Bcc: tester <tester@busterupgrade>

Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I did some tests on amd64 (Kaby Lake) machine,

With "main" section only, then add "non-free".

Summary
=======

* Stretch clean install, LVM over LUKS on NVMe,
   separated file system, with AppArmor enabled.

* After GNOME and Firefox, etc settings' had done,
   Rewrote sources.list into buster and "apt dist-upgrade"

* No upgrade trouble. Boot normally, LVM over LUKS,
   AppArmor seems OK, though I did not test so much by now.

* Both PAM su restriction and securetty work.

* Problem around GNOME, nouveau, and especially Firefox.

* Sound output initial setting become on-board S/PDIF.
   Need to change to the GeForce 1030 one.

* LVM may have some issue; error logs appear.

* "nvidia-driver" makes ttys' resolutions worse.

* (logcheck summary) mails are okay,
   provided I fix the owner and permission on /var/mail.

dist-upgrade before-after
=========================

Firmware
* syslog says "Firmware Bug: TSC_DEADLINE disabled
   due to Errata; please update microcode to version:
   0.52 (or later)

   (cf. the CPU has no HT and VT features are off.)

LVM
* lvm2-activation-generator: lvmconfig failed.
   Activation generator failed.
   /lib/systemd/system-generators/lvm2-activation-generator
   failed with exit code 1.

nouveau
* firmware: failed to load nvidia/gp108/gr/sw_nonctx.bin (-2)
* DRM: failed to create kernel channel, -22

gnome-session-binary
* Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop

Video by GeForce 1030
* Stretch nouveau: low resolution.
   Buster: LCD max, 1920x1080.

AppArmor
* aa-enabled kept "Yes"

fstrim
* TRIM is okay on both cases.

exfat-fuse
* both okay; mounted automatically.

suspend-to-RAM and resume.
* both okay.

1st cold boot after the dist-upgrade
====================================

Video motion quality
* On the first cold boot after dist-upgrade,

* GDM shows slow response but recovers in 20 secs.
   Both mouse and keyboard response on GDM are bad,
   but once login, GNOME desktop itself is okay.

* Buster GNOME shows slow response with Firefox.
   Around 2-5 fps.

* "top" says "gnome-shell" consuming %CPU about 50%.

Sound
* Mozilla Firefox can barely browse Youtube
   except fps and sound initial settings.

   Sound setting became on-board, not GeForce.

   After changing from on-board S/PDIF to
   GP108 (GeForce 1030), it plays sound.

byobu(-terminal) on GNOME
* works fine; splitting, moving, there are no corruption.

byobu on ttys
* screen size small; it says "size 211x53 from a smaller
   client", w/ GeForce 1030 - HDMI - FullHD LCD.
   split, move, and rendering are okay.

   tty itself is FullHD size; right and bottom area are
   filled by purple dots "."

   status bar display is okay.

Misc.
* GNOME terminal shortcut option turned back ON.

2nd cold boot
=============

Video motion quality

* GDM is same; slow.

* GNOME itself is okay.

* "gnome-shell" is still consuming %CPU, 30-100% always.

* Mozilla Firefox is especially heavy.
   It did not improved by simple reboot.

byobu
* GNOME terminal, it is okay.

* ttys got less display area;
   It says "size 80x23 from a smaller client".
   tty size is FullHD resolution,
   there are more purple "." filled area on
   right and bottom. status bar is fine.

with non-free packages
======================

After the installation of "intel-microcode"
-------------------------------------------

3rd cold boot.

* TSC_DEADLINE error log gone.

* lvm2-activation-generator fail log continued.

* GDM response improved.

* gnome-shell still consuming CPU.

* Firefox still slow.

After the installation of "nvidia-driver"
-----------------------------------------

4th cold boot.

* GDM response improved more.

* GNOME desktop animation got more smooth.

* gnome-shell CPU consumption improved.

* Firefox is now FINE.
   It plays Youtube both in windows and full screen.
   Sound is okay.

* ttys resolution DECREASED; 800x600 now.

About This Report
=================

Due to the desktop response troubles,
I did "reportbug upgrade-reports" after "nvidia-driver" installation.

Overall
=======

I did not tested so much,
but I can say something around nouveau and/or gnome-shell
w/o non-free firmwares and drivers.

* LVM might have some issue on this LVM-over-LUKS.

* Maybe I should update BIOS, at least about microcode.

* "main" only, Firefox is not practical by nouveau.

* "byobu" seems funny at ttys in this GeForce 1030 box.

* "nvidia-driver" makes tty console resolution worse.

I will keep 4 cold boot syslogs.

If you are interested, please contact me.

Thank you, dear Debian team.

Regards.
