[Bug 238789] Re: kernel 2.6.24-19

2008-06-11 Thread Dimitrios Symeonidis
Dear Giovanni, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu
better.

Ok, so you can boot with kernel version 2.6.24-18 but not 2.6.24-19.

We are going to need to know the hardware included in your system, and any 
error messages the kernel issues.
Booting the working -18 kernel, please run the following 4 commands, and attach 
the resulting files.
 *   uname -a  uname-a.log
 *   cat /proc/version_signature  version.log
 *   dmesg  dmesg.log
 *   sudo lspci -vvnn  lspci-vvnn.log

It would also help to know any error messages from the -19 kernel. In
/boot/grub/menu.lst, you don't need to comment out the -19 kernel, just
change the default option (right at the top) from 0 (1st kernel in the
list) to probably something like 2, which should be the -18 kernel (3rd
in the list). Then try booting the -19 kernel without the quiet and
splash options, and tell us any error messages you see (taking a
screenshot with a digital camera, or even writing them down by hand and
typing them in here is also fine...

Thank you for your help

Ok, don't worry, it just means your giovanni account doesn't have 
administrative priviledges...
Now, the commands you just ran should have created 4 files in your home 
directory (uname-a.log, version.log, dmesg.log and lspci-vvnn.log). Can you 
attach them to this bug?

I would add that I cannot upgrade and I missed Synaptic.
Furthermore, Ubuntu hardy new kernel has seemingly destroyed my mic settings (I 
cannot use Skype any longer).
Long life to Mr. Windows?!?

2008-06-11 Thread Dimitrios Symeonidis
The system setup seems pretty normal:
Dual core Intel CPU, Intel ICH5 southbridge, AC97 audio, Ati Radeon graphics, 
Realtek 8139 ethernet.
The only suspicious item is the TI ACX111 wifi, which needs the acx100 driver.

A lot of bugs related to acx reported:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.searchtext=acxorderby=-datecreated
However, non seem serious enough to make a system unbootable.

Giovanni, your latest comment is not clear: do you mean that update
manager and synaptic package manager have disappeared from the system
menu?

Also, can you check if your wifi card works with the -18 kernel? What
about the microphone?

Finally, I am going to need you to try booting the -19 kernel (without
the 'quiet' and 'splash' options) and tell me the error messages of the
kernel log...

I confirm that Synaptic package disappeared from menu and I cannot
restore it.

I will try to reboot as -19 and I will revert to you.

Meanwhile thanks for your assistance.

2008-06-11 Thread Dimitrios Symeonidis
To me it seems that a lot of things went wrong during your last update.
There's something wrong with sudo...

First of all, run 'id' and see if your account is part of the 'admin'
group.

Also, try running: dpkg --configure -a
See if this fixes anything. 

You could also try:
sudo aptitude update (this will update your package list) and then
sudo aptitude full-upgrade

In the meantime, check if the -19 kernel is there: check if the file
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19 exists.

I am also a volunteer here...

I killed gksu - suggested by an italian expert on the forum. Maybe is this 
the reason for which I cannot see Synaptic?
I did full-upgrade and it worked fine.
In any case the new kernel really sucks...

Dear Giovanni, it seems your account is a very limited one; you are a member of 
only 2 groups.
Take for example the output of my 'id' command:
uid=1000(azimout) gid=1000(azimout) 
groups=4(adm),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(scanner),108(lpadmin),110(admin),115(netdev),117(powerdev),1000(azimout),1002(usrp)
You should at least add your account to the admin group, by running: 'sudo 
usermod -a -G admin giovanni'

I see that dpkg finished fine, so that was not the problem.

Can you run 'ls /boot  bootdir.log' and attach the resulting
bootdir.log file here? I'm curious about the installed kernels... What
would also be interesting is the contents of /lib/modules and
/lib/firmware

Dear Giovanni, we're going to need some more information in order to
identify and solve this bug.

1) Did you do a clean install of Hardy, or upgrade from an earlier version?
2) Can you boot with an Ubuntu LiveCD?
3) Where does the boot process stop? What error messages can you see?

Thank you for your help in making Ubuntu better.

3. At the beginning. I then rebooted manually, pressed ESC, chose the previous
