Bug#725657: linux-image-amd64: Suspend using the suspend key changes the HDD APM level (Acer Aspire AS3810T)

2013-10-06 Thread Bob Bib
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.10.7-1

Dear Maintainer,

I suspended the notebook (Acer Aspire AS3810T) using the suspend key;
some time after resuming it back, I heard some sound like HDD heads parking, 
several times;

after some research, I've found it puts the HDD into some power-saving mode,
which (combined with infrequent cache writeback) allegedly leads to frequent 
heads parking,
which can eventually reduce HDD's lifespan.

Suspend from the menu or command line doesn't have this side effect.

Normal HDD APM state after notebook power-up:
# hdparm -B /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 APM_level  = 254

1) After suspend (using 'pm-suspend' or LXDE logout menu)  resume:
APM_level = 254

2) After suspend (using using the suspend key) followed by resume:
APM_level = 128

Initial HDD APM level value (before the suspend action) doesn't seem to have
any effect on the final APM level value (after the resume action);
the final APM level value seems to be dependent only on the suspend type.

Additional notes:
1) notebook was powered by AC adapter during the test;
2) by suspend key, I actually mean suspend key combination: Fn + F4 (F4 
key has a Zz mark on it);
3) there's some old bug report here on BTS:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489579
though I have no idea if it's really related to the current issue.

Bug#723171: linux-image-*: bug reporting scripts should mask private network addresses in report

2013-09-18 Thread Bob Bib
Ben Hutchings:
 No, the script already asks whether or not to include this information.

Unfortunately, it's not completely true;
it doesn't prevent including MAC addresses from dmesg log for wlan interfaces.

Bug#723171: linux-image-*: bug reporting scripts should mask private network addresses in report

2013-09-18 Thread Bob Bib
Wednesday, 18 September 2013, 22:34 +01:00 from Ben Hutchings:
 It is of course possible for all kinds of sensitive information to end
 up in the kernel log.  But it appears near the top of the bug report so
 if people are concerned about that then they are likely to notice this
 and delete it.
 
 The kernel log is readable by any program running on your system, but
 you can change that:
 
 # sysctl kernel.dmesg_restrict=1
 # echo /etc/sysctl.conf kernel.dmesg_restrict=1
 
 Unfortunately, basically all the information that's useful for
 understanding what's in the system affected by a bug is also useful for
 identifying the system.  If you want to keep a computer secret then you
 must avoid sending bug reports from it or about it.

Oh, you're right... thanks.
It's a quite nice info to put somewhere into Debian Wiki, if it's not there yet 
:)

Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
bug reporting scripts (located in '/usr/share/bug/linux-image-`uname -r`')
should probably mask private network adddresses (both MAC  IP)
in report (e. g., collected from 'dmesg'  'ip addr' output),
for increased privacy.

BTW, 'include-network' script, at least, already tries to filter keys  
passwords.

Bug#719547: linux: provide a PREEMPT_RT kernel image for non-x86 architectures

2013-08-13 Thread Bob Bib
Tue, 13 Aug 2013, 2:27 +02:00 from Ben Hutchings:
 If there is some platform where you think this would be particularly
 useful, please specify which.

AFAIK, ARM (armhf?) is currently a most prospective architecture;
the package name would be smth. like linux-image-x.y-n-rt-armmp.

 We're not going to double the number of kernel images by adding rt to
 everything.

In the initial bug report messag, I agreed with that:
  // Probably it's just better to wait until that patchset
  gets completely merged with the main kernel tree :)

Dear Maintainer,

IMHO, Debian would benefit from having PREEMPT_RT realtime Linux kernel images
not only for i686  AMD64, but also for other architectures like ARM.

Bug#704242: Driver for PL-2303 HX not working

2013-05-03 Thread Bob Bib
control: tags -1 - moreinfo

Hi,
sorry for a late reply.

 The question is what is the difference between 2.6.32 and 3.2.0?

Well, as for now, Squeeze main repositories contain Linux 2.6.32,
and Wheezy has Linux 3.2.41.
You can look at the Debian 'linux-2.6'  'linux' source packages;
kernel.org upstream also has a nice gitweb interface:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/log/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c?id=refs/tags/v2.6.32
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/log/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c?id=refs/tags/v3.2.41

 I attached the sources of the driver from the Debian kernel sources.
 In the screenshot of K3Diff you can see that
 there are some subroutines missing in the new driver.
 It's not only missing debug output.

