what has been changed?

I installed fresh lubuntu 23.10 and appended all updates, then created a
new user and logged in this one.

screensaver is gl-matrix for this new user and it's still hogging the
CPU when in a VM

it`s not about documentation of nvidia cards and it`s not on working on

[Bug 1337844] Re: connection to xrdp-server using sessman-x11rdp fails

2014-11-01 Thread roland aus köln
apparently , the xrdp package is missing an installation depency to
x11rdp - and that´s probably because of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=469754

i think what needs being fixed is the xrdp.ini, as it contains ini
configuration for something which simply isn`t there.

ditch xrdp and use https://github.com/scarygliders/X11RDP-o-Matic
instead. works like a charm for me (needs some time for compile, though)

No, it shouldn`t.

If booted via syslinux and adding forcepae as a bootparam, it should
boot - regardless if being botted via grub 16-bit mode or via syslinux
or whatever.

could you please re-check if you typed it correctly?

does your method of creating a bootable iso really use the kernel from
the recent cd-image, or maybe there`s an older kernel in place?

if that fails for you and if you are that your cpu does have pae, please
post the contents of /proc/cpuinfo.

you may attach an usb cd-rom to your r51 and try to directly boot from
that.

i´m curious what`s going wrong here.

one thing to add - on lubuntu iso i just tested, entering a kernel param
at boot/installation-time does not seem to find it`s way into grub.cfg -
so it needs to be re-added after installation.

since i´m not a long-time ubuntu user, i`m unsure if this a bug or by
design

i installed fedora20 for a test and so did hpa, and for both of us, the
result is different from what is being told:

i just tested your patch on ubuntu 13.10 with kernel from 14.04

works like a charm!

i would recommend adding the newly introduced param to to Documentation

please let`s stop discussion as any further discussion does not add
anything valuable to the solution.

i think 272 comments (=thousands of lines of text) is enough discussion
for a problem which can be entirely fixed for everyone by some kernel
developer adding 22 lines of code to the linux kernel.

2014-02-27 Thread roland aus köln
i read "experimental" in those links - and i think there are people who
dislike installing their operating system in a re-packaged way  from a
community based, untrusted source.  nothing against you, nio, you appear
trustworthy - but i`m one of those.

if all the community efforts had been put into the kernel fix instead of
fake pae or building alternative installation methods  , then we would
not sit here and discuss.  it may be a logical step, that these
workaround exist, but it`s always better to adress the root cause
instead of tempering with a symptom.

it was good work to provide those workarounds, but it would be even
better work to integrate the kernel fix from upstream now and help
bugging  the ubuntu devs to do so.

while writing this, i bet the kernel  based fix had probably alrady
being done if the community workarounds never existed, because while
they existed the ubuntu devs could lean back and tell the user: Pentium
M? naah, that`s old, watch out for fake-pae and alternative installer
disks as a workaround. that probably HELPED a LOT of users but it did
not help fixing the root cause, because many users never needed to
complain because of that. linux people like tinkering...oh yes.

Luke, thanks for letting us know and for the credits.

What you write is exactly the reason why i spent my free time on help
fixing this and it`s also the reason, why i was constantly nagging here
- and why i was (or still am, as it`s not fixed yet) very dissapointed,
too.

I hope that ubuntu will put the fix in very soon, as release date for
14.04 is just some weeks ahead

>May be "one-hundred-papercuts" is the right place if you feel a bug
doesn't get enough attention foralongtime.

that`s a pointer, thanks.

>Another valuable thought is that one cannot blame the ubuntu-people
solely for not getting this right

yes, for sure intel also is to blame, but when the ubuntu team decided
to drop non-pae kernel  ( http://ubuntu.5.x6.nabble.com/Dropping-i386
-non-PAE-as-a-supported-kernel-flavour-in-Precise-Pangolin-td366373.html
) they should better care for the consequences instead of ignoring the
problems of hundreds of users.  and , they cannot say that nobody
complained - there had been complaints already at time of the
announcement.

i would have no problem when ubuntu was simply ubuntu desktop, but there
is ubuntu server, there is ltsp, there is lubuntu and there is xubuntu,
and these are all suitable or even meant for old hardware. hardware you
cannot use with these ubuntu derivates anymore.  and there are many more
ubuntu based distros - get a clue at:
http://distrowatch.com/search.php?basedon=Ubuntu

so, deciding to drop non-pae ubuntu team also decided killing old
hardware, as users are more likely to switch to new hardware than
switching to a distro like debian.

