[Bug 1889920] [NEW] Grub unable to boot Ubuntu when using theme with PNG images

2020-07-31 Thread Allan Crooks
Public bug reported:

I normally use Linux Mint, but I tested the behaviour with Ubuntu and
saw the same results.

The problem seems to occur when:
 - I use Grub installed by Ubuntu 20.04.
 - I install a Grub theme which has PNG images in it.
 - I try to boot into an Ubuntu 20.04 OS.

When I select the OS from the menu, the screen just goes black and
remains that way. If I run it using the other options (where I can see
the output), the last thing it prints is "Loading initial ramdisk..."
and then just hangs there.

To avoid this problem, I can:
 - Boot into an Ubuntu 18.04 OS - the problem doesn't seem to occur there.
 - Manually remove references to images in the theme file.

I'm trying this on a Dell XPS 9380. It didn't matter if I was using a
newer kernel (5.4.0-40) or the default one upon install (5.4.0-26). It
wasn't specific to the installation, since I had multiple installs
trying to debug the issue (both of Linux Mint and Ubuntu).

I tested with the grub2-theme-mint-2k package, but then also tried
downloading other themes from other sites and saw the same issue.
Removing the references to the png images in the file allowed it to work
- it didn't seem to matter that the "insmod png" line was still present.

And it's also really strange that it only seemed to affect Ubuntu 20.04,
but not 18.04 (using kernel 5.3.0-59). I haven't seen anyone else
complain about such a thing, so I don't know if it's something highly
specific to my setup that's causing it.

[Bug 1258837] Re: [Dell Latitude E7440] ALPS touchpad keeps having state reset

2014-06-14 Thread Allan Crooks
There was some discussion about this bug on the linux.kernel.input group
a few months ago - see the link in comment #47.

There was an e-mail I did receive from Tommy Will which I thought was
also posted to the newsgroup, but apparently not, so I'm going to
include it here:



Sorry for wait a long time. I investigated this issue and with my
Dell Latitude D630 + Dock + External Rushmore device environment,
I can reproduce it with a very low rate.

psmouse serio1: DualPoint TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync
at byte 6 occurred after I continuously touch the
 touchpad for more than 5 minutes.
However, it seems a bit difference from yours. Once my touchpad lost
sync, it will recover immediately and will not occur
until next 5 minutes. (From your mail, it seems much easier to reproduce)

After that, I tried to investigate with my low reproduce rate
environment. Here is what I have tried.

1) Log the raw data and locate why lost sync occurred.
I found that when lost sync occurred, it first received several
unknown packet that could not pass our packet valid logic. I asked
our H/W team member to check if it maybe our device's potential bug or
a hidden mode, but got the answer with NO. Our F/W did not ever
design such packet format and they never saw that. (Please see my
attached picture)

2) In order to know where such weird packet comes, I used a tool to
capture the raw PS/2 data sent from touchpad. However, as long as
I connect the tool to debug, I can not reproduce the issue anymore : (
# I'm not familiar with H/W and have no idea why...
So, in a word, I still can not prove that this weird packet does not
come from our touchpad.

And here is my guess.
In laptop, there is a module called EC. It's main for coordinate the
PS/2 data for both touchpad  keyboard. I'm now wondering if it's a
potential issue
of Linux EC driver for E7440. Under some situation, maybe EC will
forward wrong data to our input driver ?
If so, that will be help to explain why I can almost not reproduce it
on my side.

Finally, when I investigate this issue, I found some initialization
are no longer needed in latest Windows driver. Although I do not think
it's the root cause
of this time's issue, if it's lucky enough, it may have chance to
reduce the reproduce rate. Please have a try if you have time



On a sidenote, this problem seems to be worse on Ubuntu 14.04.

[Bug 1264346] Re: [Dell Latitude E6520] After suspend, machine very slow with ondemand governor

2014-03-29 Thread Allan Crooks
 Since I reported the problem I changed this power adapter and did not
see the problem again. Do you use a non-Dell or non-compatible Dell
power adapter ?

I've always been using the standard Dell power adapter that came with
the laptop. The last time it happened, the laptop was running from
battery.  The problem does seem to be a lot less frequent, but when it
does happen, it seems the CPU is pegged at 756 MHz (a number in the
700's anyway, I can't recall the precise figure at the moment.) I've
been using an applet to keep an eye on the frequency.

Having this problem as well with my Dell Latitude E7440 - switching to
performance seemed to help as well (thanks Laurent!)

The slowdown doesn't always happen, but it does appear to happen after
sometimes resuming from standby. I've not known whether to blame it on
the DE I was using (Cinnamon) or some other component.

I've posted in gmane.linux.kernel.input group (or is it just

My feeling is that this is a kernel bug, rather than specifically an
Ubuntu one. But I don't know how to get the attention of the correct
people to help fix it.

[Bug 1048258] Re: Cypress trackpad gets psmouse lost sync / driver resynced warnings

2014-01-05 Thread Allan Crooks
@Kyle Fazzari - it turns out that my laptop has an Alps touchpad rather
than a Cypress one, so the fix would have no effect for me anyway..
Searching for the error message had brought me here, so I presumed it
was the same issue. I've opened up a separate bug for the Alps touchpad
(see #1258837).

2014-01-05 Thread Allan Crooks
Would it be fair to say that this issue should be raised directly with
the gmane.linux.kernel.input group to make progress?

