[Bug 1063095] [NEW] system crashes on resume from suspend

2012-10-06 Thread Tony B
Public bug reported:

The system suspends properly when I select "suspend" from the power
menu, or when I close the lid on my laptop. However, when I try to
resume by pressing the power button or opening the laptop, the system
seems to start resuming properly, and a cursor appears on a black
screen, but then a few seconds later a black and white pattern appears,
with the cursor still visible and movable. This screen does not go away,
and the system does not appear to be responsive (other than the ability
to move the cursor), not even going into a soft shutdown from a press of
the power button. To recover from this, I have to force a hard shutdown
of the computer, and reboot that way.

[Bug 1059503] [NEW] [To Be Filled By O.E.M., Realtek ALC892, Green Line Out, Rear] fails after a while, audio temporarily skips in all applications sporadically

2012-10-01 Thread Tony B
Public bug reported:

At sporadic intervals the audio in all applications gets hung up and
skips like a broken record player. This has been observed in Google
Chrome (on sites that do and do not utilize Flash), in Rhythmbox, and in
VLC media player.

*I thank you for your email and must apologise for this slow reply: I have
recently been travelling and away from an internet connection.*

*
*The overheating issue has very recently disappeared as mysteriously as it
came.  I'm now using the Kernel 3.2.0-2-486 - and it seems to have solved
my problem.*

2011-12-08 Thread Tony B
Hello Haengcho

I'm glad you managed to update your BIOS successfully.  However, this is a
risky procedure and shouldn't be necessary.

In any event, although it solves your problem, you haven't actually cured
the bug - merely ensured that it no longer affects your computer.

Regards,
Tony

Re: [Bug 579665] Re: [Acer Aspire 5315] Overheating triggers shutdown

2011-12-07 Thread Tony B
I don't hold out much hope that this problem will ever be solved. To be
honest, I'd almost forgotten about other users, thinking that it might be
just a "quirk" of my machine.

I'm now running LinuxMint 9, with the same overheating problems.  And I've
had the same experience with LinuxMint Debian Edition (I dropped that o/s
because of update issues, but am contemplating trying it again as
apparently their updates now work ok).

It would be nice to find a cure, but, in the meantime, I hope my workaround
is of assistance to others.

Re: [Bug 579665] Re: [Acer Aspire 5315] Overheating triggers shutdown

2011-12-06 Thread Tony B
Hello Phil. V

Thank you for taking the trouble to keep me up-to-date.
It seems this bug isn't going to get fixed.

I've also heard that a BIOS update might well solve the problem, but
everything I've read suggests that this is not for the faint-hearted.  I
understand that fluctuations in electricity will affect the procedure and,
since our power supply here often cuts out without warning 2 or 3 times a
day, I'm certainly not going to risk it.

In the meantime, I'll continue to use my work-around, which is:

1. Boot up laptop and wait until the desktop is displayed.
2. Close laptop lid and wait approximately 10 seconds until the system goes
into "suspend" mode (on my Acer, the light showing that the laptop is
switched on changes from steady green to flashing red).
3. Open laptop lid, type password to come out of "suspend". And, hey
presto, everything works ok with no overheating issues.


Thanks again for your response,
Regards,
Tony

Re: [Bug 669262] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.98.1ubuntu6 [modified: usr/sbin/update-initramfs] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

2010-11-01 Thread tony b
Hi Fabio or To whom it may concern: I'm always having a problem with many
Linux Distro, sometimes Ubuntu - installing the Broadcom WLAN adaptor - it's
difficult to install for a first time linux user - Is there a graphical fix
to install this or any harware, because internet access out-of-the-box, is a
big deal. I have a HP-mini 1030nr netbook with Broadcom WLAN.

Also, I'm having compatibility issues with Start-up disk creator:  after
successful creating Ubuntu and other Linux Distro, it wont load on start-up.
Ubuntu Distro is OK, most of the time. But, other Distro wont work on
start-up - It's hard to find a Live usb creator to run on Linux - most are
for Windows.

And the Lubuntu Distro-Maverick, will not install properly - no applications
loaded, after install.

Out-of-the-box and graphical install of hardware and fixes, is very
important to non-professional users, like me. Thanks alot for all your good
work - I love Linux!

Tony B.

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: synaptic

I was installing ClamAV - Computer crashed, after I interrupted the
istall process - the problem is : the Update manager wont work- errors.
It's asking me to manually fix.

I don't know if it fixed itself, but the synapic is working, but has
this error message after installation: E: amavisd-new-postfix:

[Bug 579665] Re: Overheating triggers shutdown

2010-10-14 Thread Tony B
I've recently discovered that I can make my overheating laptop problem
disappear.  And this, in turn, solves the premature shut-down problem.

