Mageia 5 : x86_64 : Mate : nvidia GTC 770 with driver 346.82

As this is the first time I have tried a testing kernel bear with me.  This may be a little verbose.

Tried the desktop kernel, ignoring iwlwifi and radeon drivers.  Not too sure about nvidia340* so left the nvidia software alone.  The notes below indicate which packages I installed, or checked.  On reboot dkms succeeded in building any required modules and the system booted normally to a working Mate desktop.

Maybe the btrfs stuff was not needed either (ext4 system).

NOTE1: Be careful, since the xt_ACCOUNT module seems not to be loaded, if
you have shorewall, you'll need to put this module in shorewalls
modules.xtables file.

NOTE2: if you're using shorewall, you can put the following in the
/etc/shorewall/accounting file:

SECTION PREROUTING

I can't get from here to there with Vbox 5.x sitting in the updates_testing repo. It becomes very complex and I keep getting errors when attempting to launch an old client or create a new one.

On real hardware, M5, KDE, 64-bit

Started with a blank drive. Installed M5 x86_64 KDE and updated the install. Enabled updates_testing repo. Installed 4.1.6-desktop-5.mga5 kernel from updates_testing. Reboot system to a working desktop. Disabled updates_testing repo. Attempted to install Vbox 4.3.28-1.mga5.x86_64. Installed cleanly but would not launch a client. Lots of errors. Gotta step back from this for today.

Note also once I had updated the M5, KDE 64-bit install on real hardware to the 4.1.6 kernel I was unable, no matter what I tried, to get the nvidia driver to work.

Using 4.1.6-desktop-5.mga5 on real x64 EFI hardware.

Note: the subversion number is 5 (what was in Updates Testing) rather than 4 in Description & Title.

The update took 2 * forever, partly because of dkms-libafs. But these long waits for the slightest kernel related change are getting on my nerves.

BTAIM My box has AMD/ATI/Radeon video, and ought to have fglrx thingies. These got taken out erroneously by some earlier update. What I have:
 kernel-desktop-latest-4.1.6-5.mga5
 kernel-desktop-4.1.6-5.mga5-1-1.mga5
 kernel-userspace-headers-4.1.6-5.mga5      [Do these matter?]
 kernel-desktop-devel-latest-4.1.6-5.mga5
 kernel-desktop-devel-4.1.6-5.mga5-1-1.mga5
which seems to work fine. No sign of anything fglrx.

What *should* I have, and how do I restore them, please?

As tmb already noted at the beginning, the kmod packages for nvidia and virtualbox haven't been rebuilt yet, as there are previous updates still pending for those packages.  You'll have to wait for those, or use the dkms ones for now.

Taking  this back, has some regressions 4.1.7 will fix.

Hi Thomas,

Before we push this back to QA, since we have to test it with VirtualBox anyway, can we upgrade to 5.0.4?  It fixes some annoying bugs (like everytime you play audio it plays the last bit of what you played last time) that I've noticed in testing.

Lets try again... now with full sets of prebuilt kmods... advisory will follow later...

virtualbox 5.0.4 update + kmods are in a separate bugreport but should be tested with and pushed at the same time...

Source RPM: kernel-4.1.6-4.mga5.src.rpm => kernel-4.1.7-1.mga5.src.rpm
Whiteboard: feedback => (none)

Tested mga5_64,

Testing complete for the new kernel-desktop-4.1.7-1.mga5, apart one regression it seems to work properly.

Tested on a real hardware (Laptop ASUS K73S with Optimus Technology):


One regression found !!

boot start in text mode, seems that the 'boot splash' doesn't work while it worked properly with kernel-desktop-3.19.8 (it appears 1-2 seconds and then disappears immediately)

Can you attach a journal from the boot please David and possibly also /var/log/Xorg.0.log if it exists.

Where can I found the journal from the boot?

(In reply to David GEIGER from comment #16)
> Where can I found the journal from the boot?

I think "journalctl -b". I'm not sure of the exact parameters that would give the most relevant output though.

