2019-11-26 Thread Paul F
I have installed and am now running the latest mainline kernel build
successfully.

There is still flickering at this moment in time. I am currently in the
process of making drm-tip on my machine. Do I simply run drm-tip while
running the newer kernel or is there any specific usage?

[Bug 1853694] Re: Ubuntu causing eye strain on Intel Integrated Graphics

2019-11-25 Thread Paul F
The screen is flickering in so much as there is a very faint shimmering
effect. This is usually the effect of dithering which adjusts the pixel
color values rapidly to give the impression of colors that are not
normally present. This effect is welcomed if using a low quality display
however for certain indivduals causes significant discomfort. Can it be
confirmed that any form of dithering is enabled by default in Ubuntu and
is there an option to turn it off?

[Bug 1211110] Re: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating resolv.conf

2014-06-23 Thread Paul F
I have the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr.

Not sure this is a bug, though, just a M$ Windows-only feature as it's a
TCP/IP extended property. The man page for OpenVPN describes --dhcp-
option as a Windows-specific option.

If the OpenVPN server pushes a DNS server address to the client with, eg

dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8

then on a Linux platform this option is not actioned by the client.
Instead it is copied to a set of incrementally numbered local
environment variables named

foreign_option_{n}

which are available to scripts run by the --up and --down OpenVPN
options.

The /etc/openvpn/update-resolve-conf script provided with the OpenVPN package 
parses these environment variables and
calls resolvconf to effectively do the same job in a Linuxy way.

Comment #5 is invalid since the script uses resolvconf to update
/etc/resolv.conf -- it is not edited directly.

This is not, therefore, an OpenVPN bug, excepting that the current
OpenVPN solution requires a reduced security policy by allowing builtin
executables and scripts to be called when, by design, this is normally
prohibited by default.

It is a feature request for Network Manager, though.

Yes, same as #17. Here's the apt-get upgrade o/p from a terminal.

I have previously pinned flashplugin-installer and this problem is not
coincident with that change. Still, if others affected also have held
back packages that might be useful information.

2013-08-23 Thread Paul F
Brian, Yes same problem on Ubuntu 13.04 i686 Kernel 3.8.0-29 (and
previous kernel).

Initially the update manager available updates field was blank although
it showed several MB of downloads available. I didn't attempt updates
fearing it would fall over. Days later when further updates came online
the available updates field returned although I had the impression that
it was stylistically different in some way: different font size?
different or smaller icons? Changed layout? Hard to say, but the
presentation appeared different to me.

Used apt-get from shell to download and install the updates (as I always
do, I just use the GUI to read the changelogs and version info). All
installed ok and to date there's no new updates available. Will add
comment here next time updates come online to say if all is well or more
probs.

Ref #3 above.

Assuming that lsof did complete despite its warning, it would seem that my 
unclean shutdown is not caused by ureadahead-other.log. I'm probably the victim 
of the network-manager bug. Thanks Max for the investigations and copious 
illuminations.
I had already removed myself from the This Bug Affects... list as this was

2013-05-18 Thread Paul F
I'm seeing what appears to be an unclean shutdown. It looks like / is
marked as dirty: every boot runs fsck:

% dmesg | grep sda2
EXT3-fs (sda2): recovery required on readonly filesystem
EXT3-fs (sda2): write access will be enabled during recovery
EXT3-fs (sda2): recovery complete
EXT3-fs (sda2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode

sda2 is my root / partition. There is 1 drive (SCSI) with 6 partitions.
sda1 (/boot, ext3), sda2 (/, ext3) and sda3 (swap) are all primary
partitions. sda5 (/home, ext3) and sda6 (/share, FAT32)  are logical.
Only / (sda2) is unclean.

The workaround of deselecting Available to all users in Network
Connections discussed in LP: #1073433 works for me. It would seem that
there are multiple bugs causing the same behaviour. See LP: #1073433
#124.

[Bug 1073433] Re: Ext4 corruption associated with shutdown of Ubuntu 12.10

2013-05-03 Thread Paul F
I'm experiencing similar issues on an EXT-3 filesystem. There are no
inode/block errors reported by fsck but the root filesystem (/ is
mounted on /dev/sda2 in my case) fails the fsck check at boot.

% dmesg | grep sda2
EXT3-fs (sda2): recovery required on readonly filesystem
EXT3-fs (sda2): write access will be enabled during recovery
EXT3-fs (sda2): recovery complete
EXT3-fs (sda2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode

[Edited for brevity]

This happens on every boot. The other partitions (and there are 6
including swap) all pass the fsck check.

The workaround of deselecting Available to all users in Network Connections 
discussed above works for me. Seems reasonable to assume that this is not 
filesystem specific and that the shutdown is not clean for some reason.

