[Bug 1535879] Re: It looks to be the (expired ) bug #1451632 drm:intel fifo

 

carlos palma, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.

As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-
support/product/latitude-e6530/drivers/advanced an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A17). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  It looks to be the (expired ) bug #1451632 drm:intel fifo

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

  dmesg | grep drm:intel

  [    1.441536] [drm:intel_set_pch_fifo_underrun_reporting [i915]] *ERROR* uncleared pch fifo underrun on pch transcoder A
  [    1.441575] [drm:intel_pch_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun

  Returned back (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79261). It
  seamed to be fixed up-stream but not for all.

  Effects on my DELL Precision E6530: without notice it switches from
  nouveau to nvidia. Switching back to nouveau it hangs (need restart)
  and OK.

  Using optimus: 
  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108GLM [NVS 5200M] (rev ff)

  I'll try to use the upstream kernels and inform ...