>@ roland aus koeln: Keep in mind: a bug report disappears from list
once it's marked as invalid. But is also appears in trusty

i neither maintain this bug nor can i remember touching this bug`s
status information, i´m not even sure if i can change a bug`s status at
all.

what i really no not understand is why adding my rather non-intrusive
patch to the ubuntu kernel as a workaround to the "drop-non-
pae"-decision is such a no-go and why kernel devs telling they would
probably have a look and probably make a better version of it and then i
never ever get any response again. to me this looks like they neither
put attention on this issue nor do they appreciate/esteem work/fixes
from the user community, as the work i put into this is for nothing and
just a waste of time.

2014-01-21 Thread roland aus köln
regarding the usb id it´s not an issue in the trusty kernel anymore
(besides that there is an issue with the firmware-nonfree), but the
issue exists with current ubuntu releases and that makes it a pain to
keep this adapter working on different pc`s - as every kernel update
breaks the wifi.

this bugreport should have been tagged for saucy, unfortunately i don´t
know how to tag a bugreport for a specific ubuntu release - otherwise i
would have tagged it for saucy

[Bug 1270441] [NEW] Unable to boot lubuntu trusty daily build 17.01.2013 on celeron M 1300Mhz

2014-01-18 Thread roland aus köln
Public bug reported:

The error message is:
"This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae.
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for you CPU.

The System has a  Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1300MHz with the
following cpuid information:

0001 0695 0812  a7e9fbbf

The CPU should be PAE capable (as many other Pentium/Celeron M CPU`s
are)

The problem  is that cpuinfo often does not correctly report about PAE
capability of Celeron/Pentium M.

I know there exists a long bugreport for this since 12.04, but since
it`s not listed as an open defect for trusty in the qatracker, i repost
to raise awareness.

Since trusty will be a LTS release, please take into account that you
lock out thousands of users with such cpu`s (older thinkpads for
example) for a long time and such users will either need to do lot`s of
work to make lubuntu run on such a system, or they will (more likely)
switch to a different distro like debian.

So, please someone either care for this issue _now_ to have it fixed for
14.04 or please close the existing bugreport and reject it as
invalid/won´t fix instead of  putting users off from month to month and
making them waste their time with reading this bugticket or adding
information to it.

No further progress ?

ubuntu/lubuntu/xubunto 14.04 & co will soon get off the starting blocks
- i heard it will also be a LTS.

And all of those still being shipped with a known problem affecting

Please, Ubuntu team put an hour effort into this, this would save much

Public bug reported:

USB ID for the mentioned Wifi Usb adapter seems to be missing in the
p54usb driver, so i need to recompile p54usb.c for each PC i setup or
after every kernel update.

can you please add the USB ID to the ubuntu/lubuntu/xubuntu kernel ?

3.13-rc4, 3.12.6, 3.11.10, 3.4.75, 3.2.53 and 3.0.101 do all have
support for this device

despite other reports, this older device is wpa2 capable, it`s only a
matter of the correct firmware if it works with recent wifi networks.

2013-12-04 Thread roland aus köln
it`s based on information from cpu-world.com, they have a large "real
world" cpuid database (user submitted data).

it`s ineed not tested, but based on the infos at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu-fake-PAE#Test  i would
logically assume, that all of these behave identically. they all have no
PAE flag shown and are the only "non pre-dinosaur-age" cpu`s missing
that feature.

i`m curious about the 1,2 ghz one listed, as this is not in the database
at all.

oh, and i see there is one of the 1600Mhz Pentium M with AFE9FBBF, so
this one could fail to work, too.