Created attachment 7015 [details]
boot-journal-kernel-desktop-4.1.7

you need to use journalctl -b as root to catch all logs

Created attachment 7016 [details]
boot-journal-kernel-desktop-4.1.7-root

from log:

Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-desktop root=UUID=69ee230a-7f90-44d3-999f-d48a77dc8cde ro splash quiet noiswmd resume=UUID=7be41594-a112-447c-95d0-d1067168226c

you have no "vga=" in there so bootsplash wont activate...


try to add something like: vga=791

Starting with kernel-3.19.8-desktop,
upgrading to kernel 4.17.1 in Mageia 5 on x86-64 real hardware, GeForce GTX 770
8 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz

Enabled Core Updates Testing and Tainted Updates Testing.  Installed these from the listed updates:
- cpupower-4.1.7-1.mga5.x86_64
- dkms-virtualbox-5.0.4-1.mga5.noarch
- kernel-desktop-4.1.7-1.mga5-1-1.mga5.x86_64

- xtables-addons-kernel-desktop-latest-2.7-3.mga5.x86_64

nvidia 346.82 driver already in place from a previous kernel update.

Virtualbox needed to be upgraded as well:
- virtualbox-5.0.4-1.mga5.x86_64
- virtualbox-guest-additions-5.0.4-1.mga5.x86_64
- virtualbox-kernel-4.1.7-desktop-1.mga5-5.0.4-1.mga5.x86_64
- virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest-5.0.4-1.mga5.x86_64
- x11-driver-video-vboxvideo-5.0.4-1.mga5.x86_64

The system rebooted OK with the nvidia 346.82 driver.
However:
[root@vega ~]# urpmi nvidia-current-kernel-4.1.7-desktop-1.mga5-346.82-2.mga5.nonfree.x86_64
No package named nvidia-current-kernel-4.1.7-desktop-1.mga5-346.82-2.mga5.nonfree.x86_64

Had not enabled non-free updates testing so I installed the RPMs separately.
- iwlwifi-agn-ucode-20150824-1.mga5.nonfree.noarch
- kernel-firmware-nonfree-20150824-1.mga5.nonfree.noarch
- nvidia-current-kernel-4.1.7-desktop-1.mga5-346.82-2.mga5.nonfree.x86_64

- ralink-firmware-20150824-1.mga5.nonfree.noarch
- rtlwifi-firmware-20150824-1.mga5.nonfree.noarch


Opened an mga5 64-bit VM with virtualbox-manager and performed the same updates from core and tainted.
I am assuming that the following message in the guest can be ignored:
"Sorry, the following package cannot be selected:

- vboxadditions-kernel-desktop-latest-5.0.2-2.mga5.x86_64 (due to
  conflicts with
  vboxadditions-kernel-3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5-5.0.2-2.mga5.x86_64)"

but must admit to confusion over which components apply to the guest and which to the host.

Leaving both host and guest running the new kernel, with a view to reporting any anomalies later.

I think that 'bootspash' is activated but disappears in about 1-2 seconds and then appears a black screen with text. So I can't see appear the five bubbles from mageia logo that with default kernel-desktop-3.19.8 works fine and without 'vga=791'.

On this machine (real hardware) with Mageia 5 x86-64:

«
 I also have an Acer Aspire 5738DZG laptop with the following specs:

    Intel Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4300 @ 2.10GHz. (x86-64).
    ATI Mobility Radeon⢠HD 4570 (r700)
    15.6â³ 3D HD LCD Screen.
    3 GB Memory
    320 GB Hard Disk Drive.
    âDVD Super Multi DL driveâ
    Acer Nplify⢠802.11b/g/n.

Everything is working fine except for running a VirtualBox session, which gives me an error. I tried VLC (sound+Video), Xfce, SMB/CIFS, Extreme Tux Racer (3-D), Firefox - all worked fine.

