about _my_ WiFi H/W (excerpted and slightly redacted because I have not
checked the complete notes/logs for sensitive information).  Abbreviated

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1869062] Re: Acer Aspire 7715 microphone not detected

2020-03-25 Thread Brian Foster
NOTE:  I am NOT the originator of this bug report,
   but have a similar(? identical?) problem.

My machine is an Acer Aspire E17 E5-722-425Q,
and the built-in microphone (and also the mouse pad)
has never(?) been detected.  (Since I use a USB mouse
and a USB headset-with-microphone, neither problem has
ever bothered me in the slightest.)

Sometimes, the built-in WiFi is not detected (as is the
case at the moment), and, usually, the built-in Bluetooth
is not detected (also the case at the moment).  However,
I *have* observed that, at least in the case of the WiFi
(the Bluetooth is not-so-clear) it seems to be related
to the temperature (especially the external (ambient,
i.e., room temperature)).

Whilst no measurements have been made, if the ambient
temperature is sufficiently cool (cold, actually, PROBABLY
less than 10 degrees Celsius (estimated)), the WiFi is
frequently detected.  When it is warm, it is much more
hit-and-miss.  (There are some circumstantial reasons to
think, for both the WiFi and Bluetooth (both are USB),
that if there certain unclear external USB devices are also
attached when the system is booted, than one or both is
detected.  Apologies for being quite vague here, I have
never tried to confirm or characterise this incidental
observation.)

Attached is the RAW report generated by apport-cli(1);
I do not know how to automagically append it to a bug
which I did not originally create.  However, please
note that, at the moment, neither the built-in USB WiFi
nor the built-in USB Bluetooth is currently detected
(and the ambient temperature is currently quite warm).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1841040] Re: r8169 ethernet sometimes doesn't work after cold boot/boot

2020-01-14 Thread Brian Foster
Make sure your unit really is an r8169, and not an r8168.
Whilst (as I understand it) the  r8169 module is supposed
to work with an r8168, at least on my laptop (Acer Aspire E17
(E5-722-425Q), currently 18.04 (up-to-date)),
using the r8169 module has resulted in "flakely" behaviour
for as long as I can remember, including becoming unusable
after a (some?) warm reboot.
(Sorry, I cannot recall any specific details,
albeit I vaguely recall that was not the only problem I had.)
Using the r8168 dkms module, there has not been any(?) problems.
However, I believe the r8168 module (in package `r8168-dkms') is
specific to r8168 hardware and will not work with an r8169 unit.

Using `lspci' my r8168 is listed as:

   Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12)

Title:
  r8169 ethernet sometimes doesn't work after cold boot/boot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Whenever the computer is rebooted there is a roughly 50% chance that
  the r8169 ethernet cannot negotiate a link. There is no relevant
  information in dmesg except for the "link down" message. The work
  around is to just keep rebooting the computer until it eventually
  works; sometimes this may take up to 7 reboots.

  The first set of attached log files were generated while the ethernet
  was working.

  The second set are generated on the 5.0 HWE kernel when the ethernet
  was NOT working.

  Note that this is a regression. Ubuntu 16.04 ran on this computer for
  three years without the ethernet doing this even once.

  Unloading and loading the r8169 module will eventually make it work.