2013-11-27 Thread roland aus köln
>as Debian also includes a pae flags check in the 686 kernel package

the pae flags check is in the x86 bootcode of the kernel and apparently
it depends on the bootloader if it`s being executed or not.

only grub2 seems to skips that code which does vga initialization, cpu-
checking and other steps like edd (
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/arch/x86/boot/edd.c?id=e479c8306f898fcdb9b36179071eae6338a17364
) , which makes all the work pretty pointless.

i wonder, why skipping that code is possible at all and nobody complains
(besides that silent complain of hpa)

for details, see
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/boot/main.c
 (end of the file)
and
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/boot/cpu.c
and
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/boot/cpucheck.c

btw - thanks Dimitrijs for the positive response.

2013-11-27 Thread roland aus köln
i don`t have the skills for this and i don`t understand, why hpa
forwarded discussion to lkml at this early stage, as it is a patch
primary meant for the ubuntu kernel to adress an ubuntu specific
problem.

sure it is not perfect and not the optimal way to proceed, but it is a
solution to a problem.

we wouldn`t have this problem and we wouldn`t have this patch if there
wasn`t the discision to drop support for non-pae kernels.

so hopefully the ubuntu kernel maintainers will give a comment on this
patch or pick it up to make a version which fulfils kernel code-
quality/style or patch-submission requirements.

this patch is rather unintrusive and it easily solves a problem for many
users.  i spend many hours on debugging this issue and developing this
patch, so for now please understand that i`m done with it.

2013-11-26 Thread roland aus köln
I've been tinkering around a little bit this evening


To: kernel-t...@lists.ubuntu.com
Cc: "H. Peter Anvin" 
Subject: [PATCH] - add "fixpae" bootparam to fix/workaround #930447

Hello kernel-team,

regarding https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+bug/930447
, i have developed a simple patch to (hopefully) provide an easy and
elegant workaround/fix for the issue. I assume some hundred users (if
not some thousand, as entries in bugreports are only the tip of an
iceberg) are affected by this issue.

Please take a review and feel free to merge.

As defaulting to PAE kernels is specific for some distros only, i think
this is no patch for mainline (yet).

I did not often do patches, nor am i a good programmer - so sorry if the
patch or the submission style is not perfect.

regards
Roland

---
This patch adds a kernel bootparam "fixpae". If integrated into the kernel, 
this should make life more easy, as installation quirks like fake-pae package, 
upgrade path from ubuntu 12.04 onwards or specially crafted installation media 
are not needed anymore. Affected users also get a hint that their issue may be 
workarounded with this param. Just add the bootparam to the kernel commandline 
and you`re done.

   fixpae  [x86] Workaround for a nasty PAE issue with older CPU`s
   like Pentium M, as they may report PAE incapability
   although they support it. This bootparam adds a fake
   pae entry to the flags section in /proc/cpuinfo and
   skips the validate_cpu() routine in arch/x86/boot/main.c
   This is necesssary as major distros nowadays only ship
   PAE Kernels for x86 and there is no easy workaround.

[Bug 930447] Re: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux

2013-11-24 Thread roland aus köln
so here we go:

i had some very short conversation with hpa (thank you for that valuable
input!) and he is telling, that grub2 bypasses standard linux kernel
initialization code . he thinks this is not good at all and wonders,
what makes grub2 think it`s smart enough to do so.

by piece of luck, grub2 "circumvents" the pae problem with cpu`s not
correctly reporting it - and that made it possible to provide
installation-quirks like being described on the ubuntu wiki.

from my limited point of view, skipping standard initialization code
from the linux kernel does not appear to be smart to me too, because it
made finding the real problem so extremly difficult.

i guess, if grub2 (and so the kernel) would just behave the standard
way, maybe we already would have an appropriate quirk in the linux
initialization code, or at least a hint that there are cpu`s which have
pae but do not report about - and a kernel param to force skipping the
pae check.

you can easily verify that hpa is correct - just edit the grub
commandline and replace "linux /boot/vmlinzand "initrd
/boot/initrd..." with "linux16 /boot/vmlinuz..." and "initrd16
/boot/inititrd..." and - voila, the problem also happens on bootable
systems.

i think this is stuff for being further discussed on linux-kernel and
grub mailing lists...