Installed kernel-desktop on real hardware Mageia 5 x86_64 with all relevant packages (including nvidia-current to use through bumblebee), and I don't see any major regression so far.

Updated kernel and related packages on mga5-64

CPU:       Dual core Intel Pentium G645T (-MCP-)

Graphics:  Card: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family
	   Display Server: X.org 1.16.4 drivers: v4l,intel 

uname -r
4.1.7-desktop-1.mga5

No problems.

Updated kernel and related packages on mga5-64. (Legacy BIOS/grub)

CPU:       Quad core AMD Phenom 9500 (-MCP-)

No problems.

I should have added that the machine in comment #33 is UEFI/grub2

I believe that's an old kernel from pre-mga5 Cauldron. I would advise to open a specific bug report for your issue if 3.19.8 was not working for you either, as it's not a regression from this update candidate.

This one should be harmless even if uggly...

sounds like gpu issues... 
any errors in logs ?

This is a mismatch of virtualbox packages/modules on the host...

so check that all virtualbox packages are 5.0.4 
(the vboxadditions are for guest, so no need to install them on host)

that's actually a kernel that was in mga4 updates_testing...

but yes, need to check if 3.19.8 is working or not...

and I actually wonder if 3.14.51 messed something up to help cause the issue.  I found it very unstable and causing all sorts of odd problems and crashes and hangs on my computer at home and had to revert to the last good kernel we actually released for mga4.

Please advise which logs and the simplest way to check them. I will do it when I can. Suddenly EXTREMELY busy at work with barely enough free time to breathe.

Attach these two then please. Change 'thomas' above to whatever your user name is.

You could also attach /home/thomas/.xsession-errors preferably just after the error occurs as it's not time stamped

kernel-desktop 4.1.8 works fine on my Mageia 5 64bit, together with nvidia-current through bumblebee.

I do have one minor regression: after each boot, I don't have sound, because PulseAudio selects by default "Digital Output". I have to select the "Speakers" output device manually so that sound actually comes out of my laptop's speakers.
I actually already had this issue previously, but only after having plugged and unplugged headsets; the new kernel seems to make it systematic.

However that's a broader issue that I'd need to debug with Colin, I don't think that it should block this update (unless there are reports upstream that seem to confirm this issue for many users).

Generally no problems encountered except... The sound with the latest Flash update, BBC newsclips, was OK. However, local *.wma files are not audible with anything; VLC complains "Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
Connection refused."
Sound device is Default ALSA output (Pulse Audio).
I doubt that this is due to the kernel update; I have never tried this with M5 previously. Maybe I need to install some codecs...

Actually this time it booted fine with sound, so nevermind. It was probably just my usually issue that I mistook for a regression.

GPU crash dump

First attempt at retrieving this showed an essentially empty file, but then the GPU obligingly crashed again. I have not yet seen any particular activity that precipitates the crash, but it happens often. This particular one was more difficult to reset than the others, too.

That system just refused to shut down using any of the normal "leave" options, too. First time that's happened with Mageia 5 for me. I believe there's another bug on that, but I bring it up here in the off chance that it's related to this one.

No, they were all there.
I tried the sound tracks with kernels 4.1.6 & 4.1.7 and they worked.
Re-booting to 4.1.8 again - they worked also! Rather like Rémi's Comment 57. Puzzling.
So for me - this update is OK.

I'm deploying this in one of our classrooms right now, tested it on one of them already and it looks fine.  It's up and running on our big Dell proxy server too.  Everything looks and works fine.  One interesting log entry there:
Sep 23 17:48:17 proxy ifplugd(eno1)[1304]: client: ERROR    : [ipv6_test_device_status] Missing parameter 'device' (arg 1)

Ok, so this looks like userspace crash...

If you edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf,

find somethinh like the:

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"
EndSection

And change the line:

   Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"

to:

   Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"


And reboot.
Does it help ?

Mine is very different. It says:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "device1"
    VendorName  "Intel Corporation"
    BoardName   "Intel 810 and later"
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "DPMS"
EndSection


Do you still want me to make the change?

