[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1482892] Re: Kernel PANIC often when turning WiFi off

2015-08-10 Thread Joseph Salisbury
Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade?  Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.2 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'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as
"Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1482892] Re: Kernel PANIC often when turning WiFi off

2015-08-19 Thread Páll Haraldsson
This just happened again, and I believe I was running the latest
(Ubuntu) kernel. No, not the upstream one.. It just seemed too much
work.. and wouldn't prove anything if I can't get Ubuntu to freeze as
that doesn't always happen.. I guess I really should get around to this
as if it would happen again it would at least prove, not fixed upstream.
The cause might however be in bcmwl (or an interaction between it in the
kernel). I think the former here is *it*:

lsmod |grep wl
wl   6369280  0 
cfg80211  540672  1 wl

Installed files" of bcmwl has no .ko but have files such as a Makefile:

/usr/src/bcmwl-6.30.223.248+bdcom/patches/0015-add-support-for-
Linux-3.18.patch

[then this is a build a .ko, right? Do I need then linux-sources, I
believe I don't and haven't had it installed in the past but I have it
installed now, may have done that at some point, myself.. It hasn't been
updated in a while, is at 3.19.0.17.16. I'm trying to learn thing so I
could maybe be more helful in the future and/or not send bugus report if
this one is it..]


What I'm running now:

uname -a
Linux Ryksugan 3.19.0-27-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 14 21:43:37 UTC 2015 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


In case I forgot to restart after last kernel upgrade (I have Ksplice, but ages 
ago, it seemed to just stop working), then I would have been running 
/boot/initrd.img-3.19.0-26-generic

Might only have worked pre-Nov 2014. It's just not something I had to do
very often (or decided to try, to turn WiFi off, but it should always be
safe). Possibly this might be even older and I just didn't try to
trigger it.


Very probably this might have to do with this,  (and could very well has 
started around 3.17/3.18 timeframe):

marked with a star those I've not run in ages, just didn't clean up in
case this doesn't resolve on day. The oldest or next oldest, I think
worked at some point(I had more, but had to free space on /boot and
deleted rarely used ones).

that one may have happened only ones or twice, but might be related?

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1482892] Re: Kernel PANIC often when turning WiFi off, on current 3.19.0-27-generic (see text, my be one older), happened before on previous kernel, and one or two, probably mor

2017-03-02 Thread Shawn Pringle
Here I am in 2017, and it seems to be a regression bug.  A bug that has
come back, or perhaps it was never fixed and the user who reported it
fixed, did so because it went from always crashing to intermittent
crashing.  A user will learn not to turn off wifi and the panics stops
but the bug lurks away.  I am using an Exomate and not only does it
panic when turning off wifi but on startup it panics intermittently
whenever you use a USB device you left plugged into it or plug in a USB
device.  After many power cycles and with periods of remaining off, the
perpetual panics abate but I know not to turn off wifi now.

As a user, I am getting similar symptoms.  Although the cause may not be
same, people are going to go there first when they search, so am linking
to here from there.

This is a cheap netbook for Students.  Free for Students in Argentina
and their teachers.  The hardware is from a similar year.

There are hot keys combinations that do various things using a special
'fn' key you use in conjunction with keys f1 through f10. One is
(Fn+F2).  If I use the GUI or Fn+F2 to turn off wifi, it kernel panics.