[Bug 1079900] Re: nForce2 cpufreq driver does not load by default

2013-01-14 Thread Paul F
Fixing LP: #1084262 would resolve this bug.

Proposal: Fix LP: #1084262 and then unwind the fixes here.

This is a better solution than the current config fix committed for the
3.7.0-3.9 kernel build:

[Config] Enable CONFIG_X86_CPUFREQ_NFORCE2=y

The main advantage is a reduction in kernel footprint since the built-in
will revert to a module which was probably the rationale for making this
change in the first place. Multiple built-ins can potentially be
modularised, eg the PCC cpufreq driver (see LP: #1061126) which appears
to have had the same problem.

The cpufrequtils package maintainer would ideally fix this upstream (see
LP: #1084262 for patch).

[Bug 1084262] [NEW] Discovered cpufreq kernel modules are not loaded any more

2012-11-28 Thread Paul F
Public bug reported:

loadcpufreq: Discovered cpufreq kernel modules are not loaded any more

--Expected--
cpufreq driver to be loaded at boot when cpufrequtils is installed

--What happened instead---
The driver was not loaded. (Can be manually loaded).

--Description--
The shell script file `loadcpufreq' fails to load cpufreq driver kernel modules 
since the modules were renamed.

Script: /etc/init.d/loadcpufreq
Kernel modules: /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/

The loadcpufreq script is hard-wired to know the cpu-specific module
names that it loads at boot. Additionally, it attempts to discover and
load other, unknown cpufreq drivers.

The unknown modules are assumed by the script to have a name beginning
`cpufreq_', eg, `cpufreq_nforce2'.

At some point, the cpufreq module names in the distro have been
rationalised resulting in the `cpufreq_' modules being renamed to
`cpufreq-'. Consequently, they are no longer discovered and loaded by
loadcpufreq.

--Solution--
Attached is a patch to loadcpufreq which resolves the problem. A changelog 
entry is included. The diff is made against the latest (version 8) cpufrequtils 
package source which has been verified against the Quantal version of 
/etc/init.d/loadcpufreq.

I have tested the patch under a number of scenarios and am confident
that it does not introduce new problems or regressions. Perhaps it can
be floated upstream to the package maintainer.


--Impact--
Limited.
This bug will only affect systems with the cpufrequtils package installed, a 
specific kernel configuration and particular cpu scaling hardware.

--Test case--
1. Install cpufrequtils under a kernel with a modularised rather than built-in 
hardware-specific cpufreq driver named cpufreq-*.ko. Eg, an nforce2-based 
machine running Quantal with kernel 3.5.0-18.29 with module cpufreq-nforce2.ko.

2. Reboot

3. Verify that the module has not been loaded at boot
% lsmod | grep cpufreq

4. Manually insert the module and verify.
% sudo modprobe cpufreq-name
% lsmod | grep cpufreq

5. Apply patch

6. Reboot

7. Repeat 3 above to verify that this time the module *has* been loaded.

CORRECTION to #6

The nforce2 cpufreq driver is a builtin under 3.2.0-32-generic-pae (see
original bug desc), so the answer to your question is no, the \em module
\ is not loaded, but the driver is present and works as expected. Sorry

[Bug 1079900] [NEW] nForce2 cpufreq driver does not load by default

2012-11-16 Thread Paul F
Public bug reported:

nForce2 cpufreq driver does not load by default

On upgrading to Quantal 12.10 from Precise 12.04.1 I noticed that the
cpufreq nforce2 driver (cpufreq-nforce2) no longer loads at boot.

The driver loads fine manually with modprobe or by adding an explicit
/etc/default/loadcpufreq file. Once loaded all works as expected.

Incidentally, trying to load it using kernel command line parameter
cpufreq_driver=cpufreq-nforce2 fails. Is this a bug? Am I misusing it?
Is it related to this problem?

I also tried a clean install of Quantal to rule out upgrade jip. Same
result.


The last kernel published to updates on Precise before my upgrade was:
% uname -a
Linux NF7-S1 3.2.0-32-generic-pae #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 26 21:54:23 UTC 2012 
i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux

which works as expected:

% cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
Report errors and bugs to cpuf...@vger.kernel.org, please.

  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0

  current policy: frequency should be within 1.46 GHz and 2.09 GHz.
  The governor performance may decide which speed to use
  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 2.09 GHz.


The Quantal kernel is:
% uname -a
Linux NF7-S1 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:27:31 UTC 2012 i686 
athlon i686 GNU/Linux

which doesn't load the nforce2 driver on boot.

% cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
Report errors and bugs to cpuf...@vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
  maximum transition latency: 0.00 ms.


