[Bug 594248] Re: Installed a USB WiFi device dmesg reported: rtl819xU:request firmware fail!

2010-07-07 Thread Øystein Viggen
oyste...@hex:~$ lsusb | grep Realtek
Bus 002 Device 010: ID 0bda:8172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 

The test deb works for for associating to my 3Com 11n AP
(3CRWER300-73-ME), but fails to associate properly with my Linksys
WRT54GL 11g AP.

The binary from svn.debian.org (which can also be found at
http://people.debian.org/~benh/rtl-wlan/ ) works for me with both access
points, so it appears that getting a redistributable license also for
the proper SU firmware would be the superior solution.

[Bug 366177] Re: Bonding still broken for bnx2 in Jaunty

2010-05-12 Thread Øystein Viggen
With bnx2 interfaces on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit:

In a file called /etc/modprobe.d/ip-failover (that we put there
ourselves):

Does not work:
options bonding mode=6 miimon=100 downdelay=200 updelay=200 max_bonds=2

Works:
options bonding mode=1 miimon=100 downdelay=200 updelay=200 max_bonds=2

mode=6 works on Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit on the same hardware and RHEL 5.5
64-bit on the same hardware.

..so for people with this problem, swapping to mode=1 (active-backup)
should be a functional workaround if you just use bonding for redundancy
and don't really need the extra throughput from many interfaces.

(Where I work we have 52 fairly new DELL-servers that all use bnx2, so
I'll venture a guess that this network controller is fairly common).

2010-04-27 Thread Øystein Viggen
The suggested workaround (ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off) works for me too,
but means the network is running at 10Mbps half duplex.  (Forcing it to
10baseT-HD with mii-tool also works with the same effect).

Network worked perfectly in Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10.  I know Realtek NICs
generally suck, but since it worked before, I have high hopes that it
can work again :)

[Bug 376802] Re: memory leak in something

2009-08-16 Thread Øystein Viggen
Rolled some updated packages of version 185.18.31 locally today.  (the
helper macros in debian/rules makes this surprisingly easy, by the way).
After a few hours of playing, Xorg now has 1496 MB virtual and 893 MB
resident, so using the latest driver doesn't seem to have helped.

[Bug 376802] Re: memory leak in something

2009-07-10 Thread Øystein Viggen
I have the same problem with the Xorg process increasing in size.  When
I first log in, the process has some 650m virtual, and 53m resident, all
as expected with 512m video ram.  During use, and especially while
playing Anarchy Online under Cedega, Xorg grows in size, and does not
shrink after the game is stopped.  I'm running 64 bit ubuntu, so X
doesn't crash or anything, but after a few days it will start to swap
out a lot of the Xorg process.  With 4 GB system RAM, the Xorg process
tends to stabilize at 2.1g resident, the rest seemingly flowing into
swap.  I think the most I've been at is some 8g swap used, which seemed
to be mostly the Xorg process.

Restarting X seems to free all the leaked memory, but is not very
convenient..

I've installed the updated packages from 2009-06-26, but that doesn't
seem to help much.  Right now, after a few hours of playing, and then
stopping the game, Xorg is at 1768m VIRT and 1.1g RES.

Non-standard packages installed:
nvidia-180-kernel-source_185.18.14-0ubuntu1~xup~1~jaunty_amd64.deb
nvidia-180-libvdpau_185.18.14-0ubuntu1~xup~1~jaunty_amd64.deb

[Bug 339046] Re: Wireless WPA key corrupted

While I did see this problem when trying to connect to the AP at my
parents' house, I had no problem connecting to my (WRT54GL w/ openWRT)
AP when I got back home.  Still works after using seahorse to delete the
WPA password and then reentering it.

Unless some update in the past two days fixed it (unlikely) it seems to
me this issue only presents itself with certain APs.

(I've previously used Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 with the same AP I couldn't
get working with jaunty prerelease, and I'm certain it hasn't been
reconfigured in the mean time).

[Bug 144200] Re: Udev is looping, retrying the same operation

2007-10-05 Thread Øystein Viggen
I suppose some debconf question/warning and an /etc/default/evms could
be an easy solution to this intended behaviour.  A simple package
install breaking booting by default sounds harmful.

A better solution might be to expand evms to have a look in /etc/fstab
to figure out which devices it should stay away from and which it can
"claim", a lot like how NetworkManager checks /etc/network/interfaces to
see which network interfaces to control.  This could be a suggestion for
upstream, if there still is one..

Having learned not to install evms unless I'm going to use it, I no
longer care deeply about this issue :)

2007-10-04 Thread Øystein Viggen
I reinstalled evms-2.5.5-26ubuntu1 to see if my system would behave
better now.  I'd say it was worse, as this made my system crash to a
shell during boot, when trying to fsck the filesystem used for /home.

Hitting ctrl-d made the system boot (but with no /home) to a state where
I could uninstall evms.  This restored functional booting again.

Screenshot attached.  The hard-to-read part under the orange reflection
is "/dev/sda6".

Removed the following packages:

Problem all gone.

I think upgrade process said it would remove evms after the upgrade.
The fact that this wasn't done is probably either a bug in the upgrade
package, intentional since we're still in pre-release, or just me having
finger troubles.

[Bug 144200] Udev is looping, retrying the same operation

2007-09-23 Thread Øystein Viggen
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: udev

After upgrading from Ubuntu 7.04 to Gutsy, the kernel log spams the
following message on boot:

[  169.58] device-mapper: table: 254:0: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup 
failed
[  169.58] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
[  169.58] device-mapper: table: 254:0: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup 
failed
[  169.58] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

While this is happening, udev is using lots of CPU.  Killing udev makes
the kernel stop generating the message, and obviously stops udev from
hogging the CPU.

Kernel is linux-image-generic_2.6.22.12.14_i386.deb, udev is
udev_113-0ubuntu9_i386.deb.  Computer is an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T42.

[Bug 84675] System not booting after upgrade from edgy to feisty (2006-02-11)

2007-02-12 Thread Øystein Viggen
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

Version: 0.85eubuntu2
Kernel: 2.6.20-6-386
Command line: root=/dev/md0 ro quiet splash

After upgrading from edgy (update-manager -c -d), a system reboot would
drop me to a shell in the initramfs.  It seemed that the system did not
detect my (pata) hard drives on boot.  As such, this might be a bug in
the hardware detection instead of initramfs-tools.  I leave that for the
maintainers to decide.

Fix for the problem was to add two lines to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and 
run update-initramfs:
via82cxxx
ide-disk

lspci has the following to say about the hard disk controller:
00:0f.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. 
VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06)

I guess loading a pata_* type driver would be more correct than my
via82cxxx, but I could not figure out which one to use.  The system
figuring this out for me would of course be ideal.
