[Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

2012-08-11 Thread Kevin LeBlanc
Hey all,

In addition to the 3.2.0-23-lowlatency kernel, I'm pleased to report
that my Dell Latitude D620 HAS NOT CRASHED with the 3.3.7-030307-generic
kernel.  It had been running for almost six hours straight with not a
single crash yesterday.  The 3.4.0-030400-generic kernel did, though,
after only a day.

I have not tried the 3.2.0-27-generic yet, and I have been tempted to do
it.  I just might install it in addition to the other kernels (I kept
the 3.2.0-23-lowlatency as a backup just in case the 3.3.7 kernel didn't
work out).

For instructions on installing new kernels, go to #328 where I give
detailed instructions on how to do it.

So, to recap my experiences with the various kernels:

3.2.0-23-generic and generic-pae: crashes horribly
3.2.0-23-lowlatency and lowlatency-pae: no crashes.  Tends to hog resources a 
bit, though.
3.2.0-24-generic: honestly, hadn't tried it yet, but am not exactly holding my 
breath
3.2.0-25-generic and generic-pae: crashes horribly
3.2.0-26, 3.2.0-27, or 3.2.0-29: hadn't tried any of them yet.  I'm tempted to 
try them, though.
3.3.7-.030307-generic: works quite nicely so far.  If it doesn't, I'll post it 
right here.
3.4.0-030400-generic:  crashes horribly

[Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

2012-06-25 Thread Kevin LeBlanc
It's pretty much been a week and I'm pleased to inform you guys that
staying on Linux kernel 3.2.0-23 won't freeze the computer.  Just make
sure you're not using the 'pae' kernel because that seems to be part of
the problem, unless you really, really need it.  It doesn't need to be
the lowlatency kernel, obviously.  This works with both Ubuntu and
Kubuntu.  One time I mistakenly kept the 'pae' and it froze my system,
so this is why I will be stressing to NOT USE THE 'PAE'.

In order to do this, you need to go onto Synaptic Package Manager and
completely remove any and all occurrences of the 3.2.0-25 kernel and
install the 3.2.0-23 kernel, image and header.  Again, NOT THE 'PAE'!!
All you'd need to do is have Synaptic look for "3.2.0-25" and then
"3.2.0-23" and you should be golden.  Then, when you reboot, go into
GRUB and make sure the kernel is correct.  You may need to go into the
"Previous Linux Versions" in order to find the older kernel.  If this is
the case, then a step was missed.

I will say that I've had a lot more reliability with the low latency
kernel, and will give a more detailed report about the older generic
kernel.  It did freeze once, but I was doing a SMART test on my hard
drive at the time.

[Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

2012-06-26 Thread Kevin LeBlanc
UPDATE:  The generic kernel is a bust.  It froze again when testing the
hard drive with the Disk Utility, and this morning it froze while I was
reading a fanfiction via Firefox - nothing more.  At any rate, the
3.2.0-23-lowlatency kernel has been very reliable and hasn't frozen on
me once.

So all of you Ubunters looking for a cure for what ails you and your
freeze-happy compy, I've had absolutely wonderful results from the
3.2.0-23-lowlatency kernel.  Disregard what I said about the generic
kernel.

If you want to know why I think this is, I have no idea.  I know more
about popcorn kernels than Linux kernels.

2012-06-26 Thread Kevin LeBlanc
Michael:

To clarify, it is the 3.2.0-23-lowlatency kernel that doesn't crash.
The generic kernel does.

The exact procedure is to go into Synaptic Package Manager (install it
if you don't have it), search for all instances of 3.2.0-25 and have it
removed.  The next thing to do is to search for the 3.2.0-23 lowlatency
kernel, taking care to avoid the PAE kernel unless you're running a 64
bit system., and install:

linux-headers-3.2.0-23
linux-headers-3.2.0-23-lowlatency
linux-image-3.2.0-23-lowlatency

You will definitely need to restart after that.  After you restart,
check the 'System' tab on your System Monitor.  If everything went well,
it should say this:  "Kernel Linux 3.2.0-23-lowlatency".

It is absolutely imperative that I stress that it is ONLY THE LOW
LATENCY KERNEL that hasn't crashed on me.  So take care to only install
the low latency kernel and not the generic kernel.

