[Bug 662306] Re: Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers
Ok, on the off-chance that somebody, somewhere might actually be reading these entries and following the thread, let me say that re-compiling and installing the latest e1000e NIC driver from Intel fixes the problem with kernel 2.6.35.23 just as it did with 2.6.35.22. -- Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 662306] Re: Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers
Regression! With the latest kernel update, 2.6.35.23, the network doesn't connect at all. I had to boot 2.6.35.22 to even get online to send this message. I suppose it's possible that by manually installing the updated Intel driver with 2.6.35.22, I broke the update chain. I'll try re-installing Intel's newest driver and see it this is a fix. -- Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 662306] Re: Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers
This will be my last comment on this thread, because the new Intel driver has essentially solved the problem. At most, there's now a failure-to-connect only 1 out of 4 or 5 boots, which is good enough for me. Seems to me that it would behove the Ubuntu developers at this point to either take another look at their 64-bit open-source Intel driver or, at the very least, make the latest proprietary Intel driver available for download as a restricted-software option. -- Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 662306] Re: Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers
I just downloaded and installed the latest e1000e NIC driver from Intel. This seems to help though it's still not perfect. Whereas it was taking up to half a dozen reboots before I could finally get a connection, of the last three reboots, two have resulted in a network connection. -- Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 662306] Re: Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers
Whoops! Suddenly, the wired network seems to be connecting, though nothing, as nearly as I can tell, has changed. Earlier, I had tried to connect several times from the live CD, then I put system onto a USB stick, so I could boot from that, again confirmed that the network still remained disconnected when 10.10 was booted from the USB stick. Between these attempts, I had made successful connections using 10.10 i386, 10.04 AMD64, and XP, confirming that the problem was unique to 10.10 AMD64 However, just now, I plugged in the USB memory stick, booted from it and, to my surprise, discovered that a connection was successfully made. I tried it a second time, and again it connected with the router on boot. I have the impression, but I haven't yet tested this - that I have to let Maverick make the connection first, before I click the Try Ubuntu button on the initial splash screen. By the way, when I created the above apport file, I didn't even check to see it the network manager had made a connection, because I was convinced at that time that it was incapable of connecting. It's quite possible that the network was actually connected at the time I created that file! At any rate, the problem seems to have disappeared spontaneously, or at any rate is only an intermittent problem, having to do with timing or with the state of the network. I hope I didn't waste anybody's time but my own, in thinking that this was a serious, driver- related issue. -- Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 662306] Re: Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers
The issue is still with us following full install! I went ahead and installed Maverick onto the hard drive. Sometimes it gets an IP number and connects, sometimes not, and there doesn't seem to be any particular thing that I can do during bootup to insure that it does or doesn't connect. Attached is a apport output taken when the network definitely did NOT connect. ** Attachment added: drivers.apport https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/662306/+attachment/1704855/+files/drivers.apport -- Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, sorry the info was so sketchy. I didn't mention that the NIC in question was an Intel 82566DC, which might have been pertinent, and it certainly didn't occur to me that I could save the output of apport to a file.

[Bug 662306] [NEW] Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager When running live-CD of AMD64 Maverick (Ubuntu 10.10), no IP number is assigned, and no connection is made with wired router. A perusal of Ubuntu forums reveals at least one other instance of a system using an Intel PCI-e NIC with a similar problem. This issue does NOT arise on the same system when using live CD of i386 Maverick, nor with installed AMD64 10.04. Because of the issue with the live CD, no attempt was made to complete the Maverick install, so I cannot say if the problem persists after installation, but I see no reason to suspect it would not. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 85531] Re: Firefox Crashes with no warning after load web page
This is a really old post, and I hadn't thought about this matter in a very long time. For what it's worth, I later found that removing the Ubuntu addon did not entirely eliminate the mysterious Firefox crashes in 8.10, and this was one of the reasons I soon upgraded to 9.04. The problem disappeared completely as soon as I upgraded to 9.04, and there were no further issues with FIrefox later when I again updated to 9.10. -- Firefox Crashes with no warning after load web page https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 302762] [NEW] Thunderbirds fails to write file to NTFS partition properly
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: thunderbird With Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 running under Ubuntu 8.04, I received a message with a large, attached MS Word file. I saved the attachment in my Windows XP Documents directory with no problems, then decided to save the email as well, using Thunderbird's save as / file. When I got back to Windows, the email, saved as an .html, refused to open. File not found said Windows, although the name was right there in the directory. Same with trying to copy, move, rename, or delete this file. I even tried and old command line trick, using rmdir -S, to get rid of the file, directory, and all - directory not empty was the reply. Finally, I was able to get rid of it by restarting Ubuntu, going to the Windows Documents directory, and simply deleting the file, which deleted without further incident. Another telling item about the saved file, was that it was listed by Explorer as being only a couple of kilobytes long, whereas the same email, saved in my Ubuntu home directory (where it saves and opens without problems) is almost 200 kb, because of the included attachment. It seems to me that Thunderbird file / save fails to complete the write operation in writing to an NTFS partition. I've experience no problems when copying or saving files to the NTFS partition using other tools, such as Nautilus or the command-line cp command.

[Bug 85531] Re: Firefox Crashes with no warning after load web page
I've encountered, and discovered a workaround for a very similar bug in the Ubuntu (8.04) Firefox (3.0.3) Modification (0.5) add-on. The Ubuntu Modification add-on is installed by default. Several pages at www.newscientist.com would cause the browser to crash and close suddenly. I disabled my add-ons one at a time, and discovered that disabling the Ubuntu Mod seemed to cure the problem and the pages loaded and displayed normally. I don't see that any Firefox functionality has been lost, save that it no longer displays the Ubuntu page as its home page. -- Firefox Crashes with no warning after load web page https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
