[Bug 1824891] [NEW] ever since updating to 18.04 ethernet keeps resetting several times per second

2019-04-15 Thread Michael Bloom
Public bug reported:

Ever since I updated this system to 18.04, the ethernet has been resetting 
several times per second.
/var/log/syslog looks like this fairly rapidly.  It makes updating awkward.  I 
have to keep restarting the update because it keeps complaining intermittently 
about being unable to contact the repository, but the system is currently up to 
date as of a few minutes ago.
 
syslog looks like this:
Apr 15 16:00:30 notebook kernel: [42489.401932] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link

1) Here is lsb_release -rd:
Description:Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release:18.04
2) apt-cache policy pkgname: NA, as far as I know.
3) What you expected to happen:  Ethernet to stay up
4) What happened instead: It keeps bouncing like atrial flutter!

kern.log and syslog files are filled from top to bottom with lines like those 
shown above.
Similarly, dmesg -d shows only lines like:

[Bug 1201134] Re: LXDM logins not being logged in utmp

2019-04-15 Thread Michael Bloom
I don't think the authors consider this a bug.  As of 18.04, it's still
hardcoded this way.  The following is one of two essentially (for your
purposes) identical instances:

src/lxterminal.c:1252:  
  vte_terminal_fork_command_full(
VTE_TERMINAL(term->vte),
VTE_PTY_NO_LASTLOG | VTE_PTY_NO_UTMP | VTE_PTY_NO_WTMP,
pwd,
exec,
env,
G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH | G_SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO,
NULL,
NULL,
>pid,
NULL);

Probably, replacing those flags with a zero in both cases would be sufficient 
for a personal system, although I haven't checked for unanticipated 
consequences.
In my opinion, they should have at least made it an option to configure. 

I did a quick test just now, of manually zeroing the argument in gdb, which 
verified that something like the following should work:
Probably something like:
#if USE_UTMP
#define LOG_UTMP VTE_PTY_NO_LASTLOG | VTE_PTY_NO_UTMP | VTE_PTY_NO_WTMP
#else 
#define LOG_UTMP 0
#endif

except it only works for root, presumably  because before the call to
the fork (or spawn) routine, there must be a setuid call that is too
early. I hope it's not in the vte library, but I doubt it, if other
terminals (such as xterm) do the right thing.

[Bug 1791309] Re: pcilib: sysfs_read_vpd: read failed: Input/output error

2019-01-03 Thread Michael Bloom
Originally,  I had associated my having plugged a Sun Microsystems
button-cell powered microphone into the microphone jack with the sudden
failure of all ALC882 functionality in an ASUS G2S running  18.04

But I just happened across a mention of the alsa-info.sh script  for
debugging a similar issue, and upon running it I got the "pcilib:
sysfs_read_vpd: read failed: Input/output error" message reported here.

The script reported:

[Bug 1800887] Re: launchpad is claiming my report has one error, but is not flagging what that error is

2018-10-31 Thread Michael Bloom
You may choose to cancel this bug. Or better, you may choose to fix (or
at least warn about) the problem I am about to describe.

The cause of the difficulty resulted from my having originally entered:
"Network Manager and/or ntpd"  under "In what package did you find this
bug?". The page had flagged that, so per recommendation, I clicked "I
don't know instead".

However, because I did not erase the words "Network Manager and/or
ntpd", when I clicked "Submit",  the web page decided that I should have
clicked on the button next to the words that I did not erase, so it re-
clicked it for me and unclicked "I don't know", which re-introduced the
page's  recognition that I had made an error.

Because I had explicitly clicked "I don't know", it hadn't occurred to
me to consider that clicking "Submit" would have caused my most recently
chosen answer to the "package" question to have been reverted to my
previous answer by the page itself, on my behalf.  I had already fixed
the error I had made on that part of the page (or so I thought), so when
another error was flagged,  I looked everywhere else on the page to try
to figure out what the page was complaining about.

I understand that this may have arisen out of an idiosyncrasy in the
implementation, but with that being the case, it would take only a few
additional characters of code to detect what it could consider to be an
"incomplete change" and provide some warning of its inability to handle
the manner in which a human would normally and naturally be expected to
correct the error I had originally made and corrected.

