[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1387221] Re: 14e4:4331 [MacBookPro10, 1] bcmwl-kernel-source >= 6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1 fails to see 5GHz networks and is unstable on 2.5GHz

2016-05-05 Thread Gerry Boland
Hey again folks,
I've forward ported the 6.20 version of the bcmwl driver to work with Xenial, 
as I also find 6.30 is unusably unstable on Xenial. I'm just pushing the source 
here:
lp:~gerboland/+junk/bcmwl_kernel_source-6.20/
It's rough & ready, but should work.

I will put a pre-built package here for those on amd64:
http://people.canonical.com/~gerboland/xenial/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu7_amd64.deb

Again, don't forget to apt-mark hold it, as it is older than that in the distro.
Please let me know if you've any problems

  3) What is expected to happen is when one uses the bcmwl-kernel-source

  4) What happens instead is after upgrading to saucy or any newer
  release and installing bcmwl-kernel-source >=6.30.223.30+bdcom-
  0ubuntu1 it fails to find any 5GHz networks and connections on 2.5GHz
  are unstable.

  Unfortunately, while b43 does detect the chip, it only uses 2.4GHz and
  it has very slow data rates and connection drops.

  WORKAROUND: This chip is working perfectly fine on 2.5GHz and 5GHz
  using version 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 of the driver.

  Downgrading the machine to kernel 3.8.x and bcmwl-kernel-source 
6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 (both from raring) makes the chip work again.
  UPDATE: Up to kernel  3.13.0-23 a patched working package of 
bcmwl-kernel-source 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 here:

  Currently there is no way to have utopic or vivid with an up to date kernel 
and properly working BCM4331 chip at the same time.

  Looking at the changelog its most likely caused by the update to the
  new upstream release in version 6.30.223.30+bdcom.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1387221] Re: 14e4:4331 [MacBookPro10, 1] bcmwl-kernel-source >= 6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1 fails to see 5GHz networks and is unstable on 2.5GHz

2015-05-08 Thread Gerry Boland
For the record, I've a MacBook Pro 8,1 using broadcom 4331 chip. I find
the bcmwl 6.30 driver consistently unreliable, packets just stop sending
randomly and only solution is module unload & reload. I've had much more
success (not perfect tho, but 99% reliable) with the older 6.20 driver.

I spent a little time forward porting 6.20 to vivid kernel (3.19). If you're 
curious, you can give it a go here:
http://people.canonical.com/~gerboland/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.20.155.1+bdcom-1ubuntu0_amd64.deb

I am back to my 99% reliable wifi as a result. If it helps you, do let me know!
-G

P.S. the package version is older than the vivid supplied one, so you'll
need to pin (apt-mark hold) it to prevent it being upgraded.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1387199] Re: 14e4:4331 [MacBookPro8, 1] broadcom-sta kernel crashes

2015-05-08 Thread Gerry Boland
For the record, I've a MacBook Pro 8,1 using broadcom 4331 chip. I find
the bcmwl 6.30 driver consistently unreliable, packets just stop sending
randomly and only solution is module unload & reload. I've had much more
success (not perfect tho, but 99% reliable) with the older 6.20 driver.

I spent a little time forward porting 6.20 to vivid kernel (3.19). If you're 
curious, you can give it a go here:
http://people.canonical.com/~gerboland/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.20.155.1+bdcom-1ubuntu0_amd64.deb

I am back to my 99% reliable wifi as a result. If it helps you, do let me know!
-G

P.S. the package version is older than the vivid supplied one, so you'll
need to pin (apt-mark hold) it to prevent it being upgraded.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1638278] [NEW] 4.8 kernel, under heavy load desktop unusable

2016-11-01 Thread Gerry Boland
Public bug reported:

I've updated from Xenial to Yakkety on my Desktop - Sandybridge Macbook
Pro 8,1

With Xenial, on 4.4 kernel, doing a compile (with ninja for example), I
could use all CPU cores and still have a usable desktop: app switching
was relatively quick, I could (slowly) surf the web while the compile
was happening.

Now with Yakkety 4.8 kernel, doing a compile using all cores totally
seizes up my desktop - app switching is incredibly slow, I see redraw
errors, mouse has poor response.

As a workaround, I have to manually leave a CPU core free when
compiling.

  I've updated from Xenial to Yakkety on my Desktop - Sandybridge
  Macbook Pro 8,1

  With Xenial, on 4.4 kernel, doing a compile (with ninja for example),
  I could use all CPU cores and still have a usable desktop: app
  switching was relatively quick, I could (slowly) surf the web while
  the compile was happening.

  Now with Yakkety 4.8 kernel, doing a compile using all cores totally
  seizes up my desktop - app switching is incredibly slow, I see redraw
  errors, mouse has poor response.

  As a workaround, I have to manually leave a CPU core free when
  compiling.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1189611] Re: bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1 fails to see 5GHz networks and is unstable on 2.5GHz

2013-07-19 Thread Gerry Boland
I can concur with Michael's assessment.

I've a Macbook Pro 8,1, with broadcom 4331 wifi chip. With raring, wifi
was quite stable (I was using b43 then). Doing a clean-install of saucy,
my wifi was highly unstable (using wl). I had same instability using
b43.

I followed Michael's advice and installed a 3.8 kernel with bcmwl-
kernel-source version 6.20, and I have reliable wifi once more.

Title:
  bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1 fails to see 5GHz
  networks and is unstable on 2.5GHz

Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hardware: Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02)

  This chip is working perfectly fine on 2.5GHz and 5GHz using version
  6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 of the driver.

  After upgrading to saucy and installing version 6.30.223.30+bdcom-
  0ubuntu1 it fails to find any 5GHz networks and connections on 2.5GHz
  are unstable.

  Downgrading the saucy machine to kernel 3.8.x and bcmwl-kernel-source
  6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 (both from raring) makes the chip work
  again.

  Downgrading just the kernel to 3.8 and keeping bcmwl-kernel-source at
  version 6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1 does NOT fix the issue.

  Looking at the changelog its most likely caused by the update to the
  new upstream release.

Title:
  Bluetooth keyboard is configured with wrong keyboard layout

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Phone: Meizu MX4 (15.04 r4)
  OS Language: German

  What you expected to happen:
  When connecting a Bluetooth keyboard I expect that the keyboard layout is the 
same as the keyboard hardware key layout (German) or that it is possible to 
change the keyboard layout in the Bluetooth setting for the connected Bluetooth 
device.

  What happened instead:
  The Bluetooth keyboard worked, but wasn't set to German key layout. In the 
Bluetooth device setting I couldn't find any option to change the Bluetooth 
keyboard key layout.
