[FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

After a suspend-resume cycle or switching to another tty and back, I get graphical corruption in Chromium. I sometimes get corruption in Cura too, but I can't replicate this right now. In Chromium, the webpages are black, and I occasionally get scrambled multicoloured rectangles across the window. Sometimes I scroll and recover some content, but this often doesn't help.

I have a Nvidia card, so I tried putting options nvidia NVreg_RegisterForACPIEvents=1 NVreg_EnableMSI=1 into /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf. After restarting:

$ modinfo nvidia
...
parm:           NVreg_RegisterForACPIEvents:int
...
parm:           NVreg_EnableMSI:int

However, this did not fix the problem. I don't see anything in journalctl, but I see the following in /var/log/Xorg.0.log after switching to another tty and back.

I tried searching the Arch forums for "ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon", but after ten minutes of "504 Gateway Time-out" errors I gave up.

I also tried launching Chromium with chromium --enable-gpu-rasterization --ignore-gpu-blacklist --disable-gpu-driver-workarounds, but this did not help.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

Nvidia has a newer, optional configuration that should help preventing video memory corruption from suspension wake-up like this, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … er_suspend and the linked upstream documentation for how to set that up.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

Thanks @V1del. I read your link and the upstream link, and it seems like the upstream services are already shipped in the nvidia-utils package. I enabled nvidia-suspend.service and nvidia-hibernate.service, restarted, launched Chromium, then went through a suspend-resume cycle, but this didn't help. The artefacts were still present.

Also, the systemd services mentioned only address the suspend-resume cycle, and not any tty-switching issues. That's totally fine, but presuming both problems are caused by the same issue, it seems like the link might be unrelated.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

I managed to capture a screenshot of the "colourful" version of the artefacts. I'm not sure if it's informative or not.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

Maybe modelining might help. Some info here (Arch Wiki) and here (Ubuntu doc). I think I still have my desktop Arch installation's display modelined, but no need to suspend or sleep that computer, so zero expirience on the issue.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

Thanks @euromatlox for the reply. Isn't modelining to do with getting specific resolutions working with the monitor? I'm not sure if I misunderstand. My resolution is fine; it's set to the native resolution for my monitor. Also, if I (re)start Chromium, it never shows artefacts. It's only buggy after suspend-resume or switching tty, so I presume these issues are unrelated to general monitor/resolution display issues. And if it were a general issue, I would have expected programs like Firefox to be affected, but it's only Chromium and a few others with the issue.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

I remember that without modeline I could not get display work as it should. Using modeline is a way to make sure that Hz and resolution are stable everytime. But I think nowadays modeline in xorg is usually not needed. Modeline row also contains those VSYNC and HSYNC, it allows to 'play' with those too. I do not know how to 'play' those two without modeline (perhaps xset something).

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

That might make sense, but I would have expected those kind of artefacts to be over the entire display, instead of just in a few applications.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

I did more troubleshooting. I removed all nvidia xorg.conf files, I tried booting with linux-lts instead of linux, and I tried disabling compositing, but nothing helped.

I also noticed some errors during the launching of chromium (but not after inducing the artefacts themselves).

with the error above the ellipsis repeated seven times. These errors occur whether launching normally, or enabling the GPU with chromium --enable-gpu-rasterization --ignore-gpu-blocklist --disable-gpu-driver-workarounds.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

I don't know what nvidia gpu do you have or is it hardware acceleration enabled by default in chromium in your case, but try to disable hardware acceleration in chromium,  just for test, to see if there is any difference.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

@xerses_ I have a GTX 1070. My understanding is that hardware acceleration is off by default, but the flags I mention above enable it. i.e. if I launch with chromium --enable-gpu-rasterization --ignore-gpu-blocklist --disable-gpu-driver-workarounds, then navigate to chrome://gpu/, I can see:

Graphics Feature Status
Canvas: Hardware accelerated
Compositing: Hardware accelerated
Multiple Raster Threads: Enabled
Out-of-process Rasterization: Disabled
OpenGL: Enabled
Hardware Protected Video Decode: Hardware accelerated
Rasterization: Hardware accelerated on all pages
Skia Renderer: Enabled
Video Decode: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
Vulkan: Disabled
WebGL: Hardware accelerated
WebGL2: Hardware accelerated

When launching without these flags, Hardware Protected Video Decode says "Unavailable", and Rasterization says "Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled".

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

So after resume from suspend you will have to restart chromium (and other apps with that issue) or donn't suspend system at all.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

Or use prime render offload and stop using nvidia driver for desktop apps by relying on the integrated gpu.

Yes, I have to restart chromium to remove the artefacts. Then it's fine again until the next suspend-resume or tty-switch.

Can I still use that on my desktop computer? I have the closed-source Nvidia driver installed, but tried this command anyway.

$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x1b8 cap: 0x1, Source Output crtcs: 4 outputs: 8 associated providers: 0 name:NVIDIA-0

From your link, I think PRIME needs there to be two providers, i.e. the integrated card as well. I'm not sure if relevant, but my monitor is also plugged into the GPU card, not the motherboard.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

Salkay, i use it on my desktop computer and xrandr returns 2 providers:

[14:09:03]  cd ~
koko@Gozer# xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x47 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 4 associated providers: 1 name:Intel
Provider 1: id: 0x202 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 4 outputs: 4 associated providers: 1 name:NVIDIA-G0

I've had to explicitely enable the igp and the support for multiple gpus in the bios.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

Hmm… I couldn't really get this to work. I found the setting in BIOS, and enabled the integrated GPU. However, even without changing anything else, I couldn't progress past the terminal output immediately after the GRUB selection, i.e. I didn't make it to the tty login screen. I found another cable and tried switching to the motherboard output in the BIOS. I then made it to the tty login screen, but startx froze. No matter, it's not the biggest deal in the world. I normally use Firefox, but a handful of sites don't work and I need Chromium. It seems simpler to just restart Chromium (and Cura) every time.

Re: [FIXED?] Chromium artefacts after resume from suspend or tty switch

I also have this same problem. It has been annoying me for about a month. Before then, everything was fine. Not sure if the problem was introduced by a chromium, linux or nvidia update or a combination of these.

If I restart chromium after resuming, the artifacts go away and chromium works normally. If I go into Settings -> Advanced and disable "Use hardware acceleration when available" the problem also goes away and I can successfully suspend and resume without any issues. The problem is, my NVIDIA graphics drives 2 external 4K monitors from my laptop and performance is bad with hardware acceleration disabled.

I have not found a satisfactory solution to this yet other than the workaround of having to close and reopen chromium, which is annoying and slow when I usually have 4 windows and many tabs open.

I can confirm that this fixes it for me. I agree this is not optimal, nor will it fix cura, steam, and other programs.

Great, thanks for confirming that works for you @Salkay. Most likely we are experiencing the same issue then. Please do update this thread if you make any progress on this issue and I will do the same. Thanks!

Will do! TBH I really have no idea where to start though. Are you using the Nvidia proprietary drivers? It might be a bug there, but I'm not really keen to change.

Yes, I'm using the NVIDIA proprietary driver. It took me a while to get my X config straightened out the way I want with hybrid graphics on my laptop using optimus-manager. I don't really want to change either unless there is a very good reason to.

FWIW I just tested with linux 5.9.1.arch1-1, and the bug is still present with Nvidia.
