memtest+ questions

I ran the prime95 test for 5 hours with no errors. I guess thats a good thing… Not sure where to go from here.

EDIT: I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned the symptoms. When I get the freeze, the screen goes black, and I lose power to my keyboard and mouse. There is usually a delay before I lose the keyboard and mouse, and there was ONE time where I was able to get to a TTY. I have not been able to do it again, though.

Hi
So was that with the ngg boot option? Sounds like it’s all good…

Yes, maybe. I was thinking the same thing. But, I don’t remember if I actually rebooted since I added that. =/. So, I’m rebooting now and playing some Dota. Wish me luck!!

Sigh. Nope, crash is still happening. I did not lose my keyboard and mouse this time. That’s something I guess.

Hi
I would remove it then…

Do you have another computer you could ssh in from?

Yes, I have a low-powered laptop. I will need some hand holding as I have no idea about ssh, though.

Hi
Well if your still getting crashes, might be time for a bug report…

If you can’t get information after the fact from the logs, then may need to ssh into the system and tail the logs to capture what is happening.

If you log in to a different desktop environment, eg IceWM and run the game, does it crash?

Environment doesn’t matter. I installed cinnamon to test it out, and same behavior. I will look into figuring out the ssh thing. But, this last time, I was able to get into a tty.

question 1: If I am able to do this again (either in a tty on same machine or via ssh from laptop), what should I be doing?
question 2: Where should I be filing this bug report?

again, thank you. Even though it hasn’t been resolved, I really appreciate your help and patience.

Hi
On the machine your having issues with, just check via YaST services that ssh is running and then in the firewall that the ssh service port is open. Then on the other system with a ssh client try and connect to the ip address… eg


ssh <yourusername>@<ipaddress>

Once get that working then can work out what’s needed :wink:

Bug reports, go here: openSUSE:Submitting bug reports - openSUSE

Okay, I seem to have my laptop connected via ssh. It’s saying “have a lot of fun”. I had it connected before, as soon as my desktop crashed, it lost connection. I was thinking at the time that we needed it connected DURING the crash, but now I’m guessing not so. Anyway, the laptop is reconnected to the desktop (i guess).

Hi
That sounds good, so is the computer your connecting from a linux system or using something like putty?

Anyway, what you may want is a few terminal sessions running, say one tailing the log, so need to switch to root user and run;


journalctl -f

Another one watching process and ram consumption with the command top, maybe before the crash happens you see swap being used as additional memory etc.

See how that goes…

Okay, it finally happened. (aside: I was unable to connect to this forum from either computer while they were linked. I guess it was using the wifi to connect and that was too much for the adapters? anyway, whatever.)

First, there did not appear to be anything unusual in TOP. At least not with ram, which is what I was looking at. There was a whole lot of stuff dumped into the journal, though. So, I’m going to post a rather long one here. The end even says something about broken bios, and complained a lot about tsc.
EDIT: To be clear, the beginning is when the crash first starts. It took a few seconds for the keyboard and mouse to lose power, and that is at the end, where the messages stopped.

Hi
Can you add the grub kernel boot option amdgpu.dc=1 do the same capture trick, if it fails the same way, change the 1 to a 0 and test again…


WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 22324 at drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/dc_helper.c:277 generic_reg_wait.cold+0x29/0x30 [amdgpu]

If it keeps crashing then with those three captures would raise a bug report against the kernel and see how it goes.

Okay, thanks. Will do.

Boy, I thought that last post was going to be my last, but the results from adding amdgpu.dc=1 and amdgpu.dc=0 were different enough that I thought I would run it by you before I went ahead with the bug report. When adding amdgpu.dc=1 to the boot parameter, instead of crashing, the machine acted like it was going to crash (I guess it did, but did not freeze?) and then restarted itself. What is even stranger is that I never got any error messages on the journalctl -f output from the sshed laptop. The last line from the output was the same things that were going the whole time I was playing the game, which I (think) was:

Jul 01 22:34:55 linux-i7cx org_kde_powerdevil[2487]: powerdevil: Enforcing inhibition from ":1.13" "My SDL application" with cookie 459 and reason "Playing a game"

That was not really it. I copied it from my previous post because I failed to keep the output sorry. But I am pretty confident that it was the same message over and over. When I changed the boot parameter to amdgpu.dc=0, the computer would no longer start and I had a black screen and no tty (lol). Well, I guess it WAS starting, I just could not see it. I was thankfully still able to ssh into the system with my laptop so I changed the boot back to [FONT=arial][FONT=arial]amdgpu.dc=1 via yast’s command line interface (pretty cool that yast can do that, btw!).

So anyway, let me know if I should do anything else or go ahead with the bug report. I should say, btw, that the behavior has gotten less terrible. Instead of crashing within 10 minutes of playing HOI4, it is now taking about 40. And I got through 3 games of Dota before it happened. Not sure what changed there, but it is still happening.[/FONT][/FONT]

Hi
So it was lasting longer with dc=1 then? Can you look at disabling powerdevil and then see how it goes. Looks like getting down to what may be the issue, if it runs happily without powerdevil running, then remove the dc=1 line and test again.

Dangit, I’m sorry, I cannot figure this one out. I see that powerdevil is a kde thing, but I am not seeing what to disable. In the system settings power management sections I could turn off the screen energy savings and the suspend session settings (they are both currently set to 10 minutes). Is this what I should do? Again, sorry.

Hi
I’m no Plasma user, but those will probably be the things to disable for the moment.

Okay, this is interesting. I tried it with the screen energy savings and the suspend session settings turned off. The system crashed immediately – within about 30 seconds. I rebooted, and found powerdevil in the system activity monitor and killed the process. I then tried to play again. Same thing – crash within 30 seconds of playing the game. I tried this again (no powerdevil) but this time without the [FONT=arial][FONT=arial]amdgpu.dc=1 variable. Same result.

I added the variable back and let powerdevil run this time because I wanted to make sure I was not crazy. I played HOI4 for an hour just to make sure. The difference is dramatic. It will crash eventually I am sure, but at least it is playable. Having said that, I noticed something. The powerdevil message is not showing up when the game starts, but rather when Steam starts. (You said you are not a gamer, so if you don’t know, Steam is a game library / launcher / store). Here is what it is saying:

Jul 02 20:46:38 linux-i7cx org_kde_powerdevil[2497]: powerdevil: Enforcing inhibition from ":1.13" "My SDL application" with cookie 1 and reason "Playing a game"
Jul 02 20:46:38 linux-i7cx org_kde_powerdevil[2497]: powerdevil: By the time we wanted to enforce the inhibition it was already gone; discarding it

It repeats this over and over again, with the “cookie” number going up. It is now at cookie 182. I have no idea if it matters or not.

Hi
I have/use Steam :wink: Just use Gnome DE not Plasma/KDE :wink:

So it would appear to be something with the amdgpu driver and powerdevil, I suggest carry on with your tests until it crashes and see if any more details available.
