Strange Xorg / Gnome Freeze with NVidia

youjh · 2010-01-07 23:38:18

Hey all,

So I installed Arch about a month ago, and its working fairly well so far.

The issue I'm having is that fairly frequently, the window manager will just freeze, and I can still use the current window, but cannot select another window, minimize/maximize the window, close it, or even use any of the 'File, Edit, View' drop down menus. Also, my panel at the top of the screen becomes non-responsive, and I cannot use the menus to restart or use gnome-do to open the terminal. However, I can still use hotkeys to switch workspaces.

The only work around I have figured out so far is to use CTRL-ALT-Bkspace to restart X, but it kinda sucks when I'm writing a paper or making a spreadsheet, because I am unable to save it (Menus/save hotkeys aren't responsive)

I have poured through forums for the last month, but haven't found anything like my problem. I tried uninstalling Compiz but I still had the same problem, so I think my issue is with Gnome. I haven't seen anything in the logs that would indicate a problem, but maybe I missed something. The biggest frustration is that I cannot figure out how to replicate it as it seems entirely random. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My specs:
Gnome 2.28.2
Linux 2.6.31-ARCH (x64)

Intel P8700 dual core
NVidia Geforce 240M GT

i have nearly the same problem..

when i start xorg for the first time it freezes
i have seen that caps-lock on my keyboard is blinking and sometimes it's just on and then when i press return xorg freezes...

when i restart xorg over ssh (yea strg+alt+f1 does not work.. maybe the graphic card ist blocked by xorg..) it runs fine.. tested it over several days now.. always the same...

oh and here the xorg.conf

ar yea another thing... cause i'm not a totally noob i looked for problems in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and dmesg and so on.. but the only thing i found was something about fonts that i have fixed with reinstalling xorg but it still freezes...

there is no kernel message, no xorg log, nothing...

pls help me

oh and sorry for my bad english i'm from germany and i'm totally sleepy at the moment...

O.o, you're experiencing the same symptom as me, my Arch freezes up on me and dies, my solution is a hard reboot but I'm asking in the workstation user for helps, I believe the problem is with the video card support, hm... your using nvidia and me ATI, did you get the manufacturer approved linux driver?

i first tried the "nvidia" driver from pacman and as this freezing began i installed directly from nvidia.com but did not help.. ( i think it's the same driver )

oh and my machine ist not freezed.. just every graphic output (tried with 2 graphic cards. both frozed.).. i can still kill xorg over ssh (but only with SIGKILL or higher.. otherwise xorg does not react... even "/etc/rc.d/gdm stop" did not help.. it stops xorg if it's running normally

loafer · 2010-01-08 21:25:52

I assume your systems are up-to-date? If so does downgrading to a previous kernel / nvidia package help?

On another note sticking your config files in some code tags makes them a lot easier to read.

oh..uff.. i am currently running 2.6.32-ARCH.. 2.6.31-ARCH was running fine, didn't remember any problems with this version... i will downgrade tomorrow and tell you if the problem is fixed by this

yea you are right xD didnt see it...

youjh · 2010-01-08 22:36:53

OK, so I am running arch 2.6.31 on an up-to-date system (at the time of the first post. I'm upgrading right now again, since one day changes a lot, apparently) and I still have this problem. I'll try updating, but I seriously doubt its a kernel issue.

Also, the nvidia driver I am using is the one off of pacman I found through the Arch install config. If this driver is broken, perhaps the install should reflect this and point users to NVidia's site.

The problem I am having is not a total system freeze, because I can still change workspaces with hot keys, but the panels stop responding, as does every window except for the currently selected one. Even the menu bars of the currently selected window stop working!

And sorry about the code tag thing. I fixed it :-p

I had a similar issue with 2.6.32-ARCH (x64) and nvidia 190.53-1, system would lag to a point that it would just freeze and i could do nothing but do a hard reset. Downgrading to 2.6.31-ARCH and nvidia 190.42-1 seems to have solved the problem for me.

