Re: Dell XPS 13 9350 Late 2015

Hi guys,

Can someone help with some dmesg errors?

[drm:finish_csr_load [i915]] *ERROR* Unknown stepping info, firmware loading failed
[drm:intel_dp_link_training_channel_equalization [i915]] *ERROR* 5.4 Gbps link rate without HBR2/TPS3 support

I don't have intel_agp as a module in mkinitcpio. It makes the gpu crash (i7 6560u).
But even with it the error comes up.

acpi PNP0C0B:00: Setting initial power state

There are 4 or 5 of these each time and a bunch of stuff in between. I don't remember seeing the acpi error until I started to mess with power management. systemctl suspend did suspend to ram, but the laptop just restarted (back to the dell logo) when I tried to resume. I fixed it by creating these: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Po … vice_files
Closing the lid also suspended after commenting out the handle in the systemd config. But then I played around and installed acpid, and it also worked, but I uninstalled it and let systemd control acpi events again. Something went wrong somewhere since I get the errors now. There are also a bunch of these: 

ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_TZ.TZ00._TMP] (Node ffff88027810f730), AE_NOT_FOUND (20150930/psparse-542)

I also see these in red: 

brcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Firmware version = wl0: Oct 22 2015 06:16:26 version 7.35.180.119 (r594535) FWID 01-e791c176
brcmfmac: brcmf_cfg80211_reg_notifier: not a ISO3166 code

These have been here since I installed Arch Linux: 

brcmfmac 0000:3a:00.0: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4350-pcie.txt failed with error -2
bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM-0a5c-6412.hcd failed with error -2
brcmfmac: brcmf_add_if: ERROR: netdev:wlp58s0 already exists
brcmfmac: brcmf_add_if: ignore IF event

The laptop works fine. The only real problem I have is sometimes it does not reboot or shutdown. I use the gnome buttons and have tried systemctl commands, and most of the time it does reboot and shutdown, but sometimes it doesn't. Also sometimes after rebooting, I just get a black screen.

Edit on ACPI errors: I have resume as a hook in mkinitcpio.conf. But I haven't setup hibernation yet. Maybe this is part of the problem?

Re: Dell XPS 13 9350 Late 2015

I have also the brcmf errors but the WiFi is working, it doesn't even break after the suspend to RAM. That should not be a problem.
Also, I have the resume hook without the resume parameter in the bootloader (which is the systemd-boot) and the system boots normally.

My wifi also works. Currently using network manager. I did have this one anomoly, where after booting, gnome reported that I had a wired adapter, which is weird because the 9350 doesn't even have an ethernet port, and I didn't have any type of adapter connected. WiFi did not work when this happened, but a simple restart of the machine fixed it.

Right now I'm trying to figure out the reason for the error messages. Which are my fault, which are the kernel's (4.4.5-1) fault, and which are due to Dell's bios.

thanks, that solved it! I'm running i915 with enable_fbc=0 now.

Re: Dell XPS 13 9350 Late 2015

Hello everybody!
I just installed Arch on my brand new XPS 13 (i7 6560u - Iris Pro 540 - 8GB DDR3 - 256GB - QHD+)

I read most of this thread, and tried to get things work, but I still have some problems.
First of all, GPU hangs (mostly when I'm using Firefox or GNOME Tweak Tool).

I resolved by using this configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Intel Graphics"
        Driver          "intel"
        Option          "DRI"           "false"
EndSection

But this configuration, along with kernel params 

i915.enable_fbc=1 i915.enable_rc6=7

gives poor performances, so I'm booting without kernel params whatsoever.

Downloaded GUC and DMC from 01.org, and installed through their scripts using dracut, but this is the output of lsinitcpio -l /boot/initramfs-linux.img | grep i915

usr/lib/firmware/i915
usr/lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_ver4.bin
usr/lib/firmware/i915/skl_dmc_ver1.bin
usr/lib/firmware/i915/bxt_dmc_ver1.bin
usr/lib/modules/4.5.0-1-ARCH/kernel/i915.ko

Everything else just works, fortunately.
I have some strage outputs regarding ACPI in dmesg

Could anyone post results with GPU hangs and give me an hand to update GUC and DMC?
Thanks smile

Since you have the Iris 540, you are probably dealing with this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94161. Most consistent anti-hanging-measure for me is adding i915.enable_rc6=0 to the kernel boot parameters. Bad for battery life, but this seems to be it for now.

It's the same as yours (except for a lot of experimenting-mess wink). When using the kernel paramenter as suggested, you can swith DRI back on (Option "DRI" "3").

I cannot see GPU temps

GPU is a part of CPU, temperature I think temps about the same, do not think it has a separate sensor.

Re: Dell XPS 13 9350 Late 2015

What about DMC and GUC update?
How did you managed to do it?

My initramfs uses older version, after the installation of the new one (I used dracut)

EDIT: BIOS 1.3.3 is out

Hello everyone,

A new BIOS version is available : 1.3.3 http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER0359689 … _1.3.3.exe

To update, put the file in /boot/EFI, connect the XPS to the AC power adaptater, remove every USB device connected (the update of the USB C controler give a error if something is plug in), boot with F12, "Flash update" entry, select the file and flash.

It has solve the long boot time bug, systemd-analyse previously reported 10 sec spend in the firmware, now it is close to 5 sec. 

Startup finished in 5.079s (firmware) + 153ms (loader) + 2.453s (kernel) + 896ms (userspace) = 8.583s

Seems like some people had trouble during the update process https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/ … 133_update

I would wait before flashing anything.

Re: Dell XPS 13 9350 Late 2015

I upgraded to kernel 4.5 from testing yesterday, but it started flickering on the laptop's screen. I've put i915.enable_fbc=0 in my boot parameters, but that didn't fix anything sad

I've also been having issues (over several kernel versions) that when I have some images on a second screen (eg. some reddit pages trigger it), the second screen turns off. When I move the screen or alt-tab so another window gets drawn over it, the screen turns back on, when I go back to the previous window, the screen turns off again.

Re: Dell XPS 13 9350 Late 2015

There's a patch that fixes the GPU hang on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94161
Works for me.

If you want, here's my patched kernel. Its just a fork of linux-mainline from AUR with the patch and my own kernel config.
makepkg -s should get you started. Feel free to replace config.x86_64 by the default one if you prefer it ;-)

Looks like 1.3.3 is back. Just flashed it and no issues, not even a seizure screen. I forgot to keep the old one around (I downloaded the first one but saw the posts of issues before I flashed it) to check for differences, but I think the file size changed.

Does anyone else suffer from regular failed boots? Similar to I saw with the 4.3 kernel without the correct boot params, as in attempting to start straight into sddm leads to a blank screen, where a successful boot goes blank briefly but keeps going, except I'm now running 4.4.5-1 from core. I thought it was this problem but I'm not so sure any more. Any hints on where to look for useful logs would be great, I'm not really sure where to start and anything I've look at seems to be a dead end.
