dmesg with the latest Xorg packages and with systemd

Hi All,

Xorg 1.17 doesn't start on PowerPC computers (Power Macs, NG Amigas etc). I figured out that I have a lot of signal 11 error messages with systemd. With Upstart I have only 4 signal 11 errors:

[ 9.371697] lightdm-gtk-gre[2731]: unhandled signal 11 at 00000000 nip 6f4e61c4 lr 6f4e619c code 30001
[ 14.367464] lightdm-gtk-gre[3000]: unhandled signal 11 at 00000000 nip 6f4e61c4 lr 6f4e619c code 30001
[ 20.591891] lightdm-gtk-gre[3219]: unhandled signal 11 at 00000000 nip 6f4e61c4 lr 6f4e619c code 30001
[ 26.831432] lightdm-gtk-gre[3533]: unhandled signal 11 at 00000000 nip 6f4e61c4 lr 6f4e619c code 30001. 

With systemd, X11 starts again and again with a white screen. With Upstart I have a black screen with a blink cursor.

The temporary solution is to downgrade Xorg:

sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.16.0-1ubuntu1.3_powerpc.deb
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-radeon_7.4.0-2ubuntu2_powerpc.deb
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-ati_7.4.0-2ubuntu2_powerpc.deb

I created a package with all debs and Mesa libs for the downgrade three weeks ago.

Download: http://www.xenosoft.de/Xorg_and_unofficial_Mesa_for_ubuntu_MATE_15.04_AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.gz

There's no sign of a crash in the attached Xorg.0.log files. Are you sure it's Xorg that's crashing, not e.g. lightdm?
Comment 11 herminio.hernandezjr 2015-04-02 16:53:11 UTC
I found the following in the lightdm log:

and this in the xsession-error log

Actually, it says right here that the crashing process is lightdm-gtk-gre, not Xorg. Please file a bug against lightdm.
Comment 15 Christian Zigotzky 2015-04-04 18:45:28 UTC
Quote Adam Smith (ubuntu MATE google+)

Since downgrading the xorg fixes it, then surely that makes it an xorg issue?  Since a lot of applications are giving the same unhandled signal error then it has to be a common library or something else in common so again that points to the xorg.

Quote end

I installed the display manager "slim". It started and I could login. But I have the same errors with the MATE desktop like on QEMU. Some colors are wrong on the ubuntu MATE desktop. I can't use the mate-panel. If I click on the panel (menu, icons etc) then nothing happens. The mate panel and the mate taskbar starts again and again. And there is a blank error message in the middle of the desktop. I installed lightdm again and I downgraded the Xorg packages again. Everything works without any problems again.

Same for me on PowerBook6,5 after upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04 as well as on live 15.04-beta2 boot.
Error messagebox appers after Mate start and then X restarting in a cycle.
Comment 17 Christian Zigotzky 2015-04-08 06:16:42 UTC
This bug is definitely a Xorg bug. It affects all PowerPC machines. Please look in the following thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2264322&page=22&p=13260389#post13260389.

Please help us.

I loaded Ubuntu-MATE 15.04 Beta2 again. This time I added these to my boot parameters drm.debug=14 log_buf_len=14M and pulled the dmesg and journalctl log off. Will be attaching them. Here is a sample of what I am seeing

Comment 21 Christian Zigotzky 2015-04-09 21:56:01 UTC
Hi All,

I updated ubuntu MATE 15.04 on my AMIGA one X1000 today. And this is unbelievable. Xorg starts with Upstart and systemd. I don't need to downgrade Xorg. But unfortunately some colors are wrong on the ubuntu MATE desktop. I mean I have the same color problems as on QEMU PowerPC. The mate-settings-daemon starts with systemd 10 minutes after the login. With Upstart the mate-settings-daemon works without any problems immediately. 

[QUOTE=Martin Wimpress ubuntu MATE google+]
I've pinged some devs. Can you see if 'startx' works and update both the Xorg and LP bugs with the results please?
[/QUOTE]

I stopped lightdm with 'service lightdm stop'. After that I started X11 with 'startx'. But it didn't start with 'startx'. I didn't find any error messages in the file 'Xorg.0.log'. I found some error messages in the file '/var/log/syslog'.

[/CODE]

I installed Upstart with 'apt-get install upstart-sysv' again and then I downgraded Xorg to version 1.16.0. After a reboot all things work without any problems.

Rgds,

Christian

I booted in the current daily live iso. The DE no longer crashes however I am seeing the colors are all off. I am still noticing errors on the logs and will post them to LP and Freedesktop.

Sounds like the crashes are fixed.

The wrong colours are probably (related to) the well-known Gallium driver endianness bugs.
Comment 28 herminio.hernandezjr 2015-05-01 05:17:46 UTC
Does anyone know why Xorg is trying to load fglrx (propietary radeon) on PowerPC? I did not think this was supported?
