[Bug 1574732] Re: Regression: Kernel Update in 16.04 from last days renders nvidia driver unusable

2016-05-07 Thread Johnny Arthur
First of all, thank you for your fast response! It is amazing!

Yes, there was a question about secure boot, but - just as other users
who experienced the same problem - I was not aware about the significant
change in the handling of secure boot and the consequences thereof.
Formerly Ubuntu worked with secure boot enabled, hence I saw no reason
to disable it. There was some explanation about 3rd-Party-modules on
that dialog, yes, but because I do not use any other sources other than
those provided by Ubuntu, I didn't feel concerned. Maybe the German
translation is even more misleading (however I do not recall the exact
wording of the dialog on upgrade), because the section in the control
panel is called "Zusätzlich Treiber" and it mentions "Proprietäre
Treiber" in the text in the control panel, but not 3rd Party Software,
what I think was the term used on the upgrade dialog (though I am not
quite sure about that). And since everything worked when I selected the
older Kernel 4.2.0-35 I did not think about this at all any longer :-(
and it took quite a while to figure out the reason of the problem...

If those modules get signed automatically in the future, this will help
a lot... Maybe meanwhile the Dialog on Upgrade could be made a little
bit more clear about the problems and that those using nvidia drivers
will not be able to log in after upgrade?

I uninstalled nvidia, booted with secure boot enabled and installed
nvidia again (using the control panel -> "Zusätzliche Treiber" =
"additional drivers"), but there was no message about secure boot there.
After reboot I couldn't log in again as expected.

For me it is ok now that I know the reason. But I think a lot of people
might run into severe troubles...

2016-05-07 Thread Johnny Arthur
Thank you for this description. But it seems to be rather complicated
for a normal desktop user, who has been locked out from his system after
the upgrade to 16.04 (unity refuses to start without 3D-Acceleration!).
Couldn't this be done automatically for modules installed as ubuntu
packages?

[Bug 1574732] Re: Regression: Kernel Update in 16.04 from last days renders nvidia driver unusable

2016-05-05 Thread Johnny Arthur
The problem seems to be due to uefi secure boot option now checking also the 
keys of modules, which the nvidia driver obviously does not provide. Disabling 
secure boot solved the problem for me, but completely disabling it just because 
there is no signature for the nvidia driver seems to be a really bad option!
Shouldn't there be an option to install signatures for third party drivers, 
that are supported (nvidia, virtualbox etc)?
I think this bug rather affects the package 'shim'...

I just upgraded to 16.04 and can't log in any longer with the latest
(default) kernel 4.4.0-21. If i select an older kernel (4.2.0-35)
everything works fine. Trying to load nvidia drivers manually say
something like 'required key missing' (i would have to reboot with the
latest kernel to see the exact wording however).

[Bug 1174429] Re: error: unknown type name ”u_int8_t” when building

2013-05-09 Thread Johnny Arthur
Hallo,
probably i am totally wrong here, but i had some unexpected behaviour when 
installing these packages from proposed.

Background:
i am suffering from Bug 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1169984, ie. there was no 
hdmi output available. For this reason i installed the new proposed kernel in 
proposed, that should fix it. I also installed the proposed alsa-packages, as i 
was not sure, whether they would be necessary too.
HDMI worked then as expected, but after some time - always listening to 
internet radio - the x-window-system froze: The mouse did no longer respond nor 
most of the keyboard commands. The internet radio however continued playing. 
The only things i could do in this state were:
- terminate the X-Server using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace  and then logging in again.
- switching to console and back (logging into my user account in the text 
console even brought the internet radio back!)
This happened to me several times.
Today i reinstalled the "old" packages manually and it did not happen again 
(for now).
There was absolutely nothing relevant in  syslog, kern.log and Xorg.0.log.

Hope, it's not too confusing... Once again, probably the failures were
just a coincidence and not really related to those updates. But how can
we know? Maybe the combination of HDMI-Output with the newest proposed
kernel and these new alsa-lib's should be tested by other users? I
listened to internet radio
(http://gffstream.ic.llnwd.net/stream/gffstream_w13b) using vlc.

i have the same problem with raring.

in open_gnome the wrong variable is used to find the desktop file (browser

and in desktop_file_to_binary() the grep command finds multiple occurences of 
'Exec'. The supposed patch below only takes the first one and removes all 
following lines.

[Bug 1164196] Re: system crash while watching tv streams. Syslog message about snd_pcm_avail()

2013-04-05 Thread Johnny Arthur
the bug seems to be independent of the other bug (gpu hangs). i
activated sna acceleration as pointed out in comment #75 of the other
bug, but the system crash happened again (while listening to internet
radio) without any gpu-hang in the logs.

After hard reset i found this in syslog:

zurück, der außerordentlich groß ist: 3487192 Byte (19768 ms).
