[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1292870] Re: WiFi sometimes connects, sometimes doesn't, sometimes stops, Kernel bug

2014-04-30 Thread Tim Passingham
The recent xubuntu 14.04 release has made it much easier to install new
kernels on ageing Pentium Ms, which say they don't support PAE but in
fact do so without problem.  An additional boot parameter (forcepae)
gets one going.  I discovered that it was in principle possible to do
this on 12.10 to 13.10 using an application add-in, but it was a little
more complex to do so.  The better support in 14.04 makes it all much
easier.

So I have now moved on to the latest kernel (and 14.04).  After several
days I've had no problems, so I've changed the status of this bug to
'fixed released'.

Title:
  WiFi sometimes connects, sometimes doesn't, sometimes stops, Kernel
  bug

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I am using an old Sony TR1MP 32bit laptop, ubuntu 12.04 (the system is
  not supported by later ubuntu versions).

  I use a Micronet wireless USB dongle since the inbuilt wifi is very
  slow, and is disabled by blacklisting it.  The dongle shows if it is
  working since it flashes blue when it does.

  Lately the wifi connection often fails at boot, with the system not
  attempting to connect (the dongles does not light up).  Sometimes it
  works, and then drops out later.  Sometimes it reconnects by itself,
  sometimes not.  Sometimes removing the dongle, waiting and then
  reinserting it works, sometimes not.

  Looking at syslog, I see the attached Kernel errors when the
  connection fails.  The problem seems to have got worse recently.  The
  wifi has always been a little unstable, but is now nearly unusable.

  I will gladly supply more information if someone can tell me precisely what 
is needed.  I'm not an expert at linux, but not totally useless at it either.

I found out how to add a tag, and have now done as requested.

It wasn't very obvious being beneath the original comment rather than
nearer the top, and required an inquisitive click on the yellow symbol.

2014-03-17 Thread Joseph Salisbury
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.14 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, 
please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as 
Confirmed.


Thanks in advance.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1292870] Re: WiFi sometimes connects, sometimes doesn't, sometimes stops, Kernel bug

2014-03-17 Thread Tim Passingham
I can't run anything newer than 12.04 because support for my CPU has
been withdrawn.  It doesn' t have the Physical Address Extension feature
(PAE) required.

The laptop will never have anything like the memory required to exceed
the addressing limit, but ubuntu in their wisdom have decided that
doesn't matter, and so 12.04 is as new as I can go.

How to I add 'a tag'?  I would if I could, but I don't see any obvious
way to do that.

This problem has got considerably worse with the more recent kernel
updates for precise.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1292870] Re: WiFi sometimes connects, sometimes doesn't, sometimes stops, Kernel bug

2014-03-16 Thread John Kim
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We need some more information from you before we can
start working on this bug.

Please run the following command which will attach necessary
information:

apport-collect BUGNUMBER
if you are using Karmic Koala (9.10) or newer, or

apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` BUGNUMBER
if you are using Hardy Heron (8.04)

Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib
package from the universe repository with 'sudo apt-get install python-
launchpadlib'. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect
permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability
to Change Non-Private data as it will be adding information to your
bug report.

If you are using an older release or cannot use apport please at least add the 
following information (pay attention to lspci's additional options):
First run the following commands:
1) uname -a  uname-a.log
2) dmesg  dmesg.log
3) sudo lspci -vvnn  lspci-vvnn.log
4) cat /proc/version_signature  version.log
then attach the files separately to the bug report (not pasted into comments or 
tar/zip-ed).

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-
related bug reports is available at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies. Thanks in
advance!

  I am using an old Sony TR1MP 32bit laptop, ubuntu 12.04 (the system is
  not supported by later ubuntu versions).
  
  I use a Micronet wireless USB dongle since the inbuilt wifi is very
  slow, and is disabled by blacklisting it.  The dongle shows if it is
  working since it flashes blue when it does.
  
  Lately the wifi connection often fails at boot, with the system not
  attempting to connect (the dongles does not light up).  Sometimes it
  works, and then drops out later.  Sometimes it reconnects by itself,
  sometimes not.  Sometimes removing the dongle, waiting and then
  reinserting it works, sometimes not.
  
  Looking at syslog, I see the attached Kernel errors when the connection
  fails.  The problem seems to have got worse recently.  The wifi has
  always been a little unstable, but is now nearly unusable.
