[Bug 272630] [NEW] eth0 not connected. ubuntu boot gives e1000 eeprom checksum error and an eth0 MAC of 00:00:00:00:00

2008-09-20 Thread Alacrityathome
Public bug reported:

This bug has reappeard.  Googling shows this error going back to 2.6.17
but having a fix committed in 8.04.1.  I am using 8.04.1 with a kernel

Solved by setting via terminal the MAC :  sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether

[Bug 60388] Re: e1000 EEPROM Checksum validity check should be disabled

2008-09-20 Thread Alacrityathome
I have this problem with both 2.6.26-5 and with Alpha 5 Ubuntu 8.10
(2.5.27-3).  Solving it with a work around at the moment on 2.6.26 by
using the terminal command ... sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether
00:1c:25:1e:0f:e6 or by putting the command in the rc.local file.

I have not tried a work-around for 2.6.27.that looks like a
different problem but the same end result (no eth0).

[Bug 263555] Re: [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e kernel places Intel gigE chipsets at risk

2008-09-22 Thread Alacrityathome
Colin,

Seems that a warning may be insufficient.  I would think most of the
folks testing a pre-release may not know they have an e1000e driver or
affected NIC.

Maybe blacklist e1000e asap and then re-instate e1000e after a fix is
found.

Perhaps have the "warning" state something about the e1000e being
temporarily withheld from the pre-release with certain Intel NICs
affected.

John

2008-09-23 Thread Alacrityathome
I had the duplicate bug 272630 and consider myself lucky.  I had the
Intel NIC but had used Alpha 5.  I only had the dmesg error and not the
hardware eeprom failure.  I had Alpha 6 ready to test until I found this
bug thread.  For folks like me, it will be a good decision to blacklist
e1000e pending a resolution.  Most 1st time Alpha testers would not be
as lucky or have the time to seek out a full bug thread.

Nice progress, Bryce.

Yes, for me on Tribe 5 and on safe video (otherwise, I get a blank screen),
I get edidfail for the ddcprobe command.so, I am one of the lucky ones.

By the way, is there a new web site for bug 3731?  My old bookmarks for bug
3731 have disappeared.

Thanks.

Subject: [Bug 3731] Re: Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or
800x600when h/v freqs incorrect

Heya all,

I'm just surfacing to report some progress made on resolution detection
for Gutsy.  We've found a fix for a sub-class of this bug, for
situations involving LCDs with "analog" connections (I assume this is
VGA connections as opposed to DVI) where the highest (and most correct)
resolution gets lost.  This is bug 27667 and is due to poor logic in
xresprobe/ddcprobe.sh that mixes up CRTs and LCDs.  The logic is being
dropped, which will fix this bug.  There were also a couple other
logical errors which may have caused other related monitor resolution
mis-detections.

144956 also has a fix; it addresses an issue that cropped up after Tribe
5 for intel users that resulted in misdetected resolutions for some.
This was caused by a patch added in Tribe 5.  The patch will be dropped
to fix the issue.

For others experiencing this problem, a couple tips:  run ddcprobe to
see if it reports a series of timings for your monitor.  If it instead
returns "edidfail", you're seeing bug 94994.  If it returns a correct
list of resolutions, but the highest one is missing, and you're using an
LCD, then you're seeing bug 27667.  For everyone else, stay tuned...

[Bug 3731] Re: Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect

2007-08-25 Thread Alacrityathome
Just tested tribe 5 Ubuntu and hoped the new GUI for screen resolution
would finally assist in recognizing my 1028 x 768 LCD intel 810/815
screen resolution.

Did not work.  Only worked at low resolution on the safe video mode
start up.  Then use the terminal and the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-
xorg -phigh process as well as plugging in the horzsync and vert refresh
numbers in xorg.conf.  Only then do I  get the 1028x768 resolution.

Is there any way for the new GUI screen resolution in Tribe 5 to accept
a custom configuration?  If I use the GUI to plug in the intel 810, I
still can not get the GUI to pick up a custom sync level.  So, by custom
I would like to see the GUI be able to take a custom sync level.

Last Ubuntu that recognized my laptop resolution out of the box was
6.10.

2007-08-27 Thread Alacrityathome
Many thanks, Bryce, for investing so much in this solution.  I love
testing a wide range of Linux live CDs and find that a % recognize my
i810 1024/768 laptop monitor and a % do not recognize it.  My question
is not part of the wiki spec discussion but more general.  Can I ask if,
in your mind, there is a Linux distribution out there that has solved
this challenge to your satisfaction?  If so, is it possible to borrow
their solution for the famous Ubuntu distribution?  Sorry if this
question is too noobish.

For me, I have gotten used to the xorg.conf edit process (as long as
there is a safe video boot choice) but I can see for the vast number of
potential users out there and the trend to Linux.an out of the box
resolution recognition is critical.

Anyway, if you need an Ubuntu tester for this bug please let me know.  I
would be more than glad to help.

Byce,

Not sure if I should post this here or add to the wiki solution but I
have attached the boot screen for the MEPIS solution to the Ubuntu #3731
bug.  The MEPIS 6.0 Linux distro is actually based on Ubuntu packages
but they added this front end capability to resolve the monitor
resolution problem.  Appears to be a good solution that Ubuntu could
possibly consider.

[Bug 569495] [NEW] no log-in required for multiple users

2010-04-24 Thread Alacrityathome
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

For 10.04RC, added three different users (admin and desktop) with
password required for each.  Used the System admin "users and groups"
function.   But, at boot-up, no log-in requirement occurs and o/s boots
up automatically.

I expected ubuntu to boot-up to the log-in portion and to have one of
the three log-ins and passwords required for a full boot-up.  This is
what has happened/occured for all previous Ubuntu versions.
