[Bug 945310] Re: Unable to mount audio disc
After submitting the bug, I began getting this error occasionally: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) This is the error reported in bug #597933. I tried applying the fix suggested here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1040653 which consists of adding libata, ata_piix, piix, and ide-generic to /etc/modules. Initially, this seemed to make the situation better, but it did not totally fix it. However, now I am back to where I started: The drive will work fairly well for a period of time (say, half a dozen discs). Then it will stop working completely with the above symptoms. At that point, restarting may or may not fix it. One additional point: The problems seem less likely to happen if I am not connected to a network while using the drive, and more likely to happen if I am connected via the wire. I don't know what to make of this, or whether it is a coincidence. More than happy to provide additional information if that would be helpful. Just let me know what, as I know precious little about this end of things.

[Bug 945310] Re: Unable to mount audio disc
One addition to my post #1: The fix at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1040653 does not eliminate the DBus error (for me, anyway). I have tried to rip a CD with Asunder as well, with the same result. So I presume that this is a system-level issue rather than a problem with SoundJuicer. Also, this would seem to be related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/591243. Except that the latest (now 1.5-year-old) updates have not fixed the problem for me, perhaps because I am using 10.04 64-bit, whereast the other reporter was using 32-bit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945310 Title: Unable to mount audio disc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/taglib-sharp/+bug/945310/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 945310] [NEW] Unable to mount audio disc
Public bug reported: Running kernel 2.6.32-38 in Ubuntu 10.04, I cannot reliably mount audio CDs on a USB CD/DVD drive. The hardware being used is an Asus SDRW-08D1S-U USB CD/DVD drive connected to a Lenovo Thinkpad X201. The same drive works perfectly in Ubuntu for data CDs and DVDs, and in Windows XP for everything. But with audio CDs in Ubuntu, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Typically it will try repeatedly to mount the disc, and fail. Various combinations of the following error dialogs pop up, one after another: --Unable to mount Audio Disc: Drive /dev/sr0 does not contain audio files --Unable to mount Audio Disc: Cannot find drive /dev/sr0 Sometimes the disc will appear to mount correctly (i.e., Audio Disc will appear on the desktop), then vanish when I start Sound Juicer.

