[Bug 1159414] Re: [radeon] Xorg freeze - GPU lockup; doesn't occur with mainline kernel 3.8.0-030800rc3-generic or v3.9-rc4

2013-07-30 Thread Andrew Seyes
No I dont need a backport because I circumvent the problem by using my custom 
3.9 kernel.
Will upgrade to Saucy as I now know its resolved with that.
Please go ahead and close this bug report.

Just tested out using the latest Saucy image and I am not able to reproduce 
this problem.  
Looks like its fixed in Saucy.

[Bug 1159414] Re: Xorg freeze - GPU lockup

2013-04-01 Thread Andrew Seyes
I have built a kernel from the upstream mainlinekernel  following this
doc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild

The kernel was version 3.9-rc4.

Booting in to this v3.9 kernel has solved my problem.

Looks like there were a lot of commits in the drivers/gpu/drm/radeon
area going from v3.8-rc7 to the v3.9-rc4 kernel, including these three
commits against the radeon r6xx driver:

ca57802 drm/radeon: halt engines before disabling MC (6xx/7xx)
f13f773 drm/radeon: use status regs to determine what to reset (6xx/7xx)
d3cb781 drm/radeon: rework GPU reset on r6xx/r7xx

I shall keep using my v3.9 custom kernel until the v3.9 kernel is
adopted by raring.

[Bug 1159414] [NEW] Xorg freeze - GPU lockup

2013-03-24 Thread Andrew Seyes
Public bug reported:

The following GPU lokcup occurs when I boot ubuntu 13.04:
[   47.900046] radeon :01:00.0: GPU lockup CP stall for more than 1msec
[   47.900053] radeon :01:00.0: GPU lockup (waiting for 0x0003 
last fence id 0x0001)

I switched to the Mainline kernels as per the Wiki and found I can run
kernel 3.8.0-030800rc3-generic with no problems, but any attempt to run
a later version of the kernel results in the lockup shown above.

Have just applied the latest updates to my system whcih brought in
kernel 3.8.0.14 but I still get the same problem with that.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Wireless print server or wireless printer

2011-01-09 Thread Andrew Seyes
Hi Rob,


 What I'd like to do to make things simple for the staff is to get either a 
 wireless printer or a wireless print server with a USB port so that these two 
 laptops can print to it.


You might want to take a look at the Epson Stylus SX425W [1]. Its a
wireless/usb printer/scanner/copier and if you look around you can
find it for about £50 [2]. The replacement ink cartridges are quite
cheap too - about £10. There are linux drivers available aswell [3].
My Dad did a lot of research when his last printer went phut and he
decided to get one of these. It was simple enough to install those
drivers and we found and it works nicely with lucid in either usb or
wireless mode.

Regards,
Andrew

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Flash problems in 10.04

2010-09-07 Thread Andrew Seyes
 As an aside to this - both my machines now only have Ubuntu on them, so
 I don't have the GRUB screen when I start up. But what if I want to load
 an old kernel (following update problems)? How can I do that?


Just done this myself recently, It appears that by default, grub2 will
not display the menu on single os computers. To permanently reveal the
grub2 menu at boot time you have to edit /etc/default/grub as root,
and comment out the line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0, then run
update-grub. On the next reboot you should see the grub menu again.
Lots of details on grub2 are in [1] below - search for
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 on that page for the bit that explains how to
reveal the menu.

If you dont fancy making a permanent change you can (according to [1])
just hold down the shift key as the computer boots to reveal the menu.
Not tried that myself though.

Regards,
Andrew

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Nvidia Settings (was Media Centre Advice)

2010-05-21 Thread Andrew Seyes
Hello,

I installed 10.04 on my revo and I too struggled to get any sound via
HDMI which refused stubbornly to work despite my best efforts. Finally
I gave up and completed the install by activating the nvidia graphics
driver. After a reboot I was surprised to find that sound just started
working via HDMI. I dont think I made any other changes, so I think it
was just activating that nvidia driver that did the trick for me.

I was following the install guides on greenhughes.com [1] (which
mentions un-muting a channel via alsamixer which I did too) and popeys
guide [2] (adapting it for lucid as I went along).

Cheers
Andrew

Re: [ubuntu-uk] How to edit Policykit

2009-12-31 Thread Andrew Seyes
Hi Philip,

I too had the problem with shutdown warning other uses were logged in,
and prompting for a password. I tracked this down to having installed
mythtv on my laptop. I removed it (I was only testing it out anyway)
and the problem disappeared. It looks like there is a bug reported
against mythtv [1] for this - with a work around described in comment
#17. Might try that myself if I put mythtv back on my laptop.

If you dont have mythtv installed, then it looks like others with a
similar problem [2] have found out (comment #12) which policies to
edit [3]. Not tried this myself as I dont have the problem anymore.

Andrew

 Hi,

 How do I edit policykit so that it stops asking for a password on
 shutdown? When I try and shutdown my machine, a dialog pops up saying
 that the current policy does not allow shutting down the machine while
 other users are logged in, and requires an admin password to continue.
 I believe this makes little sense on a desktop system, and would like
 to stop this from happening. All I can find out is that it is
 Policykit, but I cant find any way of editing it.

 Andrew  Thanks for this.  It looks as though it's about Thunderbird
 logging how it's processing mail via the standard protocols (you select
 the ones you want to monitor).

 My problem is that Thunderbird itself is becoming unresponsive from time
 to time (the dreaded darkened window!), and I'm having to do a 'Force
 quit' and restart.  I can't see anything in the system logs;  and I
 wondered if there's a log that monitoring Thunderbird itself, rather
 than just the mail processing.

 Or have I got this entirely wrong, and the log you mention is what I need?

 mac


Hi mac,

I had a problem with similar symptoms to those you describe and this
was the only way I could get any log output out of thunderbird to
figure out way was going on. As you say it does not appear to log
anywhere else - I couldnt find anything in the usual places either.

My problem turned out to be down to my firewall blocking thunderbird,
so things worked fine when I was inside the firewall and failed in a
similar way to the one you described when I was outside it. From the
log I spotted thunderbird was never getting a response to its login
request, which led me back to check the firewall and fix it.

Cheers,
Andrew
