Hi All,

I've keep have this issue with the Displaylink and Mac in a long period.
When the screen is playing video or a lot of changes. (Like fast refresh your web pages.Which is no flash and other things. Or a lot of graph from the Safari.)

The MAC will log you out as the Displaylink drive crash.

I'm using the VMware to testing. but I've tried to use the MACBOOK Air is still got the same result.

Here is the Log from Console.

I'd like to raise this as a bug to look into further. Could you gather the full debug logs using our tool here:

http://kb.displaylink.com/269

Thanks

I'm having the same issue, happened yesterday and today, running 10.8.4 with DisplayLink 2.0.

Suddenly WindowServer crashes and I'm back at the login screen. Note that I had also noticed this a few times with the previous DisplayLink driver as well.

Attached both crash reports and will look at running the debug tool as well.

I could see that if it was Safari crashing, but this is the WindowServer crashing and the logs show it is actually DisplayManager causing it.

I'm uncertain if it is related or the same issue, however I just got a kernel panic and the only recent change was updating this system to 10.8.4 last friday. System was working well with the exact same devices for the last few weeks (since 2.0 driver was released).

Logs attached: I think we have at least one other report of this from a customer as well. Any input is appreciated, I'll be watching this thread, so please let me know if any other details would be helpful or are available.

In your case the WindowServer is crashing in the QuartzCore code (different source lines but similar OpenGL operations), so it looks like an Apple bug.
I can't see any reference to DisplayLinkManager in the crash log, although I can't exclude it is somehow leads the WindowServer to some bad state. The Quartz path is completely managed by the OS. Have you experienced any DisplayLinkManager crashes? In case could you please post them?

Thanks Jeff for the report.
The panic log points to a problem in the kernel core, while dealing with the IPV6 Multicast Listener Discovery protocol. In checking the system profile I see the machine has more than one ethernet adapter, so not sure which network interface is causing the issue. The DisplayLink one seems to be the only one in use, but this kind of error could be unrelated from the network driver, anyway I can't exclude it. Still need to investigate more on this.

In your case something goes wrong in dealing with the USB framework, we need more info to help investigate this. If you can easily reproduce the issue, could you please gather the full debug logs using our tool, right after the crash? Thanks

Hi Christian, and thanks for getting back to me. I've not seen this error for the last few days, but now I've switched back to using the ethernet built into my Mini due to issues with the network, so it makes sense that this might have been triggered by the ethernet adapter.

I setup a Mac Air with a different UD-3000 to see if we can duplicate on different hardware and was able to duplicate on a different dock & system, and was. Here's the problem report, support tool output attached:

Since we last talked, I had also checked the Air with just a USB3-HDMI-DVI (both are Dl-3x00 series based) but the HDMI-DVI has no network adapter or other functions besides video- using this adapter the air had no problems at all, so again makes sense that this might be triggered by the network adapter.

I have two separate Mac customer reports of not being able to access the network (although these support logs show valid IP configurations at time customer reports no access). Interestingly, both these customers were part of AD/DS Windows domains. I'm unsure if there is any relationship, but thought it was worth mention. I don't want to post these publicly but am able to share in private channel- these have also already been submitted as part of Ticket#2013061342000013.

If I can help with any other details please let me know. Thanks for any insights you can offer!

Thanks Jeff for the new information.
We are investigation possible dependencies with the DisplayLink ethernet interface. I'll keep you updated.

Thanks for reporting the crash dumps. It looks like the crashes have a common root cause. I raised a bug on this.

I'd like to add a few log files as well. Since this morning I've had 3 Window Server crashes. I've had a few (no more than 5) ever since I'm using a DisplayLink device with my MBA.

I don't recall doing anything specific or heavy on the MBA. I do recognize a pattern: it happens when I'm in Safari. But not something heavy or a lot of screen refreshes.

Thanks for reporting the crash dumps. It looks like the crashes have a common root cause. I raised a bug on this.

We've been able to avoid kernel panics on 10.8.4 by using the command:

networksetup -setv6off "NAME OF YOUR NETWORK INTERFACE"

So for us this is, exactly:

networksetup -setv6off "Plugable UD-3000"

Christian, if you could possibly please PM me with this bug number, it would be useful in communicating about some distinct issues in this area we think we're seeing.

Best wishes-

Hi All,

I've keep have this issue with the Displaylink and Mac in a long period.

The MAC will log you out as the Displaylink drive crash.

For information, I have this same problem.

As I'm using the computer, the screen will appear to freeze and after a few seconds the login window appears. If I log back in, my background tasks are still running though everything in the foreground is lost.

I believe this was the same on DisplayLink 1.x and 2.0 and all versions of Mountain Lion. I'm using a HP NL571AA USB2 graphics-only adaptor.

Hopefully 2.1 can address this, as I've had to stop using the extra monitor.

Is this something that will be addressed in 2.1?

08-28-2013, 02:19 PM
Since it's been another month, can I ping this thread and ask for an update? Will it be fixed in 2.1? Is 2.1 anywhere being released?

09-15-2013, 09:05 PM
Ooookay then...

What about the new 10.8.5? Will this have had any bearing on the issue? Is there anyone out there still running DisplayLink who can confirm if the Window Server crash is still there?

ehendrix
09-18-2013, 08:45 PM
Running 10.8.5 with Displaylink 2.1 driver (beta). WindowServer crash is still occurring and right now it seems that this might be caused by a bug in OSX or so as in the Beta forum Wim replied that a bug report has been filed with Apple.

After updating to Safari 6.1 I noticed that "Top Sites" is not flickering anymore as it used to. I also started using Safari again on my USB display and have not had a WindowServer crash happen. Before this would have already happened thus it would seem to me that the issue has been resolved in Safari by Apple.
