[Bug 294021] Re: Laptop with dual batteries reads both but only uses one

2009-03-08 Thread Sean-O
yes i realize that the "workarround" is not exactly the best but it
keeps the system from going into auto shutdown.  You will still be
notified before the bat dies completely.   Other than that this bug has
been open for quite a while and I have been troling the ubuntu forums
for an answer or even a direction but I've got nothing.

I can spectulate that if you were to go into the acpi code and reverse
the bat0 and bat1 id's with their hardware id's the system should
operate in the reverse order like it did in hardy ie: drain primary then
switch to secondary, thus allowing you to swap out the dead primary w/o
having to shutdown.

[Bug 319467] Re: Dell Insprion 13 lock up

2009-02-11 Thread Sean-O
Alright update:
since update to kernel 2.6.27-11 the problem has yet to emerge again, this 
seems to have solved it, Bluetooth was not the cause and I am unaware what the 
real problem was but it apears solved.

thanks everyone.

[Bug 319467] Re: Bluetooth causes Dell Insprion 13 to lock up

2009-02-01 Thread Sean-O
I really can only offer conjecture here as I am just starting to get my
hands dirty with the kernel, but this doesnt seem to be just a single
cause.

As I stated in my previous posts, the system would lock up upon a long
download or just doing nothing at all.From what I could make out in
the system logs  it would spit out a bunch of lines about bluetooth
before the lock up.  I turned off the bluetooth daemon and that seemed
to fix it, no lock ups for about 1 week, but then a few days ago it
happened again while a package mannager was downloading alien arena from
the repos.

The logs mention the device wlan0 alot and network info up to the
lockup.

I dont thing this is triggered solely by a large download however,
because When trying to replacate the lockup of the same large download
it completed just fine.

I hope this helps, I want to help make Ubuntu the strongest OS out there, just 
tell me what I can do.
-Sean

Update:
Bluetooth daemon is turned off and system just  froze again for the first time. 
 This time the trigger was a large download.  the system log had alot to say 
about wlan0 up to the lock up.   
I am including the last few lines from the message system log and the kernal 
system log.   If anyone who knows more about this than I would like a longer 
log just shoot me an email.

2009-01-23 Thread Sean-O
Alright scratch the original idea, I am pretty sure this is a blue tooth
related error.  The system logs always make alot of noise about
bluetooth at the time of lockup.   I have de-activated the bluetooth
daemon and it has yet to crash again.  simply switching off the radio
didnt correct anything, and seemed to cause a greater frequency of
lockups.why the lockups cause the caps lock and num lock to flash I
dont know.   Would you like me to post up my system log file?

[Bug 319467] [NEW] Large downloads crash Dell inspiron

2009-01-20 Thread Sean-O
Public bug reported:

At first I thought this was a Firefox specific bug, because when
downloading a large file my inspiron 13 froze up, kernal and all,
leaving the display as it was but both the caps lock and scroll lock
LED's flashing once a second, and the wifi LED each half second.  I
would reboot, open firefox and resume the download and after a minuet or
so it would lock up again.

This same lockup has just repeated itself while updating 8.10 64 bit
from a scratch install, (223 updates).

This same thing happened on the same laptop using the 32 bit ver. of
intrepid, however has not presented itself on my desktop runing the same
kernel and downloading the same 223 updates.

the only way to re-gain control is to do a hard shutdown and reboot the
system, where as everything is fine.

Marked time in system log and re-downloading updates to see what it has
to say.

I still dont know how to get into ACPI code to reverse the bat0 and bat1
identities, but you can work around the auto shutdown in the power
management tab.  rightclick on batt icon> prefs or under

[Bug 294021] [NEW] Laptop with dual batteries reads both but only uses one

2008-11-04 Thread Sean-O
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.10 32bit desktop

My laptop (dell insprion 600M) has a primary battery and a secondary
media bay battery.   Both can be seen in the power mangement icon, as
well as their charge state.The problem is that in Ibex once the
secondary battery is drained the system goes into shutdown/sleep mode
rather than using the primary battery.

  I know that in Hardy it was the case that secondary batt was drained,
and then the primary, but only when both were empty did the system go
into critical power state.