[Bug 1800888] [NEW] interfaces repetitively deleted in apparent synchrony with up/down network interface seesawing

2018-10-31 Thread Michael Bloom
Public bug reported:

In Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release:18.04

Occasionally an attempt to open a connection fails, or an attempt to
transfer a file, or do something else that works by opening a socket
fails.  Other things that you would expect to proceed normally with an
already opened socket continue to do so. That's the case with TCP, at
least.  One might draw a conclusion based on the log contents described
below that it would probably not so be for UDP, but I haven't tried to
verify that.

Examining syslog reveals groupings of strange repetitive behavior as
demonstrated in the 3 successive groups copied from syslog below.

I'm not certain of exactly when this behavior first appeared. I don't
know if it's related, but since it appeared, I have seen no more
instances of a different  anomalous interface network interface behavior
(namely:  the network being unavailable upon system resumption following
system suspension, and requiring performance of at least once more
system suspension in order to restore network connectivity)

The following are the most concise extracts I could make from the logs to 
demonstrate the issue. See the attachment for more:

While not scientific, I suspect the following  view of the (brief enough to 
permit reliable TCP byte streams, as verified by md5sum) timing between "link 
down" and "link up" events (as opposed to the much longer amount of time 
elapsing between "link up"  and the next down event) might help to explain why 
the problem is not more symptomatic than it is:

[Oct30 20:23] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is down
[  +1.544088] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex

[  +1.578927] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex

As before, this is brief, but enough to be illustrative, and  more can
be found in the tarred log info.

Public bug reported:

I would try to enclose the report that it has the problem with, but it
would flag that report as having one error, too,  without flagging the
error itself, so I don't know how to be specific about it.

[Bug 1767116] Re: package nvidia-340 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/lib/udev/rules.d/71-nvidia.rules', which is also in package nvidia-kernel-common-390 390.48-0ubunt

2018-05-13 Thread Michael Bloom
At their web site, Nvidia is able to detect the specific nvidia GPU
present in the current system from the web page.

It would thus seem to be reasonable for an nvidia package installation
to perfom a similar check during installation, and compare the current
GPU against a list of those supported by the software being installed.

Unless manually overridden, this could be used to prevent installation
of versions of software known to be incompatible with the current GPU
from interfering with a separate installation of compatible software.
(or to revert steps already performed it if the check could not be
performed before changes had already been made)

The use of such a check could be prophylactic against bug reports such
as this one.

[Bug 215624] Re: Philips Semiconductors DVB TV Tuner Card Not Working

2012-03-27 Thread Michael Bloom
The driver at http://powarman.dyndns.org/hgwebdir.cgi/v4l-dvb-saa716x/
reportedly builds and works OK with older releases using linux versions
2.6.24 thru at least 2.6.35, ., but it apparently has dependencies on
linux 3.x that keep it from building.

I tried compiling it on Oneiric.

There were a lot of errors,  most resulting from undefined macros such as  
I2C_CLASS_TV_DIGITAL and T_DIGITAL_TV 
and from a missing linux header:

  ( v4l/dvbdev.c:36:28: fatal error: linux/smp_lock.h: No such file or

[Bug 930350] [NEW] xorg.conf plus emacs causes abrupt logout via Xorg SEGV

2012-02-10 Thread Michael Bloom
Public bug reported:

This is in 11.10, but also occurred in 10.10

With nvidia-current (280.x) installed:

If there is no xorg.conf,  everything is fine.  It takes Xorg longer to
start up, because it has to load extra drivers (before unloading all but
the nvidia driver), but the problem being reported does not occur.

But if one creates an xorg.conf (whether with nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-
settings, or just by hand),  there is a severe stability problem.

Immediately upon starting emacs, the Xorg started using that xorg.conf
dies with a segmentation fault, causing an abrupt logout.

This is not limited to emacs.  The same thing happens when starting
VirtualBox. Presumably other programs can trigger the SEGV.

To reproduce the problem, you just need to be running an Xorg that was
started using an xorg.conf that loads the nvidia-current  driver(or a
related one from the nvidia-260 to nvidia-290 family)  and type emacs
from a bash prompt.

As stated above, the problem only occurs when there is an xorg.conf
file.  If the same driver is instead loaded via Xorg's heuristics
because there was no xorg.conf, then Xorg  does not incur the SEGV when
emacs starts.

