[Bug 546871] Re: ath5k system freeze induced by Chrome bookmark sync
Steven McCoy, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? if so, could you please capture the oops following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Capturing_OOPs ? As well, can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results. in advance. ** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546871 Title: ath5k system freeze induced by Chrome bookmark sync To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/546871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 546871] Re: ath5k system freeze induced by Chrome bookmark sync
Hi, I had one freeze (with inoperative caps lock) with the new setup, when the computer was using bittorrent and experiencing very high network activity. I'd say since I upgraded to the backports distributions I have experienced one freeze for every 2-3 gb of data moved. However the rate of freezing is far lower than it was in April/May - I think the new wireless drivers are markedly better, and I can run chrome bookmark sync without freezes now.

[Bug 546871] Re: ath5k system freeze induced by Chrome bookmark sync
Just to clarify - since I upgraded the drivers, I have found that the google bookmark sync doesn't cause the hang (which can be positively identified by caps lock light not showing) - this is a great improvement over the situation when this bug report was opened. However I am suspicious that heavy network usage (e.g. bittorrent) is still causing these hangs say once every 24-48 hours.

Hi Toño, JE, thanks for the responses. I tried installing the following packages before I saw Toño's comment: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic-pae sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic This seemed to work better, but with heavy bittorrent usage plus running a lot of traffic through a soap client it hung again. So I tried sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.35-2.6.32-25-generic I'm pretty sure it's hung at least once since then. I've enabled proposed and backports and will try the exact instructions above.

@Gonzo - As you wrote of a rock solid 2.6.35-19-generic kernel in this context, I switched from my recent 2.6.35-19-generic-pae kernel to your non-PAE version, since I don't need PAE anyway. Both kernel taken from the Maverick backports. Observation: - 2.6.35-19-generic-pae crashes suddenly with Chrome running, blinking caps lock syndrome. - 2.6.35-19-generic took longer to crash with Chrome running, freezes hard, no caps lock syndrome.

@Jens: It took a very long time, but even with that kernel I got the black screen, blinking-caps-lock freeze on my T42p. It SEEMS to only happen on this kernel when I leave the machine on long enough for the screensaver to kick in - i.e., left it on overnight, came to it in the morning all frozen. The _only thing_ that keeps this machine stable is the MadWiFi (ath_pci) driver. This driver works just fine with every network I try it on, but it is a pain to have to recompile/re-insert the mod every time there is a kernel upgrade. I've not once crashed when using that; I was trying the new kernel out just to see if there was an easier way. -- ath5k system freeze induced by Chrome bookmark sync https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546871 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

On a Thinkpad t42p with AR5212 hardware and ath5k kernel module, I was having crashes entirely without chrome, which seems to indicate that there is something fundamentally wrong with the stock lucid ath5k module. The problem was less frequent when using only firefox (or no browser) than when using chrome/chromium (maybe libaio is exacerbating?). I tried the upstream kernel to no avail. What finally seems to have worked out for me was installing the 'linux-backports- modules-wireless' package from lucid-updates. The wifi has, at least, stabilized enough to stop randomly locking the system (even when using chrome or chromium).
