Created attachment 47492 [details] tar-ball with the initial files [ I originally filed this bug against "openSUSE" [1] and tried the recommended fix: install latest Nouveau GIT builds [2] ] Howdy, I have an issue where resuming from a "suspend", X will crash. I have had this issue with both the Nvidia and nouveau driver. Given the nouveau driver is OSS, I figure it's easier to debug so it's currently installed on my laptop [3]. Per Johannes Obermayr, I'm uploading a tar-ball with the following: o dmesg o /var/log/messages o Xorg.0.log o Xorg.0.log.old Please note the crash occurred at 15:29:10 - see the following message in `messages': Jun 3 15:29:10 zoom kdm[1581]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly When I say X crashes, what happens after a resumption is I end up in the login screen. I'm marking this ticket as "critical" because when X crashes, any unsaved work is lost. :( Please let me know if you need any additional forensics.

Hi pablo When Johannes Obermayr mentioned to try the latest git, he could/should have mentioned that nouveau consists of four components - kernel module, libdrm, ddx and mesa (3d) That aside I have a few simple things you can try to narrow the issue 1. Confirm it's not a KDE issue (try with gnome, lxde, ...) 2. Use a minimal xorg.conf [1] 3. Try disabling AIGLX in xorg.conf 4. If the above fails append "nouveau.noaccel=1" to your kernel command line Although if you are interested in trying the latest git please follow these instructions [2] [1] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau [2] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau
Hi Emil, I apologize for not being clear. Johannes did mention that I install the four components. I ended up installing the following (and including some of the -devel packages simply because I have the Dev environment on this laptop): o Mesa o Mesa-devel o Mesa-nouveau3d o drm-nouveau-kmp-desktop o libdrm o libva1 o libllvm o xorg-x11-driver-video o xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau o xorg-x11-proto-devel I don't see `ddx' but a little googling seems to imply that'd be the `xorg-x11-driver*' packages. I hope so. :D Thank you for the hints on narrowing the issue. I'll try them and report back. Unfortunately it's a bit like painting the cuckoo in a cuckoo clock, without the benefit of advancing time, it takes a few hours for the problem to manifest itself. Thanks again! -pablo
Hi Emil, A quick update ... First I tried "KDE" + "minimal xorg.conf", which didn't work. Next, I tried "gnome" + "minimal xorg.conf" and after nearly 48 hours, no issues. The above suggests some type of KDE issue. This is good news. Now, I need to ponder the next step. I think I may open a KDE bug with "openSUSE" to get some direction from those folks because I'm not exactly sure how to proceed. Of course, any ideas would be most welcomed! Also, should I close this bug? Thx a lot! -pablo
Hi pablo I believe that we can close this bug as "notourbug" and I would appreciate if you can link the bug you opened with the KDE team. In such a way any other users can take a look and/or monitor the progress. Although if you have problems with other DE (gnome, lxde..), or it turns out that "nouveau is doing something wrong" please reopen the bug with a bit more information. Thanks
Hi Emil, Once again, thank you /very/ much for your consideration. I'm adding the openSUSE bug URL as requested. Through bifurcation, I /believe/ I've narrowed the issue with the `x11vnc' package. As each test-run can take up to 24 hours, I can't say with certitude that it's `x11vnc' Cheers, -pablo
