Cinnamon flash (like a strobe) and crash. #2488

Closed soulearth closed 10 years ago

soulearth commented 10 years ago

Hello,

I have Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS with Cinnamon. I install Cinnamon with the following repository: ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable

Everything worked fine until the last update.

Since the update (Cinnamon 2.0.2), the game "Wakfu" flash (like a strobe), sparkles and crash. I had no problems during the update.

Wakfu works well with other GUIs ( tested with gnome 3 and unity ).

Can you help me?

I am available to provide more information or log. It will just explain what information and how.

Thank you

My first reaction is what graphics card are you using and what drivers are you using for it?

I've experienced similar issues twice already with Chrome and fullscreen Flash video players but I can't reproduce it. The stack trace seems to indicate that this is related to Intel graphics and Cogl:

This time - again viewing a fullscreen Flash video in Chrome - Cinnamon didn't crash for me but it flickered like crazy and the whole window manager was messed up like windows rendered improperly, only parts of windows were shown, ... . To me this looks like an issue with Muffin.

~/.xsession-errors showed these entries before I restarted Cinnamon via Alt+F2 -> r:

Window manager warning: Treating resize request of legacy application 0x1e11885 (Google Chr) as a fullscreen request

I've tried to reproduce the issue with Wakfu and there I can instantly and at will reproduce the Cinnamon crash. Instructions:

sudo apt-get install libxtst6:i386
cd /tmp
wget http://dl.ak.ankama.com/games/installers/wakfu-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xf wakfu-amd64.tar.gz
cd wakfu
./wakfu

Press Play Press Options Reconfigure to use fullscreen non-windowed mode (and restart Wakfu if it doesn't flicker yet) Screen should already flicker crazily Press Alt+Tab and Cinnamon should crash

Here is the full updated crash report with Cinnamon 2.0.2 stable: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1080918/_usr_bin_cinnamon.1000.crash.xz

I've also switched to Cinnamon Nightly and the crash still happens with the current packages.

Hello everyone,

I have an Intel HD 2000 graphics card. I use native linux drivers.

Wisheu it's exactly this bug. Effectively, cinnamon crash when I press alt + tab .

Thank you for your help. good day

michael-schaller commented 10 years ago

Looks like this is an issue with the Intel graphics driver. Searching the web I've found this trail: 1) https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59280 has a similar stack trace 2) Bug 59280 is a duplicate of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55984 3) Bug 55984 comment 143 points to the commit http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel/commit/?id=262b6d363fcff16359c93bd58c297f961f6e6273 4) Looking at the commit it seems an update to kernel 3.8 with matching Xorg and Mesa might resolve the issue

So I've updated my graphics stack on Ubuntu 12.04. I've included the command I've used but depending on your setup this might not work for you! Many people - especially Steam users - use the X Updates PPA or even the graphics driver supplied by Intel directly via 01.org! So please be careful with this command: sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-raring mesa-common-dev-lts-raring x11-xserver-utils-lts-raring xserver-common-lts-raring xserver-xorg-lts-raring libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-raring:i386

After a reboot I've tried Wakfu again but unfortunately it didn't work anymore because it couldn't set the fullscreen resolution I've configured previously anymore. I'e removed the Wakfu seetings file ~/.local/share/data/Ankama/Wakfu/game/preferences/userPreferences.properties and afterwards Wakfu didn't flicker and didn't crash Cinnamon anymore. Wohoo!

So in the end this really looks like an Intel graphics driver issue to me. I wonder though why it didn't happen with previous Cinnamon versions... Anyhow... I can finally remove this Wakfu stuff from my computer again.

michael-schaller commented 10 years ago

@soulearth were you also able to fix this issue on your machine?

soulearth commented 10 years ago

Hello,

I have not tested it yet but your solution looks good. As I installed Steam, I do not know if I can follow your procedure. What do you think?

It is surprising that the bug affects only cinnamon ...

Thank you for your help.
