it is rather connected to DisplayLinkManager please take a look at support https://support.displaylink.com or forum https://www.displaylink.org/forum/)

Some information for baseline would help a lot:

  • Linux distribution and its version Arch Linux
  • Linux kernel version 5.5.10-arch1-1
  • Xorg version (if used) 1.20.7
  • Desktop environment in use XFCE 4.14

Please provide good title for the issue and description.

I refrained from updating to kernel 5.5 for a while for the well know issue (package in Arch Linux AUR still does not have the patch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evdi/)

Since it was taking a while, I decided to try and update the kernel to 5.5 and used the git version of the Arch package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evdi-git/).

After updating, everything seemed to work, but, more than once during the same hour of usage, the desktop crashed killing the whole session and going back to the lightdm login screen. This never happened with the old evdi package and kernel 5.4; Unplugged from the docking station with evdi and dispalylink process running, this does not happen.

If you can give us logs they will be welcome but please don't paste long listings as they will make it hard to read the thread, instead you can use other services for sharing raw text like pastebin or gist.

can you please suggest what logs to share? Xorg.log? dmesg?

Thank you

Have same problem on Gentoo while having connected two displaylink devices. With Linux 5.4.24-ck (ck-patches, will try stock Gentoo kernel now with 5.5.13). Xorg-server 1.20.7 In Xorg-Logs there is nothing. But i've a kernel trace (journalctl -b).

Happens especially under having loads (e.g. looking HD videos or compiling in parallel):

As there is so much i915 and some kernel bug trackers mention heavy issues with Kernel 5.4.x and i915

@UnoSD : may you able to check if you have also kernel traces in your kernel log? As stated above, can check in terminal with journalctl -b and than search for the word trace or scroll by date/time of crash.

Would love to help if I can get an idea of the best place to start? :-)

@UnoSD : may you able to check if you have also kernel traces in your kernel log? As stated above, can check in terminal with journalctl -b and than search for the word trace or scroll by date/time of crash.

@monofox I just tried, but unfortunately it has been purged from the logs, it happened last time on the 23rd and then I decided to roll back to 5.4.

UnoSD avatar Mar 26 '20 08:03 UnoSD

All given stack traces here have to do with DRM so likeley evdi has some incompatibilities with kernel? Although don't get any traces with kernel 5.5.13, but had a smaller interval until next crash of display manager.

So switched back to kernel 5.2.3-ck to see if the crashes appears there as well for me.

@grant-traynor : does the issues appear for you on earlier kernel releases? You're right now using 5.5.11.

monofox avatar Mar 26 '20 09:03 monofox

Hi @monofox,

I'm happy to give it a crack. I've been using arch for about 5 years now and have not had a need to build a kernel since using it. So I'm pretty well out of practice in general, and have never done it on arch at all. Do you have a recommendation for the best method to do that? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel/Arch_Build_System ?

grant-traynor avatar Mar 26 '20 21:03 grant-traynor

Hi @grant-traynor, i know only the gentoo way, which mostly should work for all operation systems until some specific routines regarding initramfs is required. Download the kernel from https://www.kernel.org/ in the wanted version, take my current kernel configuration file, make oldconfig, make and make modules_install / make install, provide the initramfs file in /boot and regenerate the grub configuration with grub-mkconfig (the "easy" way of gentoo are two commands [emerge to download the sources and genkernel to do the rest). For Arch seems best to go the way, as described in your linked page. Of course, afterwards evdi must be recompiled.

I tested during the day my old kernel 5.2.3-ck which worked without any crash with same xorg, same evdi version. There was couple of minutes ago only one issue, that displaylink docking station freezed (no ethernet anymore, no usb, images were frozen). So this actually does not have to do with evdi.

OK. I'm running 5.2.3 now. I'll let you know how it goes.

So I've been running in the 5.2.3 kernel all day and it seems "rock solid". No issues. Good in fact. I'll stick on this version and report back if it fails, but I think you're onto something @monofox

Those bugs look to me like Intel drm bugs, especially after they did the eb_* rework. There are still bug reported all over the place about gnome-shell and gdm breaking.

Is someone willing to test a vanilla 5.6 kernel? If so let me know since evdi need a patch for 5.6 to work.

@abucodonosor : sure, i'm willing to test.

monofox avatar Mar 31 '20 12:03 monofox

@monofox I noticed @displaylink-dkurek already added a fix for 5.6 kernels in git.

This commit https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/commit/34d92e8a78a7a3b8df848b61469c783f352e360c. It is similar to my fix just with <= logic :-)

@monofox

nothing interesting in the logs. Can you maybe use journalctl or similar to get a full dmesg?

abucodonosor avatar Mar 31 '20 15:03 abucodonosor

@monofox

also have a look at https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/179 and https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/173

abucodonosor avatar Mar 31 '20 15:03 abucodonosor

@abucodonosor #179 does not affect me (messages and behaviour does not fit) #173 also referes to some hang or freeze, whereas messages and behaviour do not fit to my system.

Full log is here: https://gist.github.com/monofox/9199cb2a5a844c9c706c621b60f6c91b Relevant part starts at Mär 31 16:31:58 where the kernel module was loaded and Xserver restarted. On 16:32:08 display server was terminated and restarted intentionally by me. On 16:32:36 i've attached the DisplayLink docking station. You can ignore messages regarding NetworkManager - wifi fails always due to broken Intel wifi support in 5.6.0 and finally at 16:56:49 the xsession crashed. I don't have any coredump in coredumpctl list from today.

I didn't worked last two hours (so in last two hours nothing happened). But i'll stick a while for 5.6 and check how its going.

monofox avatar Mar 31 '20 17:03 monofox

@monofox

Still nothing interesting from edvi there. But the interesting part starts with you running out-of-date firmware for your iGPU :-). Please update linux-firmware package.

Well, #179 & 173 are all about those bugs, regarding the messages.

@abucodonosor : Package was up-to-date. Just my initramfs not. I've updated it. And made two tests: one with GUC enable and one with GUC disabled. In both cases, crash happens: https://gist.github.com/monofox/5a15cd0672dc6eacc4e0c1a987aceeb0 (same behaviour and unfortunately, the logs do not reveal any (for me) helpful).

monofox avatar Apr 01 '20 22:04 monofox

OK. Might be a bit premature, but I've been using this version for the whole morning with no issues, doing the sorts of things that would normally cause the crash (Videoconferencing, flowcharting and graphical stuff, Moving windows between the laptop and the two attached screens). It seems a little slower though?

For reference:

  1. Using awesomewm with predominantly chromium, Zoom, slack (thick client) and termite / terminals
  2. Installed evdi as a dkms module using AUR evdi-git
  3. Built the 5.6 kernel using the methods defined in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel/Arch_Build_System yesterday afternoon.
