Gnome Shell closed the report submitted by Evgeny saying it's an Ubuntu 
downstream feature.
The duplicate bug 1852860 looks now like a more suitable candidate for tracking 
at it is assigned to the proper project (?).

I think this is the corresponding upstream bug, which has been fixed.

Note that the workaround suggested in the corresponding OpenSUSE bug mentioned

Create file named /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mydevice.conf  containing
[CODE]
Section Device

  Identifier Default Device

  Driver mach64

EndSection
[/CODE]

But it would be best to get this fixed in the code...

[Bug 1006765] Re: Hot plugging USB3.0 express card Not possible

2012-07-17 Thread François Rey
I'm pretty sure the latest nec/renesas firmware released in june/july 2012 
fixes part of this bug. Since I upgraded the firmware of my NEC/Renesas cards, 
I can now observe hot-plugging functionality *only* for connected usb devices, 
but not for the usb3 expresscard. I did not test just before the firmware 
upgrade, so it's quite possible an ubuntu update has helped, but it's unlikely. 
I have yet to verify if the card still need to be inserted at boot time in 
order to be recognized, but for sure removing the card and reinserting it makes 
it not work afterward.
The first expresscard  I have is a StarTech ECUSB3S254F which contains a 
Renesas uPD720200. I just upgraded its firmware to version 3.0.3.4. I had to do 
this under Windows 7.
The other expresscard is very similar to the above but without specific brand 
name. It contains a Renesas uPD720202(Revision 2). I just upgraded its firmware 
to version 2.0.1.3, also using Windows, but I think linux command line utility 
is available for this chip.
Firmware upgrade are available at:
http://www.station-drivers.com/page/renesas.htm
Some useful info on the upgrade process may be found there:

2012-01-04 Thread François Rey
Could you check your syslog and see if you have any messages related to
usb?

I'm also experiencing weird USB failures. I think it's the upgrade to kernel 
3.0.0-14.23 that triggered these problems for me.
Although my problem is not directly related to this bug (usb printer scanner 
not recognized) it comes out as another instance of usb issue that is difficult 
to diagnose, and related to linux only because all works fine on windows.
For me the linux kernel has some major issues with usb, and it's been a while 
it has them. Once I could not even use ubuntu and had to switch to another 
distro.

The image you attached is of the client, what we need is a gui for the server 
to initiate a reverse connection.
In other words: a way for grandma to click somewhere and say connect to my 
grandson ;)
I suppose that would mean some new menu option that opens a gui which lets the 
user start a reverse connection. Might as well add a list of shortcuts in that 
gui so that grandma does not have to type the address of her grandson's 
computer all the time.

Yes we would need something like you said, or more like the x11vnc way:
vino  -connect  test.dyndns.net:5500

At least we need a command line, so we can easily add a shortcut menu item.
But for grandma a gui in the line of what vino/vinagre provides would be best.
The idea is to make it as easy as possible, and why not make it work on a 
livecd as suggested before so that we can even provide support when the machine 
disk can't boot!

[Bug 383722] [NEW] many reset USB device using ehci_hcd, keyboard mouse unusable

2009-06-04 Thread François Rey
Public bug reported:

I have been experiencing this bug several times in the last couple years. The 
most visible sign is the keyboard freezing, key presses are lost, or often 
bounce like this as if the key up event is not registered. Bouncing happens 
until another key is pressed.
I had this bug on another laptop a couple years ago and I did not migrate to 
Linux because of that.
I has it last week on a newer laptop (Asus U6s) with Kubuntu 9.04 64 bit Live 
CD (same bug if installed).
The key characteristic of this bug is the high number of usb reset messages on 
the dmesg log:
[  134.708244] usb 2-2.3: reset low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 
8
[  136.344233] usb 2-2.3: reset low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 
8
[  137.976237] usb 2-2.3: reset low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 
8
[  139.640240] usb 2-2.3: reset low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 
8
[  141.328239] usb 2-2.3: reset low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 
8

I have reported this on bug 91230 and bug 124406. While discussing with
Rolf Leggewie and Leann Ogasawara, it's been agreed to open a new report
despite the various duplicates, so that a clean starting point can be
given to developers.

To better document this bug I prepared a test script for data
collection. I used the Kubuntu 9.04 live CD and ran this script with
different scenario (different ways to connect usb devices). While the
script was running, I kept typing on the external keyboard and kept
moving the mouse. The script includes usage of an external usb hard disk
and usb audio. Between each single run, I did a cold boot of the
machine, starting it only after devices were properly plugged in (I did
not unplug any device during testing).

Test script and data collected are attached to this report in a single
archive.

