[Mesa reverted, not impacting quantal right now] [Quantal] [Intel Atom] Mesa 2012/09/07 updates broke it all

Bug Description

I will immediately confirm this as it happens on 2 independent, different, Intel-Atom based netbooks after applying today's (2012/09/07) latest Quantal updates to Unity / Compiz / Xorg.

- Asus EeePC 1005PE running Quantal Beta 1 AMD64

- eMachines eM355 running Quantal Beta 1 32 bit i686

On both machines, LightDM login screen is OK, but as soon as logged in, I get a flickering, completely unusable display. Unity doesn't start (or starts and fails at the same time). No way to launch anything from there. I'm stuck.

That's critical.

( I could finally create this bug report by SSHing into one of the machines and forwarding X. I'm not sure whether it may or may not influence the data attached to this bug report...)

That's probably an xorg update that broke it, since things were working quite fine with that version of Unity for me a few days ago.a

- select your architecture under 'Builds' at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/mesa/9.0~git20120821.c1114c61-0ubuntu2
- download the mesa binary packages you upgrades before it broke
- switch to a console (CTRL+ALT+F1), cd to the directory where you downloaded the packages and run:
$ sudo dpkg -i *deb
- read what dpkg tells you and accept if you agree.

Confirming that installing :

Gotten from : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/9.0~git20120821.c1114c61-0ubuntu2/+build/3747154 and https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/9.0~git20120821.c1114c61-0ubuntu2/+build/3747157

using "dpkg -i *", fixed my EeePC 1005PE (AMD64 arch)

Installing the "dpkg -i *_i386.deb" only on the eMachines M355 (i686 arch) also fixed it.

Confirming that downgrading :

libgl1-mesa-dri_9.0~git20120821.c1114c61-0ubuntu2
libglapi-mesa_9.0~git20120821.c1114c61-0ubuntu2

libglu1-mesa_9.0~git20120821.c1114c61-0ubuntu2

Fixed both of my 2 machines.

I'm looking for someone willing to 'bisect' the bad commit. I'd build a set of packages and then the tester would install the packages and report back if it works. This would take at most seven iterations (314 commits to bisect), but likely less.

commit c8a86f717f8e30204c615d06bcec159410ac06c5
Author: Brian Paul <email address hidden>
Date: Fri Aug 31 08:33:31 2012 -0600

mesa: move IS_NEGATIVE() and DIFFERENT_SIGNS() to macros.h

and it was discussed briefly on #intel-gfx:

< ickle> let me guess: GLboolean is a char
< ickle> yup.
< ickle> DIFFERENT_SIGNS() always return 0 as (unsigned char)(1<<31) == 0
< ickle> also note that fi_type isn't well defined when sizeof(int)!=4

the downstream bug is

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/mesa/+bug/1047306

causing unity/compiz segfaults with hw using the dri driver. Reverting just that commit was verified to work.

Those two screenshotss show a flickering, that very often appears on windows. On 12.04.1 you would instead see a pulsating window while the process seems to not respond for a moment. On 12.10 you get instead a flickering transparent frame around the window, that also seems to remove a part of the panel.

I can confirm that minecraft textures are all gray or black. Same situation in some 3D games under wine (Battlefield series on BF2Engine for example).

this bug was actually not in 9.0 but only master, we just had a hybrid branch due to either a mistaken merge from master right after 9.0 got branched, or it got branched from an earlier commit that we had pulled from master.

Either way, closing as fixed by f73ffacbf0c65ad.
