Well as far as I can tell this doesn't happen in 2.6.33-rc3, just had a lockup again on 2.6.32.3 after screen suspended itself, BUG Soft Lockup etc...

What is the general time frame for a new version of the kernel to hit Arch/core? It's around a month, right?

combuster · 2010-01-11 19:55:56

Yes a month after a final release, but can be sooner, it hits the testing pretty fast though

Grazz256 · 2010-01-11 23:18:32

On my system with out KMS xorg just gives me a black screen, so if I try 2.6.32 I can either have a black screen right after grub (with i915 in my mkinitcpio modules array) right after udev (without i915 in my mkinitcpio) or at xorg/slim (without kms).

To add further details I am running openbox with cairo-compmgr, but the same thing occurs with XFCE4 (just switched over to openbox).

Cheers

@combuster is the BUG, soft lockup u got was similar to mine ? I have reported mine here http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15015

Just wanted to know if its the same issue.

combuster · 2010-01-12 07:22:17

Yes, it's the same issue but without that big crash dump, just getting those CPU Soft Lockups for 61sec lines in a timely fashion (every minute ) until I power off the laptop.

initrd /kernel26.img
Just add the part in bold, that fixed it for me at least. The non-bold part changes from installation to installation, but it's the first entry after all the comments.
Good luck,

I own a Dell XPS m1330 running kernel 2.6.32 and this did not work for me.

Ever since I disabled the do not start screen saver automatically. I have not faced a black screen.

That statement confused me. In the desktop settings under KDE, I have an option that says "start automatically" and it's currently disabled. Did you check or uncheck that box?

jithin1987 · 2010-01-14 01:39:49

I unchecked the start automatically box.

Thanks. Mine is unchecked by default and I still have the problem.

combuster · 2010-01-14 08:39:10

Just disable suspend or turning off screen after certain amount of time in power management options.

I can confirm that 2.6.33-rc3/4 doesn't have this bug, so apparently they fixed it, would like to know the exact patch that did it though

jlacroix · 2010-01-14 12:04:07

I would like to know that too.

nuovodna · 2010-01-15 19:10:51

same here on dell inspiron 1525 intel + kms.
I try to use new intel driver ( 2.10.0) + kernel .33rc4 = same issue!!

Habmala · 2010-01-25 16:30:07

For me the problem seems to have been fixed in the latest kernel update. Did anyone else get the pleasent surprise or was it just a stroke of luck on my part. Or perhaps something else did the trick, not really sure what that would be though.

currently runing 2.6.32.5-1

I haven't even had a chance to test it after the update. I am hoping that's what fixed it though.

jithin1987 · 2010-01-25 16:42:46

Same here. But considering that it appears quite randomly, I would like to wait for a couple of days to see if it's actually fixed.

Habmala · 2010-01-25 19:56:10

For me it's been sort of blinking when I open the lid, and then it seemd random whether it would end on black or the my desktop .

But it stopped blinking now, so I'm confident. But as you say, giving it a day or two might not be bad.

jithin1987 · 2010-01-26 04:06:35

Well I just now had another blank screen. First one in days and with kernel 2.6.32-5

I have reported a bug here

Oh, sorry to hear that.

It seems to me that (at least for me) the problem has improved, but I guess it's not yet solved then. I'll post back if I too get any more blank screens, 'til then I guess we can all just hope, for future fixes or atleast some realiability. : /

I am having another issue as of the latest kernel update. For some reason, WICD isn't working well at all. Wireless connects fine, but it used to connect before I logged in, but it doesn't connect until after. In addition (and even stranger) WICD refuses to use my wired connection, though it does sometimes work after I reboot.

jithin1987 · 2010-01-26 15:54:16

Your issue might not be related to this issue . That sounds more like some configuration issue.
Anyways I don't use WICD, sorry can't be of any help in this regard.

You might be right. The configuration hasn't changed though, only the kernel. I don't remember WICD being updated in a while.

Now that KMS for intel is forced, this problem has reared it's ugly head again for me.

I guess I'll have to try kernel 2.6.33rc8 like on my desktop :-(

ulukai · 2010-02-16 08:57:53

Upgraded to kernel 2.6.32.8-1 and I'm still experiencing the same problem with the new intel 2.10 driver + forced KMS.

aronasorman · 2010-02-16 09:59:32

confirmed that the issue is fixed as of 2.6.33-rc8. No more screen flickering and the black screen of death after suspend and such.