I have run the script 4 times:
01-kb-mouse-alone-on-separate-hub
02-mouse-hd-on-same-hub
03-kb-hd-on-same-hub
04-kb-mouse-hd-on-same-hub

Only scenario 3 and 4 reproduced the bug.
After experiencing this bug last week I removed Kubuntu from my linux partition 
in I'm in the process of installing Arch. So further testing on my side will be 
either from the live CD or from arch linux.

Many similar issues have been reported on the net for various distro, here are 
a few:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91230
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-us...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg18199.html
http://taint.org/2006/12/13/191554a.html
http://bugs.gentoo.org/177266
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11159
...
There's plenty more if you search the net with these keywords: reset speed USB 
device using ehci_hcd.

Sometimes these report involve mass storage devices which may indicate a
different bug but that's not necessarily true. What usually happens is
that these problems do not occur when running a non-linux OS (as in my
case). The most common workaround is to switch devices to other
ports/hub. In my case I had to move mouse and keyboard by themselves on
a separate hub. This makes me advance the theory that it's possibly
related to devices with different speed connected on the same hub. It's
not specific to ubuntu, and it's been there for at least a couple years
(see bug 91230).

Alan Stern just submitted a patch that could resolve this issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11159
However I am unable to test this at present.

I can understand the messiness of this thread, but this is a messy bug,
and that's no reason close it. A developer who wants to work on this bug
can find many entry points to start with. For example Rolf Leggewie has
show lately an interesting case of this bug on a usb 1.1 machine, and
he's experienced in dealing with kernel bugs (unlike me).

Anyway, I've been encouraging kernel developers to look at this bug there:

[Bug 124406] Re: Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy)

2009-06-03 Thread François Rey
Rolf, Leann,

I see your point and understand the need for precision, and I do
appreciate the time you're spending on this. Bug 124406 started with
something that is probably related to xorg, and quickly got mingled with
the usb reset issue, which is what I struggled with until I rearranged
my usb connections. I originally posted my report against bug 91230, but
when I saw 124406 so active I jumped on the wagon here, not having read
in detail its whole history.

I'll have to rearrange a few things in my cabling in order to reproduce
the bug on my side. Not to mention the fact that I removed Kubuntu 9.04
and launched myself in installing Arch instead (also because it gives me
an opportunity to learn more). So reverting to Kubuntu will hold me back
again and I'd like to get going with other things. In other words, I'm
not sure I'm the best person to file a new bug, unless you don't mind my
arch kernel.

However, instead of another bug report, how about continuing on the one I 
initially reported against:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91230
It's where I initially posted my dmesg, lsusb, lspci, and uname output, other 
people have done so. That bug specifically talks about resets in the title so 
there's little chance for confusion. It's not too big either, while still 
showing the historical aspect across different kernel. So to keep the action 
going I would continue with 91230 and not wait for a new one.

Whatever happens make a posting here to let us know where to go.

[Bug 124406] Re: Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy)

2009-06-02 Thread François Rey
Rolf,

We all know it's not specific to ubuntu, there's plenty of comments and
links in this long thread pointing to the same issue on other distro.
However this thread is probably the most active in discussing this
issue. I guess that's the price for success ;) and the fact that there
are a lot of people having this issue.

Regarding usb speed theory, maybe it's an issue between low and full
speed usb (both handled by usb 1.1 while high speed is usb 2.0). So
perhaps it would be interesting to test on your x24 various combination
of low and full speed usb devices. Bear in mind however that once this
bug happens, it seems to be sticky meaning there are times it happens
even after the mouse/keyboard have been disconnected. So it's best to
try each config after a cold boot.

See http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/ehci.txt for info on usb 
in linux kernel. Interesting part:
Note that USB 2.0 support involves more than just EHCI.  It requires other 
changes to the Linux-USB core APIs, including the hub driver, but those changes 
haven't needed to really change the basic usbcore APIs exposed to USB device 
drivers.

So it could be that this bug has been introduced since the addition of
ehci, and is affecting usb1.1 as a result of the changes made to
accomodate ehci.

[Bug 124406] Re: Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy)

2009-06-01 Thread François Rey
Actually I have another theory: the bug happens when a low speed usb
device is connected on the same hub as a high speed device. That's just
a theory, but so far I have connected my mouse and keyboard on the same
hub, with no other device on it, and I have not had the problem yet.
Crossing my fingers though...

[Bug 124406] Re: Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy)

2009-05-30 Thread François Rey
Following BobRoss suggestion I tried another live CD. Because I saw less
reports of this problem on the Arch distro, I went ahead and tried
Chakra Linux alpha2 live CD, a distro derived from Arch. I was able to
reproduce the bug right from start, but I only noticed it when looking
at the kernel log (dmesg). That's because in spite of all the usb
resets, the keyboard remained steady and I could type without
difficulty. The mouse pointer was at times unsteady but still usable and
much less jerky than on Kubuntu. So I could imagine this bug being less
noticeable on arch.

