Description Antoine Pitrou 2011-07-07 18:51:58 CEST

My X server sometimes crashes. It then restarts, losing my entire GNOME session.

Here is the backtrace:

I'm attaching the complete Xorg log file.

Xorg log file when crashing

Comment 2 Antoine Pitrou 2011-07-08 18:10:48 CEST

For the record, it always seems to happen when I'm using Kate.

Comment 3 Antoine Pitrou 2011-07-12 18:22:32 CEST

Is any other info needed to help this progress?

Comment 4 John Balcaen 2011-07-13 04:07:32 CEST

You can probably get a useful backtrace by attaching gdb to X in a tty & reproduce the crash.

Looks like: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36319

Please test x11-driver-video-intel-2.15.0-2.1.mga1 from core/updates_testing, should land there soon.

Nice! After a couple of hours I haven't had any crashes yet. Will keep you updated.

Comment 7 Antoine Pitrou 2011-07-16 01:55:07 CEST

Ok, I haven't experienced any crashes since that latest version, thank you very much for the fix.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 8 Ahmad Samir 2011-07-16 17:29:33 CEST

Reopening, we still have to push an official update.

This is an official update request.

@QA, there's no easy way to reproduce this bug unless you have a machine with mga1, which has an intel gfx card, as you can see (in this report and in the upstream one https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36319) the X server crashes on occasion. Installing x11-driver-video-intel-2.15.0-2.1.mga1 from core/updates_testing should fix the issue.

Proposed Advisory text:
==========================================
Due to a batch buffer overrun bug in the open source Intel graphics cards driver, the X server would crash occasionally. This update fixes the issue.
Upstream bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36319
==========================================

Comment 9 Dave Hodgins 2011-07-16 23:28:41 CEST

Antoine's testing shows the update works on his 64 bit system.

I can only test that the rpm package installs cleanly on a 32
bit system.  In the case of hardware drivers, I think that's
all qa can test.

Can someone from the sysadmin team push the package
x11-driver-video-intel
srpm x11-driver-video-intel-2.15.0-2.1.mga1.src.rpm
from Core Updates Testing to Core Updates please.

Comment 10 José Jorge 2011-07-20 19:20:25 CEST

I've also had no crash till now with this update. It is also x86_64, but the bug was only reported on this arch.

Validating the update : no crash since one week.

Keywords: Triaged => validated_update

Comment 12 Samuel Verschelde 2011-07-25 09:57:53 CEST

Un-validating : unless I'm mistaken, it still hasn't been really tested on i586. Unless we change the policy, we have to have it tested.

Comment 13 Derek Jennings 2011-07-26 15:50:57 CEST

Tests OK on i586 (using Asus eee701) 
BTW:  I had not noticed any problems with the original package.

Comment 14 Samuel Verschelde 2011-07-26 16:01:01 CEST

Testing complete.

Please push x11-driver-video-intel-2.15.0-2.1.mga1 to 1/updates
