[Bug 541511] Re: MASTER: [i855] GPU lockup (apport-crash)

2011-07-28 Thread Randall Smith
For those like myself wishing to stick with LTS, I have the 855GM
working beautifully with desktop effects, xvideo and no known problems
or side effects.  Using, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
as a reference, I enabled KMS and enabled the glasen ppa to install the
latest intel driver (currently 2.15.0) and related packages like libdrm2
and libdrm-intel1.

I'm also running kernel 2.6.38-10-generic #46~lucid1-Ubuntu from lucid-
updates.  I was running backported kernels before, but this one came up
a few days ago and has run very nicely.  I thought Lucid was sticking to
2.6.32, but this seems to be a supported kernel and even says in the
notes that Canonical will support it until October 2011.

[Bug 373047] Re: Can't print Index Card on HPLIP driver HP Color LaserJet cp1518ni hpijs, 3.9.2

2010-11-14 Thread Randall Smith
hplib Version: 3.10.2-2ubuntu2.1

FYI, This is a networked color laser printer capable of PS and PCL.

Same problem here.  Works fine from OS X 10.4 (which uses CUPS).  I
noticed that the manual feed notice on the printer display requests
LETTER size, even though I set 5x7 as the paper size.  In OS X, the
manual feed requested CUSTOM size instead.  I got the same problem
printing from both OpenOffice and Evince, with both having a the page
size and print output size set to 5x7.  Acrobat uses this command:

lpr -P HP-Color-LaserJet-cp1518ni -o OptionDuplex=False -o
PageSize=Photo5x7 -o PageRegion=Letter -o Duplex=None -o
InputSlot=Manual -o ColorModel=RGB -o MediaType=Glossy -o
OutputMode=Normal

I tried changing PageRegion to Photo5x7 and it made no difference.

I'd be happy to try some new ideas.

2010-10-19 Thread Randall Smith
Creating /etc/pm/config.d/defaults and setting NEED_CLOCK_SYNC=1 seems
to be working for me on kernel  2.6.32-25.  Can someone else confirm or
deny this?

I did this after searching and finding reference to a similar problem.
See here:  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/system-
unstable-after-resume-from-suspend-719718/ and here: http://www.mail-

[Bug 565172] Re: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f76ff01c

2010-10-19 Thread Randall Smith
There's an interesting comment in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/90clock

#!/bin/sh
# Synchronize system time with hardware time.
# Modern kernels handle this correctly so we skip this hook by default.

. ${PM_FUNCTIONS}

suspend_clock()
{
/sbin/hwclock --systohc /dev/null 21 01
}

resume_clock()
{
/sbin/hwclock --hctosys /dev/null 21 01
}

So this would imply that at some point, the kernel did not handle this
correctly.  Maybe there was a regression.

Just as a reference so that everyone reading this and setting this
option knows what they're doing to their system:

   NEED_CLOCK_SYNC
   If your system clock drifts across a suspend/resume or
   hibernate/thaw cycle, you should set this to true. This will cause
   pm-utils to synchronize the system clock whenever going through a
   sleep/wake cycle at the expense of making suspend/resume take
   longer.

2010-10-18 Thread Randall Smith
Jeremy,

Why the current development release?  This is an issue in the latest LTS
release.

I can confirm that the backported Maverick kernel, 2.6.35-22 does not
exhibit this problem (though I have problems with hibernate and not S3
suspend).  While searching I've run across a few people claiming that
setting NEED_CLOCK_SYNC=1 in /etc/pm/config.d/defaults fixes the
problem.  I'll give that a try.  I'm willing to try different kernels
and settings to help resolve this issue.

2010-09-11 Thread Randall Smith
I've been having the same problem using the latest kernel, 2.6.32-24.  I
don't have issues with the mainline kernels and I didn't have this
problems with earlier versions of Ubuntu (I've run every version since
6.06 on this hardware).  It could be hardware related as the newer
kernels (in mainline) report corrupted low memory and as I understand
they work around it.  I only get the Oops after having resumed from S3
and it begins with the line BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request
at f76f0004.

I did get an unbootable system one time, where it complained about not
being able to find init during startup.  I had to run a rescue disk and
fsck the fs (ext4) to fix it.  Before the boot attempt, the system had
put the root fs into readonly mode.  I thought this might be the cause
and if it was, that should influence its severity.  I'm attaching the
output from the last Oops.  My root filesystem went to readonly mode so
I got the report with dmesg | ssh remotehost cat  oops.txt

In your modified /etc/gdm/Init/Default, try changing

[Bug 579779] [NEW] video playback spotty with xv output

2010-05-13 Thread Randall Smith
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

In Lucid, with visual effects set to normal, video playback using xv
blacks out sometimes.  The following video is a demonstration.

http://ironhacker.s3.amazonaws.com/20100513_001.mp4

Changing to x11 (no xv) video output fixes the problem, but uses much
more CPU.

This has been true in previous versions of Ubuntu since 8.04 on this
hardware.  I'm just now reporting it.

That worked.  Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by found the bisect package.

unggnu wrote:
 The reason for the slow scrolling might be that greedy migration heuristic 
 isn't activated in the bisect packages per default. You can enable it manual 
 in your xorg.conf with adding the line
 Option MigrationHeuristic greedy
 to your Device section.
 
 Have you found the bisect package which is the last one that doesn't
 crash on video playing?

I tried rac763634.  For reason unknown to me, it's not getting loaded. 
X loads up the VESA driver and I get a wacky screen.

I reinstalled it several times with the same effect.

unggnu wrote:
 Would either of you mind trying out the 'rac763634' git driver at this page: 
 http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/bisect/?
 If that version works, please try some of the older ones to see where it 
 switches from working to failing; this will help us in narrowing down at what 
 point it started working.
 
 This patch could probably be added to the current Hardy -intel driver.

When I tried to install it, I got this:

dpkg: no, cannot proceed with removal of xserver-xorg-video-i810

  xserver-xorg-video-i810 (version 2:1.7.4-0ubuntu7) is present and
installed.

So in order to get it to install, I had to remove these:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  xserver-xorg-video-all xserver-xorg-video-i810

I'll report back with any problems.  Otherwise, assume success.

2008-05-05 Thread Randall Smith
I installed it and the locking problem vanished, but I've noticed that 
firefox scrolls very slowly.  I've switched drivers a few times to 
confirm.  My hardware is:

82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)

I also tried the i810 driver, but that turns my screen into a blurry
mess.

Any idea why the new driver would cause firefox to scroll slowly.  This 
was also the case on an RC version of Ubuntu I tried that cleared up 
with the final release.  Everything else seems zippy.

2008-04-30 Thread Randall Smith
I can confirm this on a Toshiba Satellite M35X-S311 with 855GM
integrated graphics on a clean install of Hardy.  It results in a total
system freeze that requires a hard shut down.  In addition to happening
on video playback, it sometimes occurs when logging a user out.

lspci:

I agree that this should be considered important because it causes the
system to freeze.

Public bug reported:

While installing on a g3 ibook using the 2008-04-13 build of the live
cd, the installer said the apt mirror was invalid, but gave no option to
set or change the mirror.  It simply gave an OK dialog that when
pressed showed the same dialog again and again and so on.

I had a working net connection.  I also changed the configured mirrors
(so I thought) from a shell (ctrl-alt f1).  I was unable to complete the