[Bug 567016] Re: Wireless won't work on Lenovo Thinkpad T510 - rtl8192se
A quick report on my experience with kernel 2.6.32-26: First, installing this kernel version appeared to overwrite the Realtek- supplied driver (see #54 above, second-to-last paragraph), but the driver supplied with the kernel suffered from the same flaws as the driver supplied with 2.6.32-25. This was fixed by uninstalling and then reinstalling the package created with checkinstall, but the Realtek- supplied driver didn't work as well with kernel -26 as it did with -25: Didn't detect as many networks, signal not as strong, system freezes. I just set grub to boot to -25 by default, and this seems to fix the problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567016 Title: Wireless won't work on Lenovo Thinkpad T510 - rtl8192se -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 567016] Re: Wireless won't work on Lenovo Thinkpad T510 - rtl8192se
Just reporting back: Only problem in nine days was one random disconnect, so I consider my problem fixed... phew! @dmbfan2007: If you're still having problems, and you're using 32-bit, I would suggest trying the ndiswrapper route. It is fairly straightforward and easily reversible. 1. Download the Windows XP 32-bit drivers from Realtek's web site: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1PNid=21PFid=48Level=5Conn=4DownTypeID=3GetDown=false. 2. Install ndisgtk. At the command line, type sudo apt-get install ndisgtk (without the quotes, here and in what follows). 3. Add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules. At the command line, type gksudo gedit /etc/modules. This will bring up /etc/modules in the text editor. Add a line at the end with the single word ndiswrapper (no quotes). Save and quit. 4. Figure out what Linux driver you're using. At the command line, type lsmod | grep 819. You should see a line that says something like r8192se_pci 5121840, except in your case it will probably be r8191se_pci or something like that. 5. Blacklist the Linux driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. At the command line, type gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. Add a line at the end that says blacklist r8191se_pci (no quotes), replacing r8191se_pci with whatever driver you are using. 6. Follow the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper at 3.3 and 3.4.1 to extract the Windows driver from what you downloaded and install it using ndisgtk. 7. Restart, throwing salt over shoulder, knocking on wood, keeping fingers crossed, and the like. If it doesn't work, you can undo everything step by step: Uninstall the driver in ndisgtk, unblacklist the Linux driver by deleting the line in blacklist.conf, remove ndiswrapper from modules, and if you like uninstall ndiswrapper. After restarting, you should be back exactly where you are now. -- Wireless won't work on Lenovo Thinkpad T510 - rtl8192se https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 567016] Re: Wireless won't work on Lenovo Thinkpad T510 - rtl8192se
I've been continuing to try to find a workaround for this problem, and I thought I would share what I've tried, what hasn't worked, and what seems now to be working. First, I tried installing the lastest Linux driver from Realtek's site (v. 2.6.0018.1025.2010) following the readme included with the download. This involves manual installation using sudo make and sudo make install from the command line. This did not work, and using make uninstall broke my wireless completely. (Easy to see why if you look at the makefile: Both install and uninstall go all over the place rm -rfing things, and I consider myself lucky that all I broke was the wireless.) Finally got it working again, with the Lucid driver, by uninstalling and reinstalling the kernel in Synaptic, and manually copying the firmware files from the download to /lib/firmware/RTL8192SE. Random freezes, however, persisted. Second, I tried installing the WinXP driver (v. 1092.1.0802.2010) using ndisgtk. By blacklisting the Lucid kernel module (rtl8192se_pci) in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and including ndiswrapper in /etc/modules, I was able to get ndiswrapper to load and install the XP driver. But this didn't work at all, and sudo lshw -C Network showed that no driver was associated with the card. Searching /var/log/syslog for ndiswrapper showed that it was unable to load the XP driver because of a couple of unknown symbol errors. The Windows 7 driver produced a similar result. Basically, the Windows drivers appeared not to be compatible with ndiswrapper. I subsequently discovered that the 32-bit XP drivers may in fact work with ndiswrapper, but the 64-bit drivers (which is what I use) are known not to work. So you 32-bitters may be able to go this route, if necessary. Finally, I tried installing the Realtek Linux driver (version above) using the modified procedure of sudo make followed by sudo checkinstall. (Checkinstall packages the installation such that it can be removed later using Synaptic, if needed.) This worked, in that it did indeed install the new driver and it does now connect. I would also note that the signal strength in my small apartment is now shown as three or four bars, instead of one or two before. What I don't yet know is whether it fixed the biggest problem, which was the random OS freezes. I will report back once I have enough connects under my belt to get a sense of that. I still think, though, that this would benefit from a real solution. This card may be hated, but it is very common, and it is frequently installed on laptops (such as my Lenovo X201) with BIOS locks preventing the owner from installing other wireless cards. It is possible to hack the BIOS to get around this, but in doing so one runs the risk of bricking one's laptop, which I am not willing to do. -- Wireless won't work on Lenovo Thinkpad T510 - rtl8192se https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 567016] Re: Wireless won't work on Lenovo Thinkpad T510 - rtl8192se
Just adding my two cents here because I don't think this bug has been fixed. I have a Lenovo X201 (3249CTO) laptop with the Realtek 3172 (rev. 10) card. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 with the 2.6.32-25.45 generic kernel, and using the r8192se_pci kernel module and (per lspci) the rtl819xSE kernel driver in use. The only thing possibly nonstandard is that I am using the latest version of the firmware from Realtek's web site rather than the one that came with Lucid. I connect almost exclusively to G networks using WPA-PSK, but I connect manually as needed rather than having the computer set to connect automatically. On a good day, the computer will freeze on ~30% of connect attempts; on a bad day, it can be north of 50%. Additionally, once or twice a week it will freeze up out of the blue. In all of these cases, /var/log/syslog indicates that it froze while attempting to negotiate or renegotiate with the wireless network. Also, in all of these cases, it is a hard freeze requiring a power-off/power-on restart, but without a kernel panic. I'm happy to post syslog excerpts or provide any other information that may be useful. Just wish I could actually DO something to help with this, as it's very frustrating. Jobo P.S. Apologies if I stepped on anyone's toes by changing the status back to confirmed. Please advise re etiquette if that was not the right thing to do. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- Wireless won't work on Lenovo Thinkpad T510 - rtl8192se https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

One additional point: Once it connects, it works just fine, until/unless it eventually freezes out of the blue.
