Bug#890326: linux: Thinkpad X61 brightness reset to 0% on each boot

2018-04-16 Thread David Banks
FWIW, I am also seeing this bug after a recent kernel upgrade.  The
laptop is Asus UX303UA.

I enclose the kernel information from reportbug in the attachment.
Also I can confirm that the workaround given above works for me.

Bug#664068: USB MIDI keyboard fails to initialize

2012-05-08 Thread David Banks
Olivier Matz's solution is working for me.  I did not realize that
this was an interaction with laptop-mode, but indeed the keyboard only
fails when the AC adapter is not plugged in and the laptop is running
on battery.  It works every time when the laptop is plugged into the
AC adapter.  I can confirm that the following line in
/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf makes the keyboard
reliably work in all circumstances:

AUTOSUSPEND_USBID_BLACKLIST=0763:2027

Thanks Olivier!

Cheers,

Bug#664068: linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64: USB MIDI keyboard fails to initialize

2012-03-15 Thread David Banks
Package: linux-2.6

My USB MIDI keyboard, which is an M-Audio Oxygen48, fails to operate about 90%
of the time when plugged into my laptop, which is an Asus U35JC.  When plugged
in, the device will be recognized by ALSA, but no events will be received.

Note: This does not always happen.  I know the keyboard is good because I also
have a Squeeze machine where the device is operating fine.  The equivalent log
from that machine is as follows:

  ... I disconnect the keyboard ...
  [  123.904080] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 2

I have successfully used the keyboard with this kernel before, but I can only
get it to work under mysterious circumstances.  Sometimes it will work after a
fresh reboot (still, most of the time it won't).  However, generally once this
error has happened it won't work again in that power cycle.  This may not be a
definite pattern though.

Cheers,
David

Bug#606762: linux-2.6: intermittent wifi dropouts with iwlagn driver

2011-02-02 Thread David Banks
Since first reporting this bug I have now found a workaround, though it's not
nice.  Disabling Wireless-N mode on the router and switching back to B/G mixed
mode made the problem go away.  I am using DD-WRT firmware on the router, which
is a D-Link DIR-615.  I noticed the problem went away when I was outside my
house in a G-only network.  Coincidentally one of my friends has the exact same
model of router (it's given away free by the largest ISP here in the UK), but he
uses the stock firmware, also in Wireless-N mode.  When I used my laptop at
his house the problem manifested again.  However, I have not tested with any
other model of Wireless-N capable router.

So the problem is either all Wireless-N support in this driver, or a problem
with the Wireless-N support in the hardware of this router model.

Bug#606762: linux-2.6: intermittent wifi dropouts with iwlagn driver

2010-12-11 Thread David Banks
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-5-amd64
Severity: normal

Hi all,

My laptop is an Asus UL30A.  It has an Intel Wireless-N 1000 BGN chip for wifi.
The PCI ID is 8086:0083.  I use the iwlagn driver along with the
'firmware-iwlwifi' package (non-free, sadly) in order to connect.  My wifi
network is Wireless-N and I do not use encryption.

I intermittently experience network dropouts.  This happens once every few days,
with no obvious pattern.  The network drops and all connections, local and WAN,
give errors.  Either the driver itself or NetworkManager will try to reconnect
after around five minutes.  I will then get a connection for a few minutes max
before it drops again.  This cycle goes on for a seemingly random amount of
time.  Sometimes it spontaneously fixes itself after half an hour.  Sometimes I
will have to reboot to fix it.  It will generally work after a reboot, but not
always!  There seems to be no pattern to how long it lasts or what fixes it.

I have noticed that I can nearly always trigger it by using something that
generates a large amount of connections, for instance if I download a popular
file through bittorrent without limiting the bandwidth use it will nearly always
cause a dropout, which will then go through the disconnect/reconnect cycle
described earlier for, again, a seemingly random amount of time.

Error message in /var/log/messages:

Dec 11 14:18:13 glimworm kernel: [10489.200053] iwlagn :02:00.0:

It seems that every time the network drops, one of these messages is logged to
/var/log/messages.  Meanwhile dmesg is cycling these messages:

Anyone have any ideas?
