My Macbook Pro is crashing, freezing, and hanging due to a bug reported as "remove stuck pageflip" by syslog. I believe.

The setup: 

Macbook Pro A5102
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Memory: 7.7GiB
Processor: Intel Core i5-5257u CPU @ 2.7GHz x 4
Graphics: Intel Iris 6100 (Broadwell GT3)
Os type: 64-bit
Disk: 37.0GB
uname -a: Linux caleb-ubuntu 4.4.0-43-generic #63-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 12 13:48:03 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
uname -r: 4.4.0-43-generic

The machine will freeze with screen content still visible, cursor still responsive and reacting to screen elements, but nothing clickable or able to be interacted with. I then must ctrl+alt+f1 until entering prompt, usually takes ~2 minutes. Then I can ctrl+alt+f7 to return to my work.

Other times, the screen will "glitch out" and I must follow the above steps, waiting a longer period of time.

Other times, the system will totally freeze, and I must force reboot.

  • Is your MacBook getting hot? What type of connection on the second monitor? Also I'd leave a terminal open running the command top on the second monitor and see if anything spikes when it freezes. – Software_Programineer Oct 18 '16 at 18:06
  • I will monitor heat, though I didn't specifically notice that previously. Is there a way to be logging "top" somehow? The event is so rare I'd have to have the terminal open on every desktop, which would be a bit annoying as I am constantly flipping around desktops and am a bit of a screen real estate nazi :P – Caleb Jay Oct 18 '16 at 18:14
  • you could try updated intel driver. may be they fixed what seems to be a bug. https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads or you can try that PPA https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers with also updated intel driver. Chooose one not both. – solsTiCe Oct 19 '16 at 18:51
  • @solsTiCe That was a good idea but unfortunately it just hung again after updating the driver. Lots of things are rendering a lot better now, so good tip either way! – Caleb Jay Oct 19 '16 at 21:27
  • This issue has been being tracked for some time, although I see no clear solution https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1413238 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89519 note that this question is now number 3 on google search results despite numerous other results. – Caleb Jay Oct 20 '16 at 18:07

  • Hah, it's a kernel bug being reported by fedora, gentoo, arch linux users... https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1007522-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html?sid=d3eb60fa12c717debf91cf0550e2d7ee https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195844 – Caleb Jay Oct 21 '16 at 20:34
  • @komali_2 Have you tried disabling intel_pstate? I used to have a similar problem upon logging in. Add intel_pstate=disable into the Grub commands at boot and see what happens. – negusp Oct 24 '16 at 03:27
  • @PatrickNegus I'm googling around how to enter grub commands at boot and the answers are so varied I'm afraid I'll do this in the wrong spot. Can you clarify how to best enter Grub commands at boot? – Caleb Jay Oct 24 '16 at 16:41
  • Ok. So, when you boot into Grub, press "e". Right after the words quiet splash, add intel_pstate=disable. What you enter will not be retained after that boot, so we can see if this works. – negusp Oct 24 '16 at 16:43
  • I just tried it before seeing your comment, there was an option "press c to enter command prompt" which I used. Was that the wrong spot then? Cheers for clarifying. EDIT: I can see that it was. One sec, rebooting again. – Caleb Jay Oct 24 '16 at 16:46
  • I have entered the command at the bottom of whatever file pressing "e" opens in that nano-esque editor. Will test today and report back. Thank you. – Caleb Jay Oct 24 '16 at 16:51
  • @PatrickNegus Unfortunately, this seemed to not fix it. What sort of machine were you on when you were having similar problems? I almost feel like this is primarily being caused by a monitor being plugged into the displayport. – Caleb Jay Oct 24 '16 at 17:05
  • @komali_2 After some research, it looks like this is a bug with Intel Iris drivers crashing when trying to drive resolutions higher than 900p. Try lowering the resolution and see what happens, if you can. Have you tried updating your kernel? – negusp Oct 24 '16 at 17:13
  • @PatrickNegus where'd you turn up that research? Would love to read into it more as well. Current rez is EDIT: "2160p = 3840 x 2160 - commonly known as 4K." Will attempt lowering resolution. Kernel information added to OP, will test resolution fix, followed by updated kernel. If one or both work, will illustrate as such so you can add the answer with one/both solutions. – Caleb Jay Oct 24 '16 at 18:30
  • @PatrickNegus Neither lowering the resolution nor updating ubuntu or the kernel has solved the problem. I've issued a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1636327 – Caleb Jay Oct 25 '16 at 01:36
  • Same issue here. I am running 16.04 with a Dell XPS 13 9350. – TanisDLJ Oct 28 '16 at 14:36

    I added to my grub options: intel_idle.max_cstate=1 If it works for you you can add it to /etc/default/grub, in the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_idle.max_cstate=1"

    I still getting the error but it is not flickering nor freezing by now (but I still seeing the error). If it works for you let me know so get can get "closer" to a workaround.

Let's see if it works!

  • For others - make sure to edit grub with sudo such like sudo gedit grub so your changes save. – Caleb Jay Oct 28 '16 at 16:37
  • This is the closest we're going to get and the bounty expires in an hour. Great link! I hadn't thought to check the kernel bugzilla. – Caleb Jay Oct 28 '16 at 16:38
  • Thanks! But anyway, keep me posted and let's see if we keep having errors. Together we might find faster and better workarounds or fixes than on our own. If you experience a new freeze or any other related thingie, just let me know and we'll try to figure out what to do – TanisDLJ Oct 30 '16 at 14:57
  • I still having eventual glitches but I stop seeing the error messages. Will see how it evolves... – TanisDLJ Oct 31 '16 at 12:40
  • I've no glitches yet, nor crashes. I'm keeping a weather eye out. Later today I'll try upping the resolution on the external monitor to see if I can force a crash. From the thread you posted, it looks as if doing cstate or pstate to 2 instead of 1 might be something worth trying. I need to read more into what the settings control exactly, seems like something about power usage. – Caleb Jay Oct 31 '16 at 17:26

If the kernel gets into a High load problem like running an endless loop of creating random Mac address's or some other process.

I have seen the Top average load indicator go/driven as high as 80-85 then the system kernel goes into some sort of recovery mode Blanking the screen.

I think its called the "Bash infinite Loop of death".

Log the Top command to a TXT file top >> top.txt then you may find a bit more info out, the log output is not really that good formatted maybe someone else could Help with that.

As a precaution I would change all of you passwords just in case do it disconnected from any network.
