 Posted: Sat Jun 22, 2019 1:31 pm Post subject: Monitor gets no signal after exiting X session |
 |
|
Hello,
I am using the Emacs window manager (exwm) in conjunction with the proprietary Nvidia drivers. The X session is started via `startx` with the following line in my .xinitrc:
| Code: | | exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session emacs |
Before I start X or during the X session, I can switch to TTYs without problems. However, when I exit the X session and drop to the TTY my monitor does not get any signal and I have to reboot.
I can still ssh into the machine and neither dmesg nor the X.org log show any unexpected messages. Consequently, I am at a loss how to debug this any further and would appreciate any advise.
Additional information:
Following the Gentoo wiki, I also tried disabling all framebuffer devices besides the simple framebuffer and tried vga=normal to no avail.

| If you blindly start a new X session, does the video signal return? Can you reproduce this problem on an untainted kernel? |

If you unplug the monitor (pull the hdmi/vga/displayport cable) then replug does it come back?
Edit to add: also which nvidia drivers and make/model of nvidia card and monitor

Yes, the signal returns if I blindly start a new X session. The problem does not occur with the Nouveau drivers.

Unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable does not bring the signal back. I am using version 430.26 of the nvidia-drivers package. The card is an Asus Strix RTX 2080TI. The monitor is an LG 27UK850-W. |

medaron,
Is the system failing to return to the console tty?
If you do Ctl-Alt-F1 do you get your video signal back?
Then Ctl-Alt-F7 makes it go away again?
Which console driver are you using?
All of dmesg and your kernel .config on two pastebins would be good.
Do you use UEFI mode or BIOS mode to boot?

Sounds like the nvidia driver isn't resetting the LG monitor when changing back to console mode.
Have you looked to see if nvidia-settings (or whatever they're calling it nowadays) can tell the card to reset.

Yes, the system is failing to return to the console TTY. After exiting X, Ctrl-Alt-F1 to F7 all don't receive any signal.
dmesg: https://pastebin.com/DYTeBzaZ
kernel config: https://pastebin.com/1EhfKYiE
I am using UEFI mode to boot. I am not quite sure to check, which console driver is actually in use. I assumed it would have a link to the driver in /sys/class/tty1, but that is not the case.

I looked through the nvidia-settings application and the available documentation. Unfortunately, I was not able to find any setting regarding this. |

if you have nvidia-smi built (I assume it's still in the nvidia drivers package) then look at the man page on it.
There should be an option to reset the card. Might or might not work, I've seen posts going either way.
Or if you've got nvidia loaded as modules
| Code: | | sudo rmmod nvidia_uvm ; sudo modprobe nvidia_uvm |
Again might or might not work, if it works I would alias it to something easy to remember and easy to type blind. 
Edit to add: re: removing modules, I'm not sure what they're called nowadays, as I haven't run nvidia in a long time, but whatever they are might be able to be removed and readded (which theoretically should reset the card)

medaron,
I can tell what's happening but not why.
Your kernel is using simpleframebuffer for the console.
| dmesg: | | [ 0.757638] simple-framebuffer simple-framebuffer.0: fb0: simplefb registered! |
Its so simple that the kernel can only draw on it after something else has set it up.
I suspect that exiting Xorg makes nvidia-drivers reset the GPU, so the settings for simpleframebuffer are lost.
vesafb should work.
Its listed in your kernel but its not in dmesg, which makes me think the kernel you are running did not come from the .config you posted.
Your running kernel is | Code: | | [ 0.000000] Linux version 5.1.12-gentoo (root@planck) (gcc version 9.1.0 (Gentoo 9.1.0-r1 p1.1)) #1 SMP Fri Jun 21 08:41:36 EDT 2019 |
So that kernel was built at Fri Jun 21 08:41:36 EDT 2019. Have you made another kernel since then?
If you boot in EFI mode, then | Code: | | # CONFIG_FB_EFI is not set |
is also an option for you.
You have EFI | Code: | | [ 0.000000] efi: EFI v2.60 by American Megatrends |

I tried and removed the nvidia modules and loaded them again. Unfortunately, it didn't bring the signal back.

I am fairly certain that this config was used to build the kernel from which the dmesg was posted. The modification date and time of the .config matched the build time and I also now checked if CONFIG_FB_VESA=y was in /proc/config.gz. It was.
I now built 5.1.15 with different configs. Twice with the simple framebuffer disabled and one of uvesa and efifb enabled. In both cases I don't see any additional output on the monitor after "Loading initial ramdisk". With the simple framebuffer enabled, it works again but the original problem persists.
The Gentoo wiki also says the following:
| Quote: |
For (U)EFI systems, uvesafb will not work. Be warned that enabling efifb support in kernel (CONFIG_FB_EFI=y) causes intermittent problems with the initialization of the NVIDIA drivers. There are reports of success from marking legacy framebuffers as generic and enabling the simple framebuffer while disabling all others:
|
This was the reason why I did not enable efifb.
Edit: When I only had uvesafb or efifb enabled, I didn't see any message regarding those framebuffers through dmesg. Maybe they are indeed incompatible with the proprietary nvidia-drivers and don't get loaded? |