There's no need of source code difference screenshots;
just use diff, e. g.:
$ diff -u old_file new_file  file_v1-v2.diff


 Is there a kernel 3.8.5 package for debian unstable or testing?
 ...
 I have compiled a 3.8.5 kernel now on Debian testing (wheezy).

It's easier to try a kernel image from 'experimental' Debian repo:
as for now, it has linux/3.8.5-1~experimental.1
(AFAIK, it should work on Wheezy):
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/linux-image-3.8-trunk-amd64

Just add the following line to your '/etc/apt/sources.list' config:
deb http://your_debian_mirror/debian experimental main

After that, update the APT cache  install the package:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install -t experimental linux-image-3.8-trunk-amd64

Johan Hovold:
  Sorry - i don't think so.
  1. It works perfect with kernel 2.6.32
  2. It works perfect using windows with the driver from Profilic
  3. I have 2 devices of this type and the behaviour is exact the same
 
 All three could be explained by flakey hardware. The 2.6.32 driver and
 possibly the Windows driver could be inefficient enough not to trigger
 the problem as reliably as the current Linux driver do.

Looks like some real kernel developer joined the discussion...
At least, it looks promising :)

Bug#704242: Driver for PL-2303 HX not working

2013-04-04 Thread Bob Bib
Hi,

Karsten Malcher:
 i have the problem that i have nearly no serial communication
 with a USB-Serial-Adapter type PL-2303 HX.

Is it working OK with other systems?
Have you checked if it works under MS Windows with the latest driver?
Maybe it's just a wiring / connection problem.

BTW, is it a USB-to-TTL or a USB-to-RS232 adapter?
(The latter have an additional level converter IC etc.)

 When you use the check tool of profilic
 the running chip is identified as PL-2303 H Chip.
 The chip not running is a Pl-2303 XA / HXA.
 Exact type is Pl-2303HX LF12313A or LF13313A

Have you checked the chip markings?
Counterfeit PL-2303 chips can often be found at the market,
some even imitate the original branding, as stated on the official site:

Hi Jonathan,

last time I used 'extract-vmlinux' for unpacking an Ubuntu kernel image
to get the upstream base sources version from it
(Ubuntu kernel images have some custom version numbers;
on running system, they even produce 2 files: '/proc/version'  
'/proc/version_signature').

It's easy to get 'extract-vmlinux' from kernel.org,
but nevertheless, it would be handy for some people
to have it installed automatically as part of some Debian package :)

2013-03-19 Thread Bob Bib
  my Acer Aspire 3810T laptop hotkeys (+) seem to function good,

I meant hotkeys (Fn+SomeKey) instead.
It's some weird webmail issue.

Bug#703280: linux: please include extract-vmlinux script in some binary package

2013-03-17 Thread Bob Bib
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.35-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

please include 'extract-vmlinux' script: 
linux_src_tree_root/scripts/extract-vmlinux
in some Linux-related binary package;
it allows extraction of a plain vmlinux from a compressed Linux kernel image,
in an easy way.

Bug#693934: fixed in linux 3.2.35-1

2012-12-26 Thread Bob Bib
Hi Kernel Team,

thanks for putting the patch into 3.2.35 --
suspend now works fine by default on wheezy/testing with linux/3.2.35-2.

BTW, what is pending here?

Bug#693934: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64: Resume from Suspend-to-RAM doesn't work for some Acer laptops

2012-11-21 Thread Bob Bib
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.32-1
Severity: normal
Tags: fixed-upstream patch
Forwarded: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15612

Dear Maintainer,

by default, suspend to RAM is malfunctioning on my Acer Aspire 3810T:
1) suspending seems to be performed correctly;
2) if you try to resume the laptop by pressing any key,
the LEDs, fans etc. seem to power on,
but the screen stays black and in 30 s. the system powers down.

A similar behavior (shutting down / rebooting instead of resuming)
has been reported for other Acer Timeline laptops.

WORKAROUND: use of the i8042.reset=1 kernel parameter.

The bugfix has been merged upstream into Linux v3.3-rc1.

I propose to include the upstream patch
('i8042-reset-on-suspend.patch',
also titled Automatically reset controller on S2R)
in the current Debian Linux 3.2 kernel.