[Bug 930447] Re: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux

2013-11-24 Thread roland aus köln
one interesting finding:

i tried grub4dos (0.95) to boot /casper/vmlinuz+initrd.lz from USB   and
it also does NOT boot , but also bails out with the "missing pae"
message.

so, apparently it`s NOT  a syslinux triggered problem.

maybe this has something to do with realmode ?

think we need to find out why normal grub _does_ work.

2013-11-24 Thread roland aus köln
syslinux CAN check if there is PAE, but it looks that ubuntu makes no
use of that.

the message comes from the linux kernel, so the kernel checks for PAE
and does not find PAE. this is somewhat expected, when the cpu lies
about it.

but the question is, why booting via grub makes things work. so i`m not
sure if syslinux is to blame.  think we need to find out how pae
detection in linux kernel works and why it passes when booted via grub

i found that ubuntu is using an older syslinux version, so i made a
bootable usb-stick with a recent syslinux version and directly booted
via syslinux.cfg:

DEFAULT test
LABEL test
KERNEL /casper/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=/casper/initrd.lz  

but the problem remains:

SYSLINUX 6.02 EDD 2013-10-13 Copyright (C) 1994-2013 H. Peter Anvin et al

2013-11-24 Thread roland aus köln
i have copied the installer disks kernel and initrd to my working system
and it (indeed) boots via grub.

so it`s either syslinux which makes it fail boot or grub has something
alongside wich makes it work "magically" (as the kernel checks for PAE i
wonder, why it boots at all)

[Bug 930447] Re: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux

2013-11-24 Thread roland aus köln
i did a comparison of the installer`s kernel .config with the kernel
.config of my working system - and they appear nearly identical:

3c3
< # Linux/i386 3.11.0-12-generic Kernel Configuration
---
> # Linux/i386 3.11.0-13-generic Kernel Configuration
68c68
< CONFIG_VERSION_SIGNATURE="Ubuntu 3.11.0-12.19-generic 3.11.3"
---
> CONFIG_VERSION_SIGNATURE="Ubuntu 3.11.0-13.20-generic 3.11.6"
5435c5435
< CONFIG_USB_OTG=y
---
> # CONFIG_USB_OTG is not set
5703d5702
< CONFIG_USB_ZERO_HNPTEST=y
6717a6717
> CONFIG_DM_RAID45=m

so i would confirm the suspicion that the problem must be related to the
bootloader somehow.

but the question is if syslinux makes the kernel fail boot or if grub
has something "inside" which avoids the kernel fail to boot.

if PAE cpu flag is not available in some processor`s CPUID, i wonder why
the kernel can boot. does linux kernel not check for cpu flags and does
it detect pae capability differently (i.e. more reliable?)

2013-11-23 Thread roland aus köln
Hi there, 
here is another user of Lubuntu-"this is good for your old hardware"-Distro and 
it DOES NOT INSTALL on my Pentium 1,5Ghz Notebook.

I spent hours on this today to make it work and my dsl line was glowing
becaus of this, too - as fetching 12.04 for installation and then doing
online upgrade 12.04->12.10->13.04->13.10 needed some hours and also
some gigabytes download.

After reading trough all the ifs and buts i cannot believe how arrogant
developers must be for not caring about issues with older hardware.

I`m really pissed.  it`s not the first time that i come across some
"naah, that`s old. buy a new hardware"-bug.  linux always breaks sooner
or later on a hardware where it worked without a problem before. and the
bugs causing it get never fixed.

This is planned obsolescense, as you, developers who decided to drop
non-pae kernels and who decided to drop support for Pentium M processor
are responsible for thousands of working notebooks being put to trash
because they can`t be used with a recent and supported OS !!!

So - all the fuzz is just all about a bug in syslinux ?

HPA does not want to fix it?

Can someone point me where he is telling about that?  If he does not
want to fix it, some other may fix it for him.

[Bug 1058748] Re: Default kernel requires PAE 12.10 beta 2

Christopher, 
Lubuntu is based on Ubuntu, and so Lubuntu does not boot either, it gives the 
same error.

Shame on (L)Ubuntu that they ignore users with older hardware,
especially if the older hardware HAS PAE support, but only the CPU (like
Pentium M) doesn`t correctly tell about.

I`m sure, it could be easily workarounded in the installer, but it´s  a
matter of goodwill.

Let`s call it planned obsolescence