Tested mga5_64,

Testing complete for the new kernel-desktop-4.1.8-1.mga5, apart one regression it seems to work properly.

Tested on a real hardware (Laptop ASUS K73S with Optimus Technology):

Always the same problem with the bootsplash:

boot start in text mode, seems that the 'boot splash' doesn't work while it worked properly with kernel-desktop-3.19.8 (it appears 1-2 seconds and then disappears immediately)

Yeah, I forgot that we dont add the "AccelMethod" option as sna is default

So add the line:
Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"

Updated this one to 4.1.8 two days ago, and everything still looks very good.

I chose the Kernal first and that wouldn't display upon reboot.  Had to install separately:

radeon-firmware-20150824-1.mga5.nonfree.noarch

Is that dependency going to be added during the upgrade?

CC: (none) => brtians1

(In reply to Brian Rockwell from comment #77)
> Is that dependency going to be added during the upgrade?

There isn't an explicit dependency on radeon-firmware as it is, so no.  With the appropriate updates media enabled, when this update is shipped, the radeon-firmware package will be available and updated at the same time that the kernel is, so it wouldn't be an issue for the normal use case.  If anyone doesn't have nonfree enabled, they will have to make sure to manually update the nonfree packages that were updated.

Okay - that makes sense. You're the expert, just gotta make sure they release together.  I'm going to do an MGA5-64-OK if fine with everyone.

I'll hit 32bit and Nvidia later today.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA5-64-OK

Advisory:
Updated kernel packages provides 4.1 longterm and fixes security issues

This update provides an upgrade to the upstream 4.1 longterm kernel
series, currently based on 4.1.8 and resolves atleast the following
security issues:

It was found that the Linux kernel's keyring implementation would leak
memory when adding a key to a keyring via the add_key() function. A
local attacker could use this flaw to exhaust all available memory on
the system. (CVE-2015-1333)

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the deletion of a file or
directory could trigger an unmount and reveal data under a mount point.
This flaw was inadvertently introduced with the new feature of being able
to lazily unmount a mount tree when using file system user namespaces. 
(CVE-2015-4176)

A flaw was discovered in the kernel's collect_mounts function. If the kernel
audit subsystem called collect_mounts to audit an unmounted path, it could
panic the system. With this flaw, an unprivileged user could call umount
(MNT_DETACH) to launch a denial-of-service attack. (CVE-2015-4177)

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel which is related to the user namespace
lazily unmounting file systems. The fs_pin struct has two members (m_list
and s_list) which are usually initialized on use in the pin_insert_group
function. However, these members might go unmodified; in this case, the
system panics when it attempts to destroy or free them. This flaw could be
used to launch a denial-of-service attack. (CVE-2015-4178)

A DoS flaw was found for a Linux kernel built for the x86 architecture which
had the KVM virtualization support(CONFIG_KVM) enabled. The kernel would be
vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference flaw in Linux kernel's
kvm_apic_has_events() function while doing an ioctl. An unprivileged user
able to access the "/dev/kvm" device could use this flaw to crash the system
kernel. (CVE-2015-4692)

A flaw was found in the kernel's implementation of the Berkeley Packet
Filter (BPF). A local attacker could craft BPF code to crash the system
by creating a situation in which the JIT compiler would fail to correctly
optimize the JIT image on the last pass. This would lead to the CPU
executing instructions that were not part of the JIT code. (CVE-2015-4700)

The get_bitmap_file function in drivers/md/md.c in the Linux kernel before
4.1.6 does not initialize a certain bitmap data structure, which allows
local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a
GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl call. (CVE-2015-5697)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the path_openat function in fs/namei.c in
the Linux kernel 3.x and 4.x before 4.0.4 allows local users to cause a
denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via O_TMPFILE
filesystem operations that leverage a duplicate cleanup operation.
(CVE-2015-5706)

It was discovered that an integer overflow error existed in the SCSIgeneric
(sg) driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker with writepermission to a
SCSI generic device could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or potentially escalate their privileges. (CVE-2015-5707)

A flaw was found in the aufs support where there is a race condition in the
msync() system call and a similar issue in the madvise_remove() function.
A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly
for privilege escalation. (CVE-2015-7312)

Additionally the following packages have been updated to add or improve 
support for the 4.1 series kernels: btrfs-progs, iproute2, xtables-addons,
nvidia304, nvidia340, kernel-firmware-nonfree, radeon-firmware.

