[Kernel-packages] [Bug 974455] Re: [Lenovo IdeaPad U300s] 't' key sends Hiragana-Katana

2013-12-13 Thread Jonathan Lange
Thank you for your update Christopher.

I worked around the problem by draining the battery, as described in
more than one post above. This was many months ago, and since then I've
not had the problem again.

I won't be updating my BIOS any time soon.

Title:
  [Lenovo IdeaPad U300s] 't' key sends Hiragana-Katana

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since booting today, my laptop's 't' key (physical) does not function
  correctly. Instead of sending the correct keycode, it sends
  Hiragana-Katakana. I use a dvorak keyboard layout, so it ought to
  map to 'y' for me.

  jpds reports that cparrino has had the same issue on nearly-identical
  hardware, and that the key also does not work in grub.

  He also provides this work-around:

   $ xmodmap -e keycode 101 = t

  Which only works in qwerty. Use keycode 101 = y for dvorak.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1253951] Re: Intel wifi power save polling (PSP) causes connection issues with some access points

2013-11-23 Thread Jonathan Lange
I haven't kept accurate enough logs. I switched router at roughly the same
time as a dist-upgrade.

The blog post which led me to fix this problem is dated 2012.

It might be a while before I get around to trying the kernel but will
update bug when I do so.

Did this issue occur in a previous version of Ubuntu, or is this a new
issue?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.12 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not
boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as
Confirmed.


Thanks in advance.

Bug description:
  I got a new router (ASUS RT-AC66U) and wifi on my laptop started
  getting really slow, most noticeable in the way it dropped packets and
  had very long roundtrip times for 'ping 8.8.8.8'

  Searching online, I discovered that this might be due to a power
  saving feature, which says that some routers have a bug that makes
  power save polling not work. See
  http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/cs-006205.htm for
  details.

  Sure enough, when I plugged my AC in, packet loss went away and
  everything was great. When I removed it, packet loss appeared again.
  When I ran iwconfig wlan0 power off while AC unplugged, that
  restored correct behaviour.

  Following the advice at http://blog.linuxjunkie.com/blog/2012/04/11
  /linux-and-the-intel-centrino-wireless-n-1030/ I edited /usr/lib/pm-
  utils/power.d/wireless and changed line 39 (standard Ubuntu 13.10
  config) from power on” to “power off”.

  This fix works but obviously means the wifi will drain more power
  than it needs to. For me with this laptop, this is an acceptable
  trade-off.  In an ideal world it would only be off for broken routers.
