Spontaneous Log Offs (T9592)

[celticmagic]

Jacob (#jm-brennan), 2021-02-22 15:36:47 UTC

I have for at least two weekly update cycles been experiencing an issue where I will suddenly just be logged off while using my laptop, which closes all my applications and is generally quite frustrating. I suppose I don't for sure know that it is a log off that is happening, the screen will suddenly go black for a couple seconds, and then I will be presented with the login screen (not the lock screen), and upon logging in all applications will have been closed which does mirror the exact behavior when I log off manually. I have fully updated my system every week when the new package updates get pushed. I would estimate that it has happened in total about 5 times in the last two or maybe three weeks, sorry that I am not able to remember exactly when it started happening. The last two times it happened was within 10 minutes of waking from suspend, not sure if that is significant, I can't see any other pattern in when it is happening based on what applications are running or anything. I can provide whatever logs may be helpful to see, but I am not familiar enough with Solus to know exactly what would be necessary to see. Also unclear if this is the correct place to post this and am happy to copy the discussion elsewhere.

Hi #jm-brennan , I think I have the same issue since an update in early Janunary 2021. Had some discussion about this problem in the Solus forum https://discuss.getsol.us/d/2616-laptop-doesn-t-properly-turn-on-after-suspend/, but no solution found. It still seems to me that some applications like VS Code or Brave browser increase the probability that this happens, but without it also sometimes logs me out spontaneously shortly after wakeup from suspend. System information: Sony Vaio VPC-EB3X Intel CoreTM i5-460M ATI MobilityRadeon HD5650 All latest updates installed, problem occurs with both current and LTS kernels.

I have found a similar issue in Arch Linux forum, which seems to be solved by installing [bbswitch](https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch) which is available in Solus reop. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=244635 Tried it, but doesn't fix this problem.

Sounds like Xorg might be crashing on resume and dumping you back to the DM to log in again. Logs?

[celticmagic]

Matthias (#palto42), 2021-03-21 18:48:38 UTC

Some logs from one of todays' forced logoff's: https://dev.getsol.us/F7219923

Jacob (#jm-brennan), 2021-03-22 14:17:07 UTC

I ran journalctl with -p 7 but still am not seeing the same level of detail that #palto42 's log has, I'm not familiar with journalctl so if there is a way to get more detailed logs just let me know how and I will try it, otherwise here is a log from one that happened today: https://dev.getsol.us/F7222909

[celticmagic]

Matthias (#palto42), 2021-03-22 18:10:10 UTC

Hi #jm-brennan , I'm simply running `sudo journalctl -S -2h` to see all detail. The start time is defined with the option `-S -2h` (since 2h ago), you can also specify an absolute date like `-S "2021-03-16 20:00:00"`. You can also double-check the systemd log-level with `systemctl log-level` which is default `info` on my PC.

This behaviour affects me to as of this week. I've attached the output of `journalctl` for the last hour before the last involuntary logout occured. Since I only have integrated Intel graphics, I won't bother to install bbswitch as #palto42 tried. If I can provide better/more detailed information, please let me know how. The affected machine is an Acer Aspire A5, Intel i5-8250U CPU Intel UHD Graphics 620 Thanks for your time! {F7328360}

Stefan Zurucker (#szb), 2021-04-19 17:37:54 UTC

I was just again logged out of the session, this time the machine basically just sat idly by, with only one tab of Firefox running. For the purpose of (hopefully) tracking down the error, I will continue to upload `journalctl` log files. If this is considered spam, however, please let me know. Thanks for your time! =] {F7335534}

[celticmagic]

Stefan Zurucker (#szb), 2021-04-21 12:23:52 UTC

Two more undesired log-offs occurred, attaching the `journalctl` files for the last hour before they took place. I don't know how to interpret most of them, but I can see a lot of error messages in there, some related to budgie, some to gnome-screensaver, ... But they don't seem to happen right before log-out, so I don't know if they are related to the problem or not. {F7341409} {F7341408}

