Description Dan Callaghan 2015-09-10 03:07:55 UTC
When my monitor wakes up from "power save mode" (DPMS suspend) nouveau does not display any output and the monitor goes back to power save after a few seconds. The kernel says:

kernel: nouveau E[   PDISP][0000:03:00.0][0x00000006] 02:0006:0f42: link training failed

The behaviour of the monitor might be a bit dodgy. When booting the machine I have to mash buttons on the monitor to keep it awake until the firmware starts displaying an image, otherwise I will get no output from the firmware at all.

When the monitor goes into power save mode, it stays awake showing a message "Power save mode" for about 3 seconds, then it actually powers down (its LED turns orange). I have noticed that nouveau can recover if I shake the mouse during those three seconds, but it can't recover if I let the monitor power all the way down.

Complete logs to follow.

kernel messages showing "link training failed"

Complete kernel messages showing "link training failed".

At 11:34 the console went blank and the monitor started to go into power save, but I hit a key while it was still powered on showing a "Power save mode" message, before it actually powered down. Nouveau said "training complete" and I got the image back.

At 11:44 the monitor went into power save again and I let it power all the way down. Nouveau says "link training failed" and then "training complete" but the monitor just goes back to power save, there is no image.
Comment 2 Dan Callaghan 2015-09-10 05:35:24 UTC
The Nvidia proprietary driver is able to recover from the monitor going to sleep.

Here is an mmiotrace showing the monitor going to sleep (xset dpms force suspend), eventually powering down, and then waking up and nvidia recovering the display:

  External monitor remains black with kernel 4.1.6-200.fc22.x86_64 - nouveau reports "link training failed"
Comment 4 Julien HENRY 2015-12-17 13:40:00 UTC
I have a similar issue on Fedora 23 using kernel rawhide 4.4.0-0.rc5.git0.1.fc24.x86_64 + xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.12-1.fc23.x86_64.

I have two monitors: DVI + Display port.

After letting them go to suspend mode, when I tried to move the mouse the DVI one woke up but the one on display port was completely corrupted.
I went to monitor settings in order to change resolution as an attempt to fix the issue without reboot and it froze completly the UI (I can still SSH from another computer).

I just wanted to mention that kernel 4.5-rc5 is also affected by this issue.

Kernel log of detaching and re-attaching external monitor

By looking at the log, my theory is that sometimes nouveau does not store the preferred mode correctly when probing for available modes and tries to set an invalid mode later.

In error_connecting_monitor.log at line 344 the list of available modes can be seen for screen attached via display port. The native mode is 1920x1080, so the Modeline 67 should be remembered. Now if you look at the line 392, you will see that Modeline 52 is set instead, which is not on the list of allowed modes.

Can any developer confirm this?

Kernel 4.5-rc6 log of detaching and re-attaching external monitor

A fix is landed in kernel 4.5-rc6 which addresses this issue. See Ben's commit here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=95664e66fad964c3dd7945d6edfb1d0931844664

I have been running rc6 kernel for 3 days now and haven't run into this bug since then.

However I still see the "link training failed" error in the logs when the monitor is unplugged. Fortunately it does not bring down Xorg server.
See the attached log file for more details.
Comment 9 Dolphykins 2016-07-08 20:07:30 UTC
I'm still running into this issue. I posted more detailed information and the output of dmesg and journalctl on Fedoraforum, here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=310633

When my system is suspended and wakes back up, the primary LCD is stuck on a blank white image and sometimes cannot recover when switching TTY's. Dmesg fills up with this:
[ 270.115821] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: disp: outp 00:0006:0344: link training failed
[ 270.122646] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: disp: outp 00:0006:0344: link training failed
[ 270.123698] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: disp: outp 00:0006:0344: link not trained before attach

Hardware:
HP EliteBook 8440p, Legacy Boot
Nvidia GT218M (NVS 3100M)

Software:
Fedora 24, latest updates, Gnome 3.20.2
Gallium 0.4 on NVA8
Kernel - 4.6.3-300.fc24.x86_64
Comment 10 Dolphykins 2016-11-17 22:12:35 UTC
Issue is still present for my system several months and updates later.

Fedora 24, latest updates, Gnome and LXDE both experience issue, along with login screen.
GDM 3.20.1
Nouveau running on 4.8.7-200.fc24.x86_64
Comment 11 Martin Peres 2016-12-06 12:50:30 UTC
We are trying to push in DRM link-status that will allow the userspace to react to errors like this.

I may be convinced to add support for this in Nouveau-drm and -nouveau, since I studied it and have patches for -modesetting already.
Comment 12 Dan Callaghan 2018-03-27 02:26:44 UTC
I'm no longer seeing this issue with the 4.15.10-200.fc26 kernel in Fedora.

When the monitor goes to sleep, and I wake it back up, I still see two kernel messages like this:

nouveau 0000:03:00.0: disp: outp 02:0006:0f42: training failed
nouveau 0000:03:00.0: disp: outp 02:0006:0f42: training failed

but it seems that nouveau recovers regardless. My X display comes back and everything keeps working.