@Carl W - You might possibly find the tip in comment 5 useful to stop
the jumpiness of the pointer. Alternatively, you could use a much older
kernel which will use the generic mouse drivers rather than specific
touchpad ones (you will lose functionality if you do that, however).

[Bug 1258837] Re: [Dell Latitude E7440] ALPS touchpad keeps having state reset

2013-12-22 Thread Allan Crooks
From 3.5.0-30 and earlier:
⎡ Virtual core pointerid=2[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer  id=4[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse  id=12[slave  pointer  (2)]

From 3.5.0-31 onwards:
⎡ Virtual core pointerid=2[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer  id=4[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ DualPoint Stick id=12[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePointid=13[slave  pointer  (2)]

When I booted into 3.5.0-44 to check how xinput identifies the touchpad,
the problem seemed a lot more severe and immediate. So I think later
kernels may have more of a problem with their implementation. That might
possibly help in terms of determining what makes the problem worse.

I'll carry on using 3.5.0-30 for a while to see if I get any of the
error messages appearing.

[Bug 1258837] Re: [Dell Latitude E7440] ALPS touchpad keeps having state reset

2013-12-22 Thread Allan Crooks
Just based on the last test that I did, it would seem that the drivers
in use in kernel 3.5.0-31 are different to the generic mouse ones in
kernel 3.5.0-30 (looking at the output from xinput) - rather than that a
bug was introduced into the same set of drivers.

If the generic mouse drivers work and the Alps-specific drivers cause
problems - I'm not sure how it would help to bisect the commits; you
would either have to revert to the generic drivers as a solution or try
to debug the Alps driver without having a previous working version of
those drivers as a starting point for investigation.

[Bug 1258837] Re: [Dell Latitude E7440] ALPS touchpad keeps having state reset

2013-12-21 Thread Allan Crooks
I tried using the kernel version that came with the released version of
12.04 (on an original install base of 12.04.3), but that seemed to cause
stability problems.

So instead, I installed the original version of 12.04, and that seemed
to work without reporting any problems.

I then installed 12.04.2 without applying any updates, and that also
seemed to work. So using the 3.5.x releases (I forget which version
12.04.2 uses by default), I started bisecting to try and find out which
version seemed to introduce the problem.

I was able to find various releases where the bug didn't seem to exhibit itself 
after continued use:
 - 3.5.0-23
 - 3.5.0-27
 - 3.5.0-31

And various versions where it did:
 - 3.5.0-32
 - 3.5.0-34
 - 3.5.0-44

Tailing kern.log using the 3.5.0-32 kernel:

I was about to say that 3.5.0-32 seemed to be the first version I could
recreate the bug in, but in the time that I've been writing this
comment, I've encountered the lost sync error using the 3.5.0-31
kernel (it's taken nearly an hour of uptime and continual use to stumble
across it). I'll carry on bisecting it. It's anecdotal, but it did seem
that kernels which were 3.5.0-32 or later were able to trigger the bug
much quicker than the earlier kernel versions I was testing with.

Updated the BIOS as you suggested. From the terminal:

I'm using the latest kernel (as suggested in comment 3) and the
resetafter parameter (as suggested in comment 5). I find it difficult to
recreate on demand. I managed to see those errors within half an hour of
resuming the laptop from suspend. I didn't see any such messages in the
log while I was testing prior to putting it on standby, and I haven't
seen any messages a while after resuming. I'll test with it more.

2013-12-18 Thread Allan Crooks
I've disabled suspend on the laptop and continued to use the laptop so
that even the screensaver doesn't kick in. I've also removed resetafter
kernel parameter.

I booted the laptop with both kernels, ran tail -f /var/log/kern.log
in a terminal and left it running until I saw error messages (and when I
did, I ran uname -a to ensure I was running with the right kernel):

Running with Saucy's kernel:

2013-12-18 Thread Allan Crooks
It's a fairly new machine, so the only other Linux OS it has had on it
is Linux Mint 15, which is based on 13.04. The problem seems to be more
frequent there.

[Bug 1258837] Re: Dell Latitude E7440 ALPS touchpad keeps having state reset

2013-12-09 Thread Allan Crooks
Tested with the newer kernel - running uname -a gives me:
Linux wyvern 3.13.0-031300rc3-generic #201312061335 SMP Fri Dec 6 18:37:23 UTC 
2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And in the logs:

Dec 10 01:14:28 wyvern kernel: [ 1562.702058] psmouse serio1: DualPoint 
TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 - driver resynced.

I didn't get much of the jumping around behaviour - in fact, I didn't
realise that anything was wrong in that sense until I looked in the
logs. Also, a later message talked about losing sync at byte 6 (rather
than at byte 1, which is the usual message).

It's difficult to recreate the bug on demand, so I normally just have to
use the system normally for a while until something happens.

[Bug 1257927] Re: Installing mongodb package via aptitude destroys Cinnamon install

2013-12-07 Thread Allan Crooks
This affects the latest version of Ubuntu too. The default proposal by
aptitude is to uninstall a lot of packages - in Ubuntu's case, this
includes ubuntu-desktop.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but running sudo apt-get update seemed to have an
effect such that the suggested installation path doesn't require any
packages to be removed...

The touchpad is recognised as a AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad. This
is occurring with Ubuntu 13.10, though I have also seen this behaviour
in the version of Linux Mint based on Ubuntu 13.04.