There has been some builtin / module shuffling since the 3.2.0 kernel wrt 
cpufreq. For 3.2.0:
% ls /lib/modules/3.2.0-32-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/cpufreq

p4-clockmod.ko
pcc-cpufreq.ko


For 3.5.0:
% ls /lib/modules/3.5.0-18-generic/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/

cpufreq-nforce2.ko
gx-suspmod.ko
longhaul.ko
longrun.ko
p4-clockmod.ko
powernow-k6.ko
powernow-k7.ko

So, cpufreq-nforce2 was a builtin for the 3.2.0 kernel and is now a
module. Coincidence? Looks suspicious.


Consequences
Because the cpufreq driver is not loaded, there is no 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ directory. This is used by CPU monitoring 
and/or scaling software to report or change CPU speed, governor et cetera. All 
s/w using this interface will fail unless the cpufreq driver is explicitly 
loaded post boot. I noticed the problem because my conky stopped working -- it 
references /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/*. Once the driver is manually 
loaded, the conky works as expected.


To reproduce
This will require access to old metal. This bug report comes from an Abit NF7-S 
V2 with an AMD Athlon XP-M which has been running Ubuntu since Lucid without 
problem. I would expect any nForce2 chipset motherboard to reproduce this bug.


There is a similar bug (fix released) for the PCC cpufreq driver:

2012-11-11 Thread Paul F Richards
I worked my way up to version 1.0.4 a few months ago and have received

*Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500
*Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000
*Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 3000
*Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500
*Microsoft Wireless Mouse 1000

It most likely works for other mice as well. Let me know if it works for
yours.

The source code, and the Ubuntu binary packages for release 12.04

Please let me know if you have any issues. paulrichards321 _at_

Anyone know what I can do to get the word out to more people of this
fix?

Should I make a ppa for such a small project? Any ideas how to get this
into the ubuntu standard apt archive?

2012-09-25 Thread Paul F
Had a closer look at this. Scratch my theory (comment #3) about
switching routers.

The corrupted package list files in /var/lib/apt/lists are caused by the
router redirecting to an internal help page when it realises that its
internet connection is down. So, when a fetch is attempted from, say
gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-
updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages when checking for updates what
comes back is the html source from the router's help page (example
attached -- line 52 contains the requested url).

It would appear that no sanity check is done on the returned data
leaving subsequent parse attempts to choke. The corrupted files remain
and may propagate (???) causing other update failures.

On a security note, it occurs to me that an attacker in control of the
router could return crafted files in place of apt's package lists to
introduce malware as part of the normal automated update process. I
trust checks are in place to prevent this???

NB My experience may or may not be the cause of the original bug
poster's crash. As apt-xapian-index is not the originating culprit I
will file a new bug report about corrupted apt package lists.

2012-09-18 Thread Paul F
Appears to be caused by corrupted files in /var/lib/apt/lists (see ls -l
of affected files attached).

My theory is that these are corrupted when user switches between two
different internet connections (2 routers) when the software updater is
(automagically) using the connection to check for updates. In my case
the corrupted files were filled with html source from (one of) the
routers web interface pages. Weird.

2012-04-18 Thread Paul F Richards
With help from others, fIxed a few bugs in the source and added support

Also in the tar file is an optional kernel patch for the 3.3.0 series
that I have had success with. Note that you don't need the kernel patch
if you use the userland program, and don't need the userland program if
you use the kernel patch.

I still have to package this program into a .deb and .rpm.

I have confirmed it works in Microsoft Wirless Mice Models 3500  5000.

If you able to compile an application with a configure script, you can

I will be making Ubuntu and Fedora packages shortly and will post them

[Bug 971321] [NEW] Several Models of Microsoft Wireless Mice, i.e. model 3500 and 5000 have vertical scroll wheel issues in linux

2012-04-02 Thread Paul F Richards
Public bug reported:

I have created a userland application, resetmsmice, which fixes scroll wheel 
issues with certain Wireless Microsoft mice in X.org (includes KDE  Gnome 
applications), where the vertical wheel scrolls abnormally fast. Only needed if 
you dual boot between Microsoft Windows and some linux distro.
Known to fix the vertical scroll wheel issue with the following models (and 
others related):
#Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500
#Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000
This program basically just resets a setting in the mouse through usb 
communications and then exits. Only if the mouse matches vendor [0x045e] 
(Microsoft) and product code [0x0745] (a series of Microsoft Wireless mice) it 
will check for this usb setting.

This code is released under the GNU GPL v2 license.

It is available here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/resetmsmice/files/

I will be creating Ubuntu and Fedora packages shortly.

This bug has been reported previously, but the resolution I've seen has
been to unplug the receiver and plug it back in. A bit of a pain to have
to constantly do! This code will fix that.
