Bug#689368: Mouse and keyboard freeze on Ivy Bridge platform

2012-10-17 Thread Sébastien Dinot
Hi,

Alan Stern a écrit :
 In addition to what Sarah said, it's possible that your problem is
 related to the fact that the keyboard and mouse operate at low speed.
 If you connected them through a hub then that hub would communicate
 with the internal hub at high speed, not low speed.

I had no freeze since I bought wireless keyboard and mouse ten days ago.

Obviously, I am satisfied by this happy end but I am surprised too
because my previous keyboard and mouse still work fine with older
hardware...

Jonathan, as far as I am concerned, you can close this bug!

A big thanks to all of you.

Sebastien

Bug#689368: Mouse and keyboard freeze on Ivy Bridge platform

2012-10-04 Thread Sébastien Dinot
Alan Stern a écrit :
 The log file shows lots and lots of low-level communication errors.
 They could be caused by bad cabling or by bad USB hardware in your
 computer. It's unlikely that they were caused by the mouse or
 keyboard, because the log shows errors for both of them starting at
 exactly the same times.

In my humble opinion, this issue is not caused by a bad USB hardware
because I am encountering it with two different motherboards (MSI
Z77A-G43 and ASUS P8Z77-V LX), both with an uptodate BIOS.

May be it is caused by a bad cabling but my mouse and my keyboard worked
fine with my previous PC. They are connected to USB2 ports in both
cases. But to clear up this point, I will try new mouse and keyboard.

A last question: if it is a cable failure, why does it disappear
temporarily when I unload then reload the module? I do not have deep
experience and knowledge of hardware, may be there is a rational
explanation to it.

 You could try getting a USB-2 hub and attaching your mouse and
 keyboard through the hub. That might help ... or it might not.

Sorry, I do not understand the aim of this operation. Could you explain
me it?

Thanks for your help,

Sébastien

 Presumably removing and replugging the mouse doesn't help.

No.

 Does unloading and reloading the USB driver (modprobe -r ehci_hcd 
 modprobe ehci_hcd) have any effect?

I never tried it. I will test it the next time.

 Did these machines always behave this way, or is this a regression?
 Is the 2.6.32.y kernel from squeeze also affected?

It is not a regression, I encountered this bug from the first day.

If I am not mistaken, I can not try 2.6 Linux kernel because the Ivy
Bridge chipset is supported starting from 3.2 Linux kernel.

Good point! Keyboard and mouse work again after these commands.

Once again, I found the following event in the kern.log file:

And the freeze occured at 01:11:33 (more or less few seconds by my watch).

Bug#689368: linux-image-3.5-trunk-amd64: Mouse and keyboard freeze on Ivy Bridge platform

2012-10-01 Thread Sébastien Dinot
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.5.2-1~experimental.1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hi,

I am encountering random keyboard and mouse freezes which can only be
resolved by a hard reset (push the power button on the computer case).

I have this frequent and irritating issue with two differents Ivy
Bridge platforms: 

1. Processor:   Intel Core i5 3450 (IGP HD 2500)
   Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G43 (with uptodate BIOS)
   
2. Processor:   Intel Core i5 3570K (IGP HD 4000)
   Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LX (with uptodate BIOS)
  
I tried these platforms:
  
- with both the IGP and a discrete graphic card (MSI N520GT) using
  free drivers (Intel and Nouveau)
  
- with several Linux kernels:
  
  * linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64   (testing)
  * linux-image-3.4-trunk-amd64 (experimental)
  * linux-image-3.5-trunk-amd64 (experimental)

-  with both testing and unstable uptodate Debian distributions.

I can't work two hours without keyboard and mouse freeze. Sometimes,
these systems freeze three or four times an hour! :(

Except in rare cases, the system is alive. I can open a remote SSH
session and if I push the power button (on the computer case), the
logout dialog appears.

I can not relate these freezes to a special software, task or action
but they always happen when I move the mouse and I never encountered
such issue throughout a remote SSH connection.

In attachment, you will find the dmesg output dumped (through a remote
SSH connection) after the latest freeze and the kernel log file.

The last log before a freeze is always like this:


[ 8276.625165] usb 2-1.5: USB disconnect, device number 8
[ 8276.830839] usb 2-1.5: new low-speed USB device number 9 using ehci_hcd

Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft(R) Compact Optical Mouse] on 
usb-:00:1d.0-1.5/input0


Of course, I did not disconnect the mouse or shake its USB cable. :(
