Vincent Thiele, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Vincent

Looking at your launchpad bug it seems that you're using old version of xserver-xorg-video-nouveau(1.0.7), amongst others.

Can you update to:
* libdrm 2.4.52
* Mesa 10.0.3
* xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1.0.10

Additionally does the pink line appear in VT or is it present only within X ?

I wonder if playing with xrandr settings will make the line go away.

Take a look at "xrandr --props". Things like "scaling mode" and the various "underscan" stuff.

xserver-xorg-video-nouveau = 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu2
libdrm = 2.4.52-1

Same problem here, with my K1000M. It actually doesn't happen after startup, just when I lock and unlock. I have been able to fix the problem by switching terminals, starting X, killing it and switching back to my normal session.

I just posted a tentative fix on nouveau mailing list:

Beware, it hasn't been reviewed yet, values may be specific to my card/setup.

Also, I only enabled my change on nve0 cards, so GTX 780 is likely to see no change.

I built & ran, but I hit a panic - which may not be related to nouveau: I booted with blob and got a panic ending with "recursion stopped but you need to reboot" or so message.
With nouveau it booted just a past nouveau initialisation before panic'ing again (I had the time to see at least 3 panic/oops messages scroll by, like 500ms from each other), so I could at least see the HDMI initialising properly on HDMI-1 in console. I didn't test other outputs, HDMI audio, and different resolution.
I'll be away for 3 weeks starting tomorrow, so sadly I won't have much time to test further until then.

BTW, isn't "ret" returned uninitialised in the "else" branch of "if(nvif_unpack(args->v0, 0, 0, false))" ? Or is there some macro magic ?

Hello,

this issue is closest to the one I'm experiencing. There is a pink line at the left of the screen. But it appears as soon as X starts and additionally the rest of the screen seems to be shrinked by just those few pixels. This means alternating regions of sharp and blurry image (just horizontally).

Just up front, my graphics card is an AMD Radeon R280. And I see this only with latest kernel version. So maybe the guys who work on the radeon driver just introduced a similar issue.

There are no error/warn/fail messages in dmesg and playing with xrandr won't change anything. Even restarting X doesn't change a thing.

This bug should have been fixed in ~3.18 or so. Re 'ret' being special, it is, see nvif_unpack macro definition. Feel free to reopen if you're still seeing pink lines on Kepler GPUs.