Running the chakra alpha2 live CD and playing around, I have seen some
instances of the keyboard alone being reset after the mouse was
disconnected, but mostly it's the mouse that triggers the problem and
gets reset. Doing a tail-f on /var/log/kernel.log, I could notice there
was no reset when not using the computer. As soon as I move the mouse
(doesn't matter if it's with the touchpad or the external mouse), I see
resets returning. Keyboard activity also triggers resets but it's a lot
less obvious. I tried several mice from several brands, but they're all
the same.

I'm not sure which piece of hardware is involved in creating this bug,
definitely a combination of various factors. If as Sardar suggests it's
possible to systematically reproduce the bug on one piece of hardware,
then tracking this bug down may get easier. Included in a tgz file are
output from uname -a, dmesg, lspci -vv and lsusb -vv.

[Bug 124406] Re: Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy)

2009-05-29 Thread François Rey
I have experienced the problem again even though the mouse was connected
directly to the laptop. The root of the problem is very elusive. I
really don't want to buy another hardware, that's not the solution at
all. As far as I am concerned, the only option I have left is to try
another linux distribution and hope for the best. But this issue is
found on other distro too... so maybe I should just give up with Linux.

Possible duplicates on the web that may yield interesting information:

This bug is a real linux killer...

[Bug 91230] Re: keyboard+mouse unusable, low speed USB device reset continiously

2009-05-27 Thread François Rey
Ok I've been trying several things and here is what I can say:
- this problem is not related to keyboard and mouse connected to the same 
external usb hub, since I had it with the mouse only
- this problem happens only on one of my hub: D-link DUB-H7  ports USB 2 hub. 
I've got another 4 port hub and it does not happen on it
- I've found many other related bus/posts, the most interesting are:
  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124406 : most likely a duplicate, very 
active since jaunty!
  - 
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-us...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg18199.html 
: interesting message from an old active thread
So since the first of these links goes to an active and mostly duplicate bug 
report, I'm switching to that one from now on.
In any case I attach my outputs here too.

[Bug 124406] Re: Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy)

2009-05-27 Thread François Rey
I also have it on Kubuntu 9.04 amd64 with kernel 2.6.29. My most interesting 
facts are:
- I had this bounce key pb when installing from kubuntu 9.04 live CD! I had to 
restart with my mouse connected to the laptop to continue
- it only happens on my 7 ports D-link usb hub (DUB-H7), not on my hama 4 port 
hub
- does not happen on windows xp with same setup
- see outpuf of dmesg, lspci, lsusb, and uname in attached tgz

I really would like to see this bug getting a high priority:
- it's a widespread issue for several linux distributions and somehow Jaunty 
seems particularly affected
- it's a long standing issue (duplicate bug 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91230 is 2 years old, reported on 6.10)
- the loss of keyboard and mouse is a serious showstopper for anyone trying 
linux especially when it happens during install

Please help!

I'm no kernel developer but I've been browsing a bit and here is the most 
interesting discussion I found:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-us...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg18199.html

It basically says: --quote-- If I start with FC4's kernel configuration, and a
vanilla kernel, the mouse works correctly.  If I then turn on kernel
preemption, and set HZ=1000, the problem comes up.  Neither of those
settings, by themselves, seem to trigger the problem. -- unquote--

Duplicate bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91230 may yield
interesting information too. I any case, I'm pretty sure it's a tough
longstanding kernel bug, so whoever gets to fix it will get kudos from
many people and will help linux getting further (that bug already kept
me away from migrating to Kubuntu a couple years ago).

[Bug 91230] Re: keyboard+mouse unusable, low speed USB device reset continiously

2009-05-26 Thread François Rey
I would like to reactivate this bug and make it a higher priority. Not only 
it's affecting me on Kubuntu 9.04 64bits but:
- there are numerous reports of this issue on the net (just look on google for 
ubuntu bouncing or repeating key),
- it's a long standing issue (this bug is 2 years old, reported on 6.10, and I 
have it on kubuntu 9.04 64bits)
- the loss of keyboard and mouse is a serious showstopper for anyone trying 
linux especially when it happens during install
That bug already kept me away from migrating to Kubuntu a while ago (and on a 
different machine btw).
I don't have a KVM switch but my Logitech wireless mouse is connected on a usb 
hub on which I also have my keyboard, so I guess my setup is similar to a KVM. 
I noticed the problem went away when unplugging the mouse and connecting it 
directly, and that's what I had to do in order to install Kubuntu 9.04 64bit on 
my Asus U6S laptop. Next I'll try to have them both on 2 separate hubs, and see 
if it only happens when kb+mouse are on the same hub.

I'm not sure what the status of this bug is but I hope I'll get some support, I 
really would like to get going with this and no longer have to boot xp...
I'll reboot on kubuntu now and get these output for you:
dmesg
lspci -vv
lspci -vvn
lsusb -vv
