Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 1:59 pm Post subject: [ALMOST SOLVED] Random X crashes nvidia-drivers-190.42-r3

I recently updated to KDE 4.3.3, gentoo-sources 2.6.31-r5 and nvidia-drivers-190.42-r3. Following this I seem to be getting random sudden X crashes (not a gradual lag then a crash - just a sudden crash). I can't seem to find any trigger for it. Here's the xorg log I picked up:

Code:

Backtrace:

It looks like an nvidia issue and I'm not quite sure how to go about debugging it - any help?

Edit: it still crashes even if compositing is turned off.

Can't help with that xorg segfault, but I found 190.x unstable. The symptom was the desktop (2.6.30-gentoo-r8, Gnome, compiz) freezing for a few seconds every 10 seconds or so. Didn't check the xorg logs. At first I suspected USE="vdpau xvmc", but removing them did nothing to fix this. Going back from 190.42-r2 to 185.18.36-r1 helped.

Did all of you recently upgrade xorg-server from 1.6.x to 1.7.x? Some nvidia driver users have been reporting problems with the new Xorg at nvnews.net.

Can you provide any xorg logs or a backtrace of it?
360gtx? I wasnt aware the nvidia 300series had been released....

i had the very same problem (even the backtrace matches), downgrading to xorg-server-1.6.5 fixed it.

Hmm - I haven't tried downgrading Xorg. What I did try was use Fluxbox for a couple days. It's been a good two days of straight usage without any crashes. I'm still using all my KDE applications on top of it. This suggests that the problem _might_ be with KDE 4.3.3. Can anybody reconfirm this? I've been using Xorg 1.7 for a while now I think without any problems. _________________ thinkMoult - I write articles online. You might like some of them.

Apparently not - this is the bug in question http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24787 as described here http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=140768&page=4 I installed the first patch (the second causes slowdowns) and I've now run xorg-server with kde and nvidia-drivers succesfully for a good day without any crashes. _________________ thinkMoult - I write articles online.

I installed the first patch (the second causes slowdowns) and I've now run xorg-server with kde and nvidia-drivers succesfully for a good day without any crashes.

Which first patch? I just tripped over this bug while using eclipse. I checked both links, but I'm not sure which patch is the one to use. Is it still working for you?

Bah, the problem is that every Tom, Dick and Jane assumes that the topic's X crash is identical in cause to their X crash. This is the first patch: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2117474&postcount=33 This is the second patch: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2117519&postcount=34 I am using the first patch, the second one apparently creates slowdowns (the cause of these slowdowns have been identified in the freedesktop bug already). Ever since I applied it I haven't experienced a single X crash. _________________ thinkMoult - I write articles online. You might like some of them. Planet Larry - do you write a blog and use Gentoo?

I've only had one...and the backtrace looked very similar. Who knows, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks for clarifying and posting the links.