Stefan Zurucker (#szb), 2021-04-22 21:27:47 UTC

Many more crashes/logouts and therefore many more (hopefully meaningful) logfiles. It seems that several users experience the very same issue now, regardless of hardware or desktop environment (i.e.: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/6645-system-instabilities-using-openbox/). {F7345585} {F7345584} {F7345583} {F7345582} {F7345581}

Beatrice T. Meyers (#DataDrake), 2021-04-22 22:06:58 UTC

Admittedly, I wasn't specific enough. Journalctl only tells me that Xorg is crashing. I need the Xorg logs to know why it is crashing, which is logged separately. That said, there's no way everyone here is experiencing the same issue as someone was in February or even March. In the future this should be reported separately because a significant amount of the repo has changed since the OP created this task and #palto42 followed up. I agree that you all seem to have a crashing Xorg server, but that's a symptom, not the root cause.

[celticmagic]

Wayne (#bigrammy), 2021-04-22 22:23:43 UTC

Hope this helps as I think it captured an error. For info I have a i5 processor too. {F7345701}

Beatrice T. Meyers (#DataDrake), 2021-04-22 22:41:00 UTC

#bigrammy Can you confirm if you have `xorg-driver-video-intel` installed? If so, can you test if removing it resolves the issue? Thanks.

#DataDrake On reboot I was faced with the black screen with no prompt etc so I had to do a chroot from solus live usb and re install the xorg-driver-video-intel. So definitely not a fix LOL unless re installing the driver fixes things. I will let you know if the crashes continue.

[celticmagic]

Beatrice T. Meyers (#DataDrake), 2021-04-23 10:26:57 UTC

#bigrammy That's a weird one, because it should have fallen back to the modesetting driver.

[celticmagic]

Stefan Zurucker (#szb), 2021-04-23 16:38:17 UTC

#DataDrake I also tried your suggestion - with the same result, unfortunately. Can't get past my laptop's boot screen now. #bigrammy Could you kindly tell me in more detail how you restored your system, please? I looked for instructions, but I couldn't find much that seemed applicable, besides a possibly outdated [guide for Ubuntu](https://askubuntu.com/questions/976894/install-package-to-ubuntu-16-04-installation-while-booted-into-live-cd).

[celticmagic]

Wayne (#bigrammy), 2021-04-24 00:17:22 UTC

#szb Sorry for the late reply. I used this guide https://getsol.us/articles/troubleshooting/boot-rescue/en/ Once you have mounted everything and in chroot with a working internet connection add the xorg-driver-video-intel using the terminal. eopkg install xorg-driver-video-intel Then I did the usysconf run -f and exit after all was done just shut down and restart the PC and hopefully all will be fixed. #DataDrake It crashed again. This time I woke the laptop from sleeping with a press of the power key which brought me to the login screen as normal so I entered my password and hit enter then black screen again. No flashing cursor no pointer nothing. After this I have to force power off & boot the Solus Live USB then shutdown properly and reboot to get everything back to normal. EDIT: This has happened 3 times now since posting. Since szb had the same problem as me when removing the xorg-driver-video-intel it's clearly it not falling back to the modesetting driver so I would remove or edit that post asking to try remove the xorg-driver-video-intel to prevent anyone else having the hassle of trying to re install it again :) Here are the logs. {F7348660} {F7348663} {F7348662}

#bigrammy Thank you very much! I'm back up and running! :D My bad at didn't directly look at the Solus guide, didn't see the forest for the trees. #DataDrake Attaching my X.org log as well, in case it helps!{F7350956}

[celticmagic]

Wayne (#bigrammy), 2021-04-24 12:29:45 UTC

#szb Your welcome I am glad you got it sorted. #DataDrake I have reverted to the old **Linux-lts**(**com.solus-project.lts.4.14.226-170**) via the Software Center and I have not had any issues to date. I am starting to think this maybe a 5.x Kernel issue now. I will remain on this old Kernel for a while and will report if I have any issues regarding these crashes. PS: How do we force the modesetting driver as default??