For other changes, see the referenced changelogs:

That appears to have eliminated the video problem. At least... so far.

Still has those ugly error messages during the boot, though.

Same hardware, 64-bit installation. No error message during boot, but the gpu failed in the same way as in the 32-bit install. the xorg.conf file is as listed in Comment 73(quoted in Comment 83). Would the same change, as quoted in Comment 83, be appropriate?

Appears to work there, too.

Thomas, are we affected by CVE-2015-5950 in the various nvidia packages? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/%2Bsource/nvidia-graphics-drivers-352/%2Bbug/1489391
If so it could be worth including the fix in this update candidate.

We are, but I'd rather push version bumps on gpu drivers separately as some of the times we'we done this before some users have ended up with having to reinstall gpu drivers after the update to get their working system back, something that has not ben properly reproduced and debugged yet.

Thanks for checking TJ.

It seems the new kernel introduces intel sna/uxa issues for some, which is not ideal in a stable release. Is it possible to work around them or will everybody affected need similar manual intervention?

Do we know of more than TJ ?

@TJ, did you ever try any of the earlier 4.1 series kernels on that hw ?

There is some reports of similar issues being fixed either by some fix in some 4.2-rc+ kernel or by upgrading the intel xorg driver.
but no specific reference to what the fix was or what broke it... :/

Only TJ in our small sample size, but both his machines.

My old centrino laptop is OK with the new kernel but it already has uxa selected. Not sure how/when that got there though. It's the same machine I once had to use vesa with bug 6077. It was upgraded from at least mga4, if not before.

Not quite, Claire. My Dell Dimension E310 is the only one that's bothering. It has two Mageia 5 installs, one 32-bit and one 64-bit. Both installs have the problem. When I use the machine for work, I use the 32-bit install, as on this machine 64-bit gives me little to no advantage. I put the 64-bit install on it for testing purposes only. Both installs were clean from the released Classical isos, while retaining /home, and each had whatever the installer selected as the defaults for the gpu settings

My other machine, which has a Geforce 6200 video card, is very happy with this kernel, so far.

Thomas, I did not install any of the earlier 4.x kernels. I was about to install 4.1.7 when you and Claire advised us to wait for 4.1.8.

How do you want to proceed with this one Thomas? Go/No-Go?

Yep, for mga4 we still forced uxa over sna for stability/usability reasons...

Now it has improved so we try with sna for all, but it wont work for all, especially on older hw... the

I think we should go for it...

I haven't seen any issues reported on cauldron either so it's hopefully it's "contained" to a few systems...

I will try to release an updated x11 driver separately from this kernel update to  see if it can stabilize usage for the affected ones...

Validating then, thanks.

Hi Folks - running into an issue on my radeon video driver - machine.

I think you need to get those drivers published for update asap.

radeon-firmware-20150824-1.mga5.nonfree.noarch

not sure if you need the x11 drivers published as well.  But Kernel 4.1.8 is broke with current updates.

It was pushed as part of this update and is available in nonfree updates

Okay I figured it out.

I think we have our default repository for nonfree set-up for Updates but not enabled.  Kernel 4.1.8 requires we pick up the radeon-firmware driver to work.  This isn't a requirement for 3.19 and prior.

When I enabled the repository fully "Mirror list non-free updates" I was able to find radeon-firmware-20150824-1.mga5.nonfree.noarch.  I installed that plus another seemingly useful package

kernel-firmware-nonfree-20150824.

Things seem to be working properly now.

Thanks Thomas.