Hessian:

It's my pleasure, friend.  It was quite accidental, since I was planning
on having this be a portable studio and the only distro/remix which JACK
will work with is KXStudio, and only the current version has a low
latency and a realtime kernel.  As it turned out, the low latency kernel
cured the problem.

Everyone please, try this and let people know if this works for you.

Be well!

I'm glad my solution helped you, Hessian.  Basically, if you have to
access GRUB to get the older kernel, then the only step you missed was
removing the 3.2.0-25 kernel, as well as the 3.2.0-23-generic.  No
biggie.

You're absolutely right, though; a few extra keystrokes is a small
sacrifice to have a fully-working computer.

2012-06-21 Thread Kevin LeBlanc
I've also stumbled upon another possible cure due to the fact that I
REALLY wanted to use KXStudio again (is the only distro that JACK will
run on my laptop!!!) and the only version that has a low-latency kernel
is the current one.

The kernel that's used in this is actually slightly older, namely
3.2.0-23.  Again, I'm using the low-latency kernel, so I don't know if
this makes any difference.  However, the fact is I've been using
KXStudio 12.04 (KDE GUI) all night and have not had one single hard
freeze.  I tried newer kernels and didn't get any love from them.

Again, I'm using a Dell Latitude D620 with an Intel Core 2 processor,
integrated graphics (3D capable, but kinda lower rung... can't even play
Fallout 3 :( ), Sigmatel 9200 soundcard, 3 GB RAM.  Nothing fancy.

I'll give it a week then get back to you all.

2012-06-06 Thread Kevin LeBlanc
@Michael (starkpc) #270:

I tried that using Linux Mint 13 (based off Ubuntu) and it still froze
three times in one day.  I followed the tutorial in quidsup's video on
YouTube after goofing up PCLinuxOS.  After the last time LM13 froze, I
decided, for compatibility's sake, to try LMDE instead of going back to
PCLinuxOS.

I should also re-mention that this is also happening to non-Sandy Bridge
users, which I am one.  I'm really, really unimpressed by how
Canonical's bug-fix squad is not handling this.  This is enough to drive
people back to Windows, which I've actually been considering.

I agree Fredde.  This felt like a "make it or break it" moment for
Ubuntu, since it's received a great deal of positive attention lately
from the mainstream press.  Right now, it freezes worse for me than
Windows XP ever did.

I've had the same problems with Ubuntu 12.04 as well as Kubuntu 12.04.
Screen would randomly freeze, particularly while watching a video.
Pointer completely unable to move, and if audio is playing, it skips
like a scratched record.  At first I thought it might have been
instability with the newest version of KDE, but when it happened with
mainline Ubuntu, I realized that it was most likely the kernel.

[Bug 159031] Re: computer freezes when sshfs blocks waiting for connection

2013-06-16 Thread Kevin LeBlanc
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sshfs-fuse/+bug/159031

Hi all,

I've been having this problem for quite some time.  Whenever I
accidentally touch an sshfs mounted directory which is unavailable, I
have to run "killall sshfs" to get things working again.  This often
happens when I mount a directory on my home network and touch that
directory while at work.

Right now my workaround is to use the "ServerAliveInterval" option
without the "reconnect" option.  This means that when the ssh connection
is lost, sshfs exits (and unmounts the locally mounted directory).  I
then need to run sshfs again when I want to use the mount again (I could
also use autofs, I assume).

In my opinion the main problem is that sshfs leaves the local directory
in an invalid state while it is "trying to reconnect".  No matter what
happenes, it seems clear that at any given time the mounted directory
should either be mounted or unmounted -- meaning available or
unavailable.  If the underlying ssh connection has been lost, it makes
no sense to keep the directory mounted (and locking up system calls).
It's like if you pull a usb disk out of your computer.  The media is
unavailable.  It should be unmounted, no matter what.  This is more or
less the behaviour I get without the reconnect option.

I would suggest that the reconnect option should simply act as an "outer
loop" around a non-reconnecting version of sshfs.  The non-reconnecting
version should close the ssh connection and unmount the local directory
on disconnect.  The reconnect loop should then both connect and mount
when a connection to the remote host is available again.

Obviously it is also a problem that many applications don't properly
handle IO errors, and some even have IO operations in their main loops.
But sshfs, fuse, and ssh can't do much to fix this.

Best,
Kevin