[celticmagic]

Wayne (#bigrammy), 2021-04-25 16:48:31 UTC

#DataDrake No issues at all with Old kernel so it appears something is incompatible with the newer 5.11 kernel.

Wayne (#bigrammy), 2021-04-27 22:10:45 UTC

Is anything happening or in the pipeline with this issue? Reading the forum it clearly does not affect everyone. I am not sure what is causing this issue for me and a few others to varying degrees of severity. Just to be clear my Laptop does the following. The system will randomly switch to the log on screen. All app's and open windows in the session are closed when logging back in. or It goes to the black screen with no pointer or blinking cursor & I need to do a force power off and recover as described in the previous posts. 2. Issues seems to of started two kernel versions ago with the latest causing most crashes. 3. Old LTS Kernel in the Software Center has no issues. #JoshStrobl #DataDrake Thanks in Advance.

[celticmagic]

Beatrice T. Meyers (#DataDrake), 2021-04-27 22:32:11 UTC

We don't have enough information to act on this. So far all I've seen is that a subset of Intel CPUs are crashing Xorg under some unknown circumstance. And that could just as easily be tied to the xorg-server update.

[celticmagic]

David Harder (#davidjharder), 2021-04-28 02:51:17 UTC

I was consistently getting 1-2 spontaneous log-offs immediately after logging in after waking, or after the screen had locked. Something has changed with the last day or so of updates in unstable. I no longer see the behavior. Hardware: Latitude Laptop, CPU Intel i5-4310U, GPU Intel Haswell-ULT

[celticmagic]

Wayne (#bigrammy), 2021-04-28 04:22:36 UTC

Is there anything we can do to produce more detailed or helpful logs for you ?

[celticmagic]

Wayne (#bigrammy), 2021-04-30 08:09:57 UTC

I found this https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/x7driver.html#xorg-intel-driver I did noticed this remark > Working around problems with the Intel driver > The SandyBridge New Acceleration (SNA) code is intended to replace the old UXA (UMA Acceleration Architecture), but it is a large body of code and **may cause problems**. However, the version of the code in the version control system listed above has been tested successfully with both SNA and UXA capabilities. > > To work around this problem, as well as enabling support for UXA, it is necessary to force UXA to be used by creating a configuration file. If this problem applies to you, create the following file as the root user and modify it as needed: ``` cat >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf << "EOF" Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" #Option "DRI" "2" # DRI3 is default #Option "AccelMethod" "sna" # default #Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" # fallback EndSection EOF ``` So my question is was our driver version compiled using the --enable-uxa flag to allow setting uxa mode via a user created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf ?

[celticmagic]

Beatrice T. Meyers (#DataDrake), 2021-04-30 13:35:54 UTC

That's intended as a workaround for much older systems if it is forcing DRI2, so I'd be surprised if that fixed anything for you. But yes, that flag is set during the build process.

[celticmagic]

Wayne (#bigrammy), 2021-05-01 20:14:06 UTC

The Latest Solus OS update using the latest kernel **com.solus-project.current.5.11.16-178** seems to of fixed things me. : ) No crashes at all since the update. Thanks to those responsible for fixing things.

[celticmagic]

Matthias (#palto42), 2021-05-29 18:13:10 UTC

I still face issues with spontaneous log-offs, but quite rarely and not always immediately after wake-up from sleep. Too rare to spend more time in debugging in my view - just hope that it fully disappears at some point :)

[celticmagic]

Matthias (#palto42), 2022-02-27 11:18:04 UTC

Update: I still face this issue if I run specific applications like Brave browser or Signal before sending the laptop to sleep. I still have no idea what the root cause of this bug is and what other troubleshooting could be done.

[TraceyC77]

@palto42 is this still an issue? It has been a long time since there was an update to this task, and there have been many updates since this issue was opened, particularly the kernels.

[palto42]

@TraceyC77 thanks for following up on this issue, I can confirm that it disappeared at some point and no such issue anymore for quiet a while now. So from my point of view it can be closed.
