Sudden death syndrome

[Mohammed Daifallah]

My pc has 3 GB ram, Athlon QL-62 2.00 GHz, Nvidia 8200 mg 256 mb vram.
On the latest MM build, my wifi sometimes works and sometimes not. I have to reboot and pray for it work.

The problem is that on android x86, remix and phoenix OSs, the device after few minutes suddenly 'dies'. The screen hangs and doesn't respond to any input. Alt+Shift+F1 doesn't show the terminal. It keeps like that till I hardware reboot it. How can I diagnose it what is wrong?

On android x86 it dies at the screen where I sign in to google account upon opening play store, and dies at the browser opening. On remix and phoenix I can't figure a specific scenario. I found that at times my Wifi doesn't work it won't die. Can it be Wifi card related? I have broadcom wifi card. how can I debug all of that stuff?

It's a well known issue of Nvidia's GPU hung.
If you can build from source, try the following
experimental mesa-12.0 branch which
contains a WIP fix from nouveau developer.

On the top of android-x86 tree,
cd external/mesa
git fetch x86 mesa-12.0
git checkout x86/mesa-12.0
cd ../drm_gralloc
git fetch x86 mesa-12.0
git checkout x86/mesa-12.0
cd ../..

then build the iso as usual.

In the link you posted, that developer said that the fix is now present in  the Android x86 MM branch, yet when I install it I face it the same issue?

Should I still build my own iso??

All we talked about are at the source code level.
How did you "install" it without building it?

> Should I still build my own iso??

So far, yes.
As said mesa-12.0 is still an experimental branch.
(i.e., for developer to evaluate only)

Thank you! :D
For me I don't have experience with compiling from source and I've never used git or others so I will wait for the next release of Android MM hoping the fix will be there. Do u have any idea if this fix is making its way to Remix OS?

I've just finished compiling marshmallow with this mesa version...

out/target/product/x86/android_x86.iso is built successfully.

But I must test it :)
If it will work great, I'll send you. I've same issue with Intel HD graphics, so... I also want to try newer mesa. Maybe it solve this issue.

Hi Martin!

I've got some video problems on my EEEpc that may be due to mesa.

So, could you give me the link too? I like to try it as well.


Thank you in advance

[Martin]

of course.
I'll post the iso in few hours.

Tested it and... is faster, than the last version of mesa... I don't know why it's in experimental branch :) Everything is stable and usable. Even there's no screen glitches anymore :)

Sorry for delay...
Here's an iso with mesa 12.0. Without gapps.
