[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1220146] Re: Ralink Mediatek 14c3:7630 wi-fi card isn't supported out of the box

2016-05-09 Thread George Moutsopoulos
Latest update of neurobin makes wifi work with 16.04 and kernel
4.4.0-22-generic. I downloaded and installed latest from neurobin (thank
you 3g phone) because after upgrade the previous neurobin/kuba-moo/etc
versions did not work with the new kernel.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1423796] Re: Unable to mount lvmcache root device at boot time

2015-04-29 Thread George Moutsopoulos
OK, I managed! I had to add more modules

sudo echo dm_cache  /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
sudo echo dm_cache_mq   /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
sudo echo dm_persistent_data   /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
sudo echo dm_bufio   /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

plus, add cache_check as in 
 http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5t=119644

Booted!

This is how I set up the lvmcache
sudo vgextend LinuxVG /dev/sdb2
sudo lvcreate -L 10G -n rootCacheLV LinuxVG /dev/sdb2
sudo lvcreate -L 24M -n rootCacheMetaLV LinuxVG /dev/sdb2
sudo lvcreate -L 10G -n homeCacheLV LinuxVG /dev/sdb2
sudo lvcreate -L 24M -n homeCacheMetaLV LinuxVG /dev/sdb2
sudo lvconvert --type cache-pool --poolmetadata LinuxVG/rootCacheMetaLV 
--cachemode writethrough LinuxVG/rootCacheLV
sudo lvconvert --type cache-pool --poolmetadata LinuxVG/homeCacheMetaLV 
--cachemode writethrough LinuxVG/homeCacheLV
sudo lvconvert --type cache --cachepool LinuxVG/rootCacheLV LinuxVG/rootLV
sudo lvconvert --type cache --cachepool LinuxVG/homeCacheLV LinuxVG/homeLV

where LinuxVG has the root at rootLV and home at homeLV and sdb2 is an
SSD

  I'm experimenting with Vivid Vervet on a virtual machine and tried a

  rebuilt the initrd and rebooted the VM.

  At boot time, the system failed to activate the root LV. After some
  investigation, I found out, it's because the initrd is missing some
  essential stuff needed for activating a cached LV.

  The initrd was missing the dm-cache module. I regenerated the initrd
  with explicitly listing dm-cache in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, but
  the system still can't boot up, because now it is missing the
  /usr/sbin/cache_check utility.

  As SSDs are becoming more and more common, I think it will be common
  to use them as cache for root file systems, thus it is mandatory to
  make sure that an initrd can mount an lvmcached root device when
  necessary, preferably without /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and other
  manual initrd hacking.

2015-04-25 Thread George Moutsopoulos
I also tried the instructions in
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5t=119644
but still cannot reboot into cached hdd system

removing the cache (lvremove lvcache) every time I fail to boot, by
using a rescue usb, gave me some corruption and was just inconvenient to
further experiment. so I ended up giving up until someone else succeeds
using lvmcache.

My use would be a laptop with a small ssd 24GB drive and I think this
would be a cool way to speed up the system. actually it was intended for
that and the MS windows system did that before I wiped it out. Setting
up the lvm and installing ubuntu was easy, setting up the lvmcache was
easy too... but couldn't manage to make it boot :/

2015-04-02 Thread George Moutsopoulos
Hi Jakub,
it is great you can support development further! 

The dmesg verbosity I mentioned  is the constant
[ 1982.527072] ==rt2800_config_channel_rf7630 ch6
[ 1982.527304] SwitchChannel#6
[ 1982.751165] BW=20 EXTCHA_NONE
before connecting and after connecting
ch6 gets cycled ch1-ch14 but for some reason ch6 appears more often. And 
checking iwlist scanning wlan0 voila, my wifi is at channel 6. 

I compiled the bt succesfully, there is no strange behavour. However my
kde bluetooth applet says no bluetooth devices. I have never used
bluetooth before so I don't know if I need to configure kde for this to
work properly.

2015-04-01 Thread George Moutsopoulos
Thanks to Jakub Kicinski from linux-wireless upstream who went out of his way 
to fix this

https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7630e  solves my 100% CPU problem

Make sure your module rt2800pci is clean too. I used a clean upgraded
kernel 3.16-0.33 for this to work.

As I understand, this is not a kernel bug because the driver is closed
source. But ubuntu can perhaps support the solution with its
propitiatory drivers. Can we expediate ubuntu's attention? BTW, Jakub's
repo works fine but still has too many dmesg messages, maybe someone can
fix this as before? Also, I did not test BT since I am too happy for
that.

@levgen I send a message to mediatek every now and then. Last one was on
their google+. I will also email Asus to complain in general. On a
question about whether the card can be replaced, they replied about not
supporting linux etc. I think replacing the card is not an option on the
asus TP500LN because it is integrated.

  Elantech clickpad/touchpad lacks multitouch features.

Bug description:
  Newer versions of the Elantech multitouch trackpad are not fully
  supported in Linux.  These appear in many of the newer Samsung
  laptops, for example.  elantech.c in the kernel needs to be updated to
  support these models (up to v7 perhaps?)

  This bug is confirmed to affect a range of samsung laptops running
  Ubuntu 12.04 and newer, ArchLinux, Fedora and also affects the current
  (3.9) upstream kernel.

  A dkms package was produced in 2011 (see
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
  intel/+bug/681904/comments/64) which may fix certain older laptops
  affected by this issue, but doesn't fix newer models.

  == Original Report ==

  Hello,

  So far I've been having a problem with my Elantech multitouch trackpad in 
Linux. Basically all i get is right click, left click, and tap to click, along 
with basic  movement. The problem seems to be rooted in improper detection of 
the trackpad, likely b/c its a new revision or whatnot. Of note is that working 
elantech trackpads of the past in forums i scouted through show up as ETPS/2 
Elantech Touchpad. Mine just shows up in xinput as PS/2 Elantech Touchpad. I 
think this might be a simple fix in the end, just improper detection, I hope. 
For reference, I've tried kernel 3.5 on Ubuntu 12.10 and kernel 3.8.0-17 on 
Ubuntu 13.04 thus far, with all combinations of psmouse.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1220146] Re: Ralink Mediatek 14c3:7630 wi-fi card isn't supported out of the box

2015-03-21 Thread George Moutsopoulos
with tobiasbora solution i also get 100% cpu on ksoftirqd
I am not sure if it helps but trying acpi=off the module does not load and I 
get a multitude of the messages

===rt2x00lib_start
genirq: Flags mismatch irq 0. 0080 (:03:00.0) vs. 00015a00 (timer)
phy0 - rt2x00lib_start: Error - IRQ 0 allocation failed (error -16).

As an aside, would it help if more people contact mediatek? I sent a
question on their webform but haven't received a reply.

  The driver seems to be present in machines with pre-installed OS, but
  isn't available on the download-and-install versions!
