[Bug 163432] Re: XPRESS 200M 5A42: x turns backlight off, freezes keyboard, post 7.04->7.10 upgrade

2007-11-28 Thread ke1g
This eliminates the symptoms, so should I or should you update the
status to "fixed"?

Also, is there anyone else I should tell so that this note can be added to 
appropriate
release notes?

And, I may down grede to the previous ubuntu anyway due to other problems, so 
if there
are other settings or changes that you would like me to try, it would be good 
to mention
them soon. There is a contact form at http://www.mv.com/ipusers/ke1g/ if 
marking the
bug as fixed means that this communication path will be closed to us.

Thanks much, Bill

[Bug 148630] Re: Wired not available in NetworkManager after wireless is used (Gutsy)

2007-11-28 Thread ke1g
I haven't tried wired, but I may have another manifestation of this, or I may 
have something unrelated,
so I ask, are you able to switch locations when they use different access 
points?

When I use network-manager to select and apply another location, for the 
purpose of connecting the
the AP that I'm now near (roaming never worked for me in feisty), I get the 
song and dance, but no IP
address on the interface (ath0, atheros in a Toshiba).  If I then reboot, the 
interface comes up fine
with the newly selected AP.

If you're experience doesn't match, I'll perhaps open a fresh bug.  But it 
strikes me that the problems
might be related.

I don't know how related, but the Atheros in my Toshiba Satellite (lspci 
reports AR2413) connects,
shows other networks in network-manager properties SSID list...  (It has 
problems switching AP
without a reboot, but that sounds like a separate issue.)

[Bug 148630] Re: Wired not available in NetworkManager after wireless is used (Gutsy)

2007-11-28 Thread ke1g
I found the long cat-5 cable and plugged in.  Maybe I wasn't patient enough, 
but the interface
didn't come up on its own.  It was suitably checked, and DHCP was selected.  I 
can bring it
up with sudo ifconfig eth0 down followed by ...up , but I also have to bring 
the wireless down
with ifconfig before the routing gets changed to use the wired (I have a slide 
switch to shut off
WiFi, again, maybe I didn't wait long enough).  I'm not sure what to try in 
order to confirm what.
I can cycle things in various ways if it helps in the search (though this will 
be my last playing
for about 18 hours).  Just make a detailed suggestion.

[Bug 163432] x turns backlight off, freezes keyboard, post 7.04->7.10 upgrade

2007-11-17 Thread ke1g
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd

Today I upgraded my Toshiba Satellite M45 from an up to date Feisty to
Gutsy.  All appeared to go well.  I let it drop the no longer supported
packages that it suggested.

Upon reboot, splash screen and progress bar run, but when X server
starts, the screen goes black.  Not just dark, but black, so I presume
the backlight is being shut off.

I tried blind switching to a virtual terminal and logging in to reboot
(root is enabled on this box, so that's easier than might be), but with
no effect.

I am able to ssh into the box, run ps, run emacs (which runs fine on the
X display of the system I'm sshing from), issue sudo shutdown, etc.  The
X server appears to be running.  When I try logging in on the consold
keyboard by using, say, CTL-ALT-F2 to go to a virtual terminal (there is
a suitable getty running) and log in blind as either myself or root, no
extra bash shows up in ps alx, so I presume that the keyboard isn't
working, or the X server is too wedged to let the virtual terminal
switching work.

It has an ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M, which isn't mentioned in bug 132716,
but I tried the device option "LVDSBiosNativeMode" "false" suggested in
the last post there and in the release notes.  This does NOT produce a
workaround.

The laptop is now NOT USEFUL under Ubuntu (and we could argue as to
whether it's useful under XP), so I'm hoping for some help finding a
workaround.

Aditional:

X server consumes 99.9% CPU according to top.

radeontool light on
doesn't turn the light on.

Config file is attached.  There is no change from what worked on Feisty's server
other than the workaround option line mentioned in the release notes.

And the log file from a fresh start is attached here.

I'm happy to try downgrading the server, etc.  I'll need a certain amount of 
instruction
as to what versions to try, any required sources changes, command line command
(though I can probably run Synaptic remotely), since I'm no apt/deb expert.

And looking at the log, I'm not convinced that radeonhd is involved.  I figure
that it's just the ati server (though I don't really know).  Since I don't know
how to "retarget" this against just xserver-xorg-video-ati, I'm guessing that
adding that package is as close as I can come.

[Bug 132106] Re: [gutsy] keyspan serial adapter not detected

2008-01-04 Thread ke1g
I dusted off my USA-19HS today, because I needed it, but since I've upgraded
to gutsy, I wound up here.

I tried Denis's .deb, but, although it's still 2.6.22-14-generic, some even 
lower
level version number moved from 46 to 47, and the package doesn't install.

Ok, so I set up to build kernels, then tried to follow the instructions 
referenced
above, but with limited success.  Probably I don't understand where all I have
to edit to re-enable the keyspan driver.  I tried debian/config/i386/config.386
since the recommended "oldconfig" invocation seems to build up config from
the config.* files in the arch directory (but I later noticed that it then seems
to delete the config thus generated), but still no keyspan stuff.

(The last time that I configured a kernel I used make menuconfig, which worked
fine.  But the kernel build system is already complex without adding the debian
layers around it, and I'm fairly lost)

So, Denis, if you're listening, can you give me a pointer as to which files to 
edit?
(And did you have to add the execute bit to the stuff in debian/scripts/misc in
order to run the oldconfig script?)

I figured that I'd comment here, rather than asking in a forum (just yet) to add
my voice to the chorus saying that disabling the user's hardware over an
abstract licensing tif, and not providing an obvious and simple way for the user
to make the opposite choice, is a less than fully correct thing to do.

[Bug 676624] Re: Panel applets randomly fail to start.

2011-11-24 Thread ke1g
This still occurs in 11/04.  I don't remember it when first installed,
so recent updates may have re-introduced this (if it was ever gone).
This is on an Acer Aspire 5517 (AMD 64-bit) with the classic interface.
As reported, re-logging in seems to bring things back.  My gut suspicion
is that on the first login after booting, something hasn't fully
finished starting up, and the applets or the panel trips over it, or
possibly something is very busy, and the panel's applet launcher or some
call the applets all make times out.