The problem does not appear to occur with the legacy nvidia-96 driver
still supplied for old GPU's. I do not know whether it occurs with the
legacy nvidia-173 driver.  I've reproduced it with every incarnation of
nvidia-current since nvidia-260.

If one had to guess,  something used by nvidia-current is accidentally
uninitialized,  but when there is no xorg.conf,  xorg loads many other
drivers   (and then unloads all but the best choice during startup)
and one of those other drivers happens to initialize that something.

The attachment contains an xorg.conf created by nvidia-settings.   When that 
(or ANY!) conf was in use,  emacs triggered a segmentation violation, as shown 
in the file Xorg.0.log-SEGV.

Looking at the file: Xorg.0.log,  note that without being told what to
do by an xorg.conf,  Xorg loaded, in sequence, the six modules:

[  6529.541] (II) LoadModule: nvidia
[  6529.541] (II) LoadModule: nouveau
[  6529.542] (II) LoadModule: nv
[  6529.542] (II) LoadModule: vesa
[  6529.543] (II) LoadModule: fbdev
[  6529.545] (II) LoadModule: fbdevhw

and then unloaded in sequence the five modules

[  6529.541] (II) LoadModule: nouveau
[  6529.542] (II) LoadModule: nv
[  6529.542] (II) LoadModule: vesa
[  6529.543] (II) LoadModule: fbdev
[  6529.545] (II) LoadModule: fbdevhw

So that the only one of the original six that remained was nvidia.

It seems a reasonable  hypothesis that one of the other five modules
performed an initialization that nvidia should have performed, but did
not,  and without that initialization having taken place in the
instance of Xorg which had an xorg.conf,  when emacs exercised a code
path which involved the uninitialized item, the SEGV ensued.

[Bug 570542] Re: linux-image-virtual does not include ahci module, prevents virtualbox from booting an Ubuntu guest

2012-02-07 Thread Michael Bloom
I had written: How do you get the workaround above to work when the
host won't boot?

Duh! I just had to scroll down to the generics that were just off
screen,  so now I can install the workaround.

Selecting the package linux-virtual fortunately does not de-install
linux-generic,  but it does cause the host system's grub config to be
updated to boot linux-virtual by default.

Was the current  linux-virtual  released without  first trying to boot a
host system?  If someone had tried a simple reboot after installing
linux-virtual, they would have noticed that the host could no longer
boot!  Unless they had manually installed the workaround as well,
simply knowing that it was needed rather than relying on the
dependency mwechanism.

Someone will probably respond that you are not supposed to install
linux-virtual on a host machine.  And it's probably even documented
somewhere.  But if that's the case,  shouldn't there be some check
performed to prevent (or at least warn about) it's installation on  a
host machine?

[Bug 570542] Re: linux-image-virtual does not include ahci module, prevents virtualbox from booting an Ubuntu guest

2012-02-06 Thread Michael Bloom
Well I THOUGHT I was preparing to use virtualbox on oneiric when I
apparently downloaded that virtual kernel.  Now the system I was going
to use as host is failing to boot with those ahci: unknown symbol
messages, as well as  getting HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sda:
Invalid Argument messages.

How do you get the workaround above to work when the host won't boot?

[Bug 923534] [NEW] problem with embedded mime types in linux firefox 9.0.1 on ubuntu oneiric

2012-01-29 Thread Michael Bloom
Public bug reported:

Patent Images at the U.S. Patent office are loaded with code such as,
for example,:

 embed src=/.DImg?Docid=06254230PageNum=1IDKey=A126567080D1
ImgFormat=tif width=570 height=840 type=image/tiff/embed

xine-plugin is installed,  but,  A) when trying to access the patent
images, one gets the message A plugin is required to display this
content.   B) opening a tiff file that has been manually downloaded
(using a href=file:///pathname) brings up the desired image, but
getting the image to that path is a hassle, especially when a patent has
quite a few images, as one must view the source, grab the desired URL of
each image that has failed to display,  and fetch it manually to save it
to a file, which can then be viewed using a hand crafted /a href=...
. Using an image viewer manually saves that last step, but one must
still initially view the source to get the URL, etc...