However i now have an issue with conky flickering even though i have double buffering enabled in my xorg.conf

Try to remove gdm from daemon list in your /etc/rc.conf. After modify your /etc/inittab like this:

#
# /etc/inittab
#

#  Runlevels:
#    0    Halt
#    1(S)    Single-user
#    2    Not used
#    3    Multi-user
#    4    Not used
#    5    X11
#    6    Reboot

## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:

rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
rs:S1:wait:/etc/rc.single

c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty5 linux
c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty6 linux

ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now

# Example lines for starting a login manager
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null

# End of file

Another solution is moving gdm to last position in daemon list.

youjh · 2010-01-10 19:30:58

Andru, I had gdm at the end of my rc.conf, but I was apparently in run level 3 and using xdm.

I made your changes to run level 5 and gdm, and I'll let you know if my problem goes away.
Thanks!

youjh · 2010-01-13 03:45:43

Yeah, so that didn't work. I'm still getting the random panel / window freezes. :-(

Update:
So good news, I at least finally caught the error I am getting.
After it locked, I hit ctrl-alt-f2 and tried to dig around the logs for any errors. I didn't see any, but trying to return to X gave me this:

(gdm-binary:4209): Warning: could not acquire name; bailing out
(gdm-binary:4209): Warning: failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager

Any Ideas?

i think this only means that gnome cant access itself..

oh btw i tried an older kernel version.. same problem...

youjh · 2010-01-14 17:40:25

OK, so its not the problem, its itself noticing the problem.

Another discrepancy. While shutting down normally today, the log said that it failed to terminate GDM.
I'm starting to thing I have some sort of GDM bug.

hm.. can you try if your xorg is stable if you launch it directly... then we will know if gdm is the problem

oh btw vncserver ist running stable so i think it's really a bug with the nvidia thing and/or gdm.. cant test it directly on my machine cause i'm converting some video files and i don't want to cancel it

Edit: Ok i've tried running xorg standalone.. it's running fine for over 5 hours now so i think it's really a gdm bug *happy*

I don't think xorg is the problem, as I can still use ctrl-alt-bksp to restart x, as well as use the pseudo terminals. The window panes and desktop panels freeze, preventing me from doing anything except use the current window I'm looking at, which is a huge pain.

It may be related to this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=675909

As soon as I figure out how, I'm going to run memtest86+ (As both boot and in linux, as suggested in the thread). It may be a bad memory problem.

The latest pacman update broke my wireless, so I'm stuck using only windows 7 now. So schlecht. :-(

youjh · 2010-01-20 06:07:50

OK, so memtest86+ v4.0 passed with flying colors.
I am convinced it is some sort of thing with gdm or nvidia

Anyone with any thoughts/suggestions? I'm completely lost...

Hmm. I'm starting to notice that this problem really only occurs when I have Open Office running.
Has anyone had any problems with OO freezing the system?

Kasumi_Ninja · 2010-01-24 19:24:08

I had the same problem with Gnome freezing regularly I have a on-board ati card using the 'radeon' driver. Switching to KDE4 solved this problem for me.

youjh · 2010-01-24 21:28:12

Hmm. I really dislike KDE. I'd prefer to fix Gnome instead.

onety-three · 2010-01-25 12:24:00

This exact problem has been bugging me for about a month, and I just today talked with a friend who's also experiencing it.
We're both using KDE4. He's on free radeon drivers, I'm on the proprietary nVidia driver.
BTW, no OpenOffice involved for me. Usually, I only have a Konqueror window open when it happens.

So, I think we can safely say that this is a problem in X - but I wouldn't know how to report it because it's just so damn random.

It should be noted that nothing actually freezes - it's more like the input doesn't get routed to the right applications. Clicks go through other applications directly to the one application that remains "active". For me, it also affects keyboard input, albeit a little differently. It's hard to find patterns in what works and what doesn't when this bug gets triggered.

Killing and restarting plasma-desktop and kwin allows them to get some input again, so I can at least log off cleanly. But without a restart of X I can't get proper behaviour again.

onety-three · 2010-01-25 15:27:45

My aforementioned friend has created a bug for this at freedesktop.org.
Please help and add any additonal information that could be helpful.

Fantastic. I am glad to hear that someone else has this problem.

I found an Ubuntu bug report which is the exact same issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/362359

It seems to be either related to xinerama in x.org, which is installed in x.org even if you don't use it, or a bug with synaptic.
