[Bug 297836] Re: 8.10 - compiz normal + nvidia binary video loses openoffice menu text
I've got a machine with the same problem. When desktop effects are set to 'normal', and the nvidia drivers are enabled, I see no menus in Open Office. I've also noticed that when this problem is occurring I get no display when I open the gvim (gtk version of vim) text editor. A workaround that seems to consistently fix both problems is to turn off all visual effects. -- 8.10 - compiz normal + nvidia binary video loses openoffice menu text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297836 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 231276] Re: ti_usb_3410_5052 driver doesn't load some devices
I can confirm that this solution (which is essentially the same as what xorduna posted above) does work for me. I'm using the 2.6.27-9-generic kernel. All I had to do is copy the firmware file to the location expected by the driver and rename it. The link posted by Anshuman gives slightly incorrect file names which may be the reason this doesn't work on all kernel versions, but it's easy enough to find the firmware image, and the expected file name is given in the dmesg output. For me, I copied /lib/firmware/2.6.27-9-generic/ti_3410.fw to /lib/firmware/ti_usb-3410.bin This worked well enough for the /dev/ttyUSB0 file to be created when the emulator was plugged in. I haven't actually tested the proper functioning of the emulator yet (I'm not really working with it these days), but expect it should work. Incidentally, I don't really think this bug should be closed. This is a useful temporary work around, not a fix. The driver should be modified so that it looks for the correct firmware image name. These devices should just work when plugged in, it shouldn't really be necessary to copy files around like this.

Re: [Bug 231276] Re: ti_usb_3410_5052 driver doesn't load some devices
Hi Leann; I just downloaded the latest live CD image and booted from it. The linux-firmware package was installed by default, but I still received a 'firmware not found' error when I plugged in the device. Is there any other package that may contain this firmware? Normally the firmware is compiled right into the driver, at least it is for the stock kernel. Not sure why it was stripped out of the Ubuntu kernel.

Re: [Bug 231276] Re: ti_usb_3410_5052 driver doesn't load some devices
Hi Leann; I downloaded the Alpha-5 live CD and tried this out. It's still not working, but the failure mode is definitely different that that of 8.04. On the 8.04 release of Ubuntu, the problem seems to be that the device isn't being recognized as a device that can be handled by this driver at all. The reason was the two lines that were changed from the stock kernel which I flagged in my initial bug report. In Alpha-5 of 8.10 the problem is different. In this release the device is triggering the correct driver, but the driver is failing with a 'firmware file not found' error. I took a quick look at the differences between the stock kernel from kernel.org and the one in the git database for Ubuntu 8.10 and noticed that the two header files which contain the device firmware used by this driver have been removed from the Ubuntu version. Normally the driver has this firmware compiled directly into it, but for some reason the Ubuntu flavor of the kernel has had these files removed. This seems to be the cause of the latest failure of this device. Is the firmware used by this family of devices included somewhere in a separate file? If it is, then the driver doesn't seem to be able to locate it. If not, perhaps it should be. Better yet, why deviate from the stock kernel method of compiling the firmware right into the driver. It's certainly more foolproof. Note that the firmware in question is not something that's specific to this emulator that I'm testing with. I believe that it's used by most, if not all, devices that utilize this driver. I have to assume that removing it will make a whole class of serial port adapters that use this driver difficult to use under Ubuntu 8.10.

Re: [Bug 231276] Re: ti_usb_3410_5052 driver doesn't load some devices
Hi Leann; I tried the device against the Alpha 4 live CD image and it did not work correctly. I'll try to collect more information on this, but wanted to give you that initial bit of information. Rgds, Steve Leann Ogasawara wrote: The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.

More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'.

[Bug 231276] [NEW] ti_usb_3410_5052 driver doesn't load some devices
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24 The ti_usb_3410_5052 driver fails to recognize a very popular JTAG emulator made by TI (MSP FET430). This appears to be a new bug in Hardy, it worked fine in Gutsy. I downloaded the 2.6.24 vanilla source from kernel.org and compiled just this driver. The vanilla driver does work with this device. I downloaded the linux-source-2.6.24 package and pulled the driver out of this. I confirmed that this ubuntu specific version of the driver fails to load the device in question. There are only a couple lines different between the vanilla driver and the ubuntu version. The problem lines seem to be: 267,268c267,268 .num_interrupt_in = 1, .num_bulk_in= 1, --- .num_interrupt_in = NUM_DONT_CARE, .num_bulk_in= NUM_DONT_CARE, I'm not sure what the reasoning was behind changing the standard driver, but this is one case in which it broke a popular device which had previously worked.
