Public bug reported:
Last updated kubuntu gutsy (2007-10-07)
HW: Laptop compaq presario series 2500
____________________________________________
*Summary*
Installing irda-utils (and openobex-apps) causes:
- infra-red stuff does not work (ali_ircc does not load)
- system does not enter X when rebooting remaining completely frozen
*Cronological description*
1. I installed irda-utils
2. Run related irda scripts (installed in /etc/init.d)
3. Could not get irxfer or ircp to work
4. lsmod did not show ali_ircc module, so I did
modprobe ali_ircc
and got the following message:
FATAL: Error inserting ali_ircc
(/lib/modules/2.6.22-13-generic/kernel/drivers/net/irda/ali-ircc.ko): No
such device
5. dmesg shows:
[ 1280.232000] NET: Registered protocol family 23
[ 1361.760000] ali-ircc, driver loaded (Benjamin Kong)
[ 1361.760000] ali_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8
[ 1393.228000] IrCOMM protocol (Dag Brattli)
[ 1478.052000] ali-ircc, driver loaded (Benjamin Kong)
[ 1478.052000] ali_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8
[ 1521.320000] usb 3-3: USB disconnect, address 2
[ 1585.580000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[ 1608.680000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
6. lsmod | grep ir shows:
ircomm 23812 0
irda 202300 1 ircomm
crc_ccitt 3072 1 irda
7. Rebooting after this (choosing NO SPLASH)
I could see an apparently normal reboot until the point (not absolutely
sure here) kdm launches X.
The screen became all black (no cursor) and the keyboard became
completly frozen, even the kernel magic combinations (alt+prt sc+{s,u,b})!
8. I pressed power off button for 5 secs, booted from another partition,
entered the previous system using chroot and uninstalled irda-tools
using aptitude.
After this I could reboot the system again.
9. I tried all of this several times. So, it is always reproducible.
Regards.
