[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1415880] Re: 14e4:4365 bcmwl-kernel source: fix for null pointer crash
The patch from #27 appears to have fixed the kernel panics on suspend for me as well on my Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition (2015 edition) with Ubuntu 15.04 and BIOS A04. Have not seen a panic in five days while before I could not go more than one day without it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bcmwl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415880 Title: 14e4:4365 bcmwl-kernel source: fix for null pointer crash Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: The bcmwl package as of now misses one patch for a bug that occurs with BCM43142 and possibly other broadcom chipsets that will look like random disconnects, poor wifi signal and kernel warnings, See also #1379524. Adding the patch is a fairly simple process: * put the patch file in /usr/src/bcmwl-6.30.223.248+bdcom/patches * add the following line to /usr/src/bcmwl-6.30.223.248+bdcom/dkms.conf PATCH[7]=0014-null-pointer-crash.patch * run: /usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst bcmwl 6.30.223.248+bdcom /usr/share/bcmwl x86_64 $(uname -r) This has fixed the issue for me. Edit: I just wanted to add that I did not write the patch; I merely downloaded it from a paste that was linked from the respective AUR package.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1302771] Re: Kernel Update 3.13.0-22 Deletes Desktop Manager and /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
** Package changed: ubuntu = linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302771 Title: Kernel Update 3.13.0-22 Deletes Desktop Manager and /etc/X11/xorg.conf file Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I updated from Kernel 3.13.0-20 to 3.13.0-22. After the update my computer would only log in to a terminal. I found on the webs how to get log files from desktop bootup. The error that was reported was missing device section for instance BusID PCI:0@1:0:1. After searching the web, I also figured out how to fix the problem, which turned out to be the update had removed many of the files needed for the desktop to run including the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. I assume the error printout on my question above was due to the missing.conf file causing fglrx to fail to initialize properly. My first step was to reinstall ubuntu-desktop in the command line using sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop. This was a long install. In the middle of the install I was asked to select a desktop manager. I selected light-dm. I dont know if that was the right choice but I had used that for 12.04, so I figured it would work. Than I followed the directions on this website http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Saucy_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catalyst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29_BETA.2FEXPERIMENTAL under the section Generate a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Than I forced amd drivers to use that config file. The directions for that are also on that website. I than restarted my computer. I am hoping the solution to the bug may give a better idea to the developers of ubuntu what happened between those kernel updates.