I noticed that, if I close the lid of my laptop, it goes into suspend-
mode. And the fan starts up correctly when I open the lid and continue
working, even if the laptop wasn't warm when I initially shut the lid.

So my new Start-Up routine is:
1. Boot up laptop and wait until the desktop is displayed.
2. Close laptop lid and wait approximately 10 seconds until the system goes 
into "suspend" mode (on my Acer, the light showing that the laptop is switched 
on changes from steady green to flashing red).
3. Open laptop lid, type password to come out of "suspend". And, hey presto, 
everything works ok with no overheating issues.

This certainly works for me, I hope this simple procedure is of some
assistance to others.

Cheers,
Tony B

Hello Leo

Thank you for your email.  I'm not the most computer-literate person in the
world, but this is the output from my terminal.

I didn't really understand any of this, but I hope it helps.

Thanks again for the help,

[Bug 579665] WifiSyslog.txt

2010-07-07 Thread Tony B
apport information

** Attachment added: "WifiSyslog.txt"
   http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51536728/WifiSyslog.txt

** Description changed:

  Dear Ubuntu people,
  
  I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, but I had the same problem with 9.10.  Both of these 
systems were installed on a partition.
  Previously, I used Ubuntu 9.04 without problem, but this was NOT installed on 
a partition. 
  My laptop came with Windows Vista pre-installed: I do NOT experience this 
problem when running Vista.
  
  (1)  After a few minutes from a "cold" start, my laptop overheats and 
automatically shuts down.  The "Core Temperature Sensor" indicates that it 
shuts down at 100 deg C.  Other temperature sensors do not report any 
abnormalities.
  (2)  If I re-boot IMMEDIATELY, the cooling fan starts and the Core temp 
quickly drops to approx 45 deg C, and I can run my laptop all day without any 
problems.
  (3)  If I fail to re-boot immediately, or if I restart my computer before the 
sensor indicates at least 95 deg C, the computer will again suddenly shut down 
within only a few minutes due to overheating.
  
  My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5315, but I've seen lots of posts on various
  forums.  Toshiba computers seem also prone to this problem when running
  Ubuntu - and I have noted that Acer computers use Toshiba fans.
  
  Everything I've read follows the same trend: 
  (a) it seems that, when everything is cold or only warm, Ubuntu fails to 
instruct the fan to run, so it doesn't.
  (b) if the computer is already hot when it's switched on, the fan works 
perfectly. Presumably the computer has a separate thermostat to control this, 
since we know that Ubuntu isn't switching it on.
  
  I'm sure this has been reported millions of times before.  It is a major
  problem, and certainly one which prevents people recommending Ubuntu to
  others.
  
  Thanks & regards, 
  Tony

[Bug 579665] Re: Overheating triggers shutdown

2010-07-07 Thread Tony B

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  Dear Ubuntu people,
  
  I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, but I had the same problem with 9.10.  Both of these 
systems were installed on a partition.
  Previously, I used Ubuntu 9.04 without problem, but this was NOT installed on 
a partition. 
  My laptop came with Windows Vista pre-installed: I do NOT experience this 
problem when running Vista.
  
  (1)  After a few minutes from a "cold" start, my laptop overheats and 
automatically shuts down.  The "Core Temperature Sensor" indicates that it 
shuts down at 100 deg C.  Other temperature sensors do not report any 
abnormalities.
  (2)  If I re-boot IMMEDIATELY, the cooling fan starts and the Core temp 
quickly drops to approx 45 deg C, and I can run my laptop all day without any 
problems.
  (3)  If I fail to re-boot immediately, or if I restart my computer before the 
sensor indicates at least 95 deg C, the computer will again suddenly shut down 
within only a few minutes due to overheating.
  
  My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5315, but I've seen lots of posts on various
  forums.  Toshiba computers seem also prone to this problem when running
  Ubuntu - and I have noted that Acer computers use Toshiba fans.
  
  Everything I've read follows the same trend: 
  (a) it seems that, when everything is cold or only warm, Ubuntu fails to 
instruct the fan to run, so it doesn't.
  (b) if the computer is already hot when it's switched on, the fan works 
perfectly. Presumably the computer has a separate thermostat to control this, 
since we know that Ubuntu isn't switching it on.
  
  I'm sure this has been reported millions of times before.  It is a major
  problem, and certainly one which prevents people recommending Ubuntu to
  others.
  
  Thanks & regards, 
  Tony

Re: [Bug 579665] Re: Overheating triggers shutdown

2010-05-13 Thread Tony B
Thanks very much, madbiologist.  I've been told about a BIOS update before,
but I've also been warned that it could totally stuff up my computer.  In
this part of the world, the electricity supply is very iffy at the best of
times, which I understand would make me more vulnerable to a problem during
a BIOS upgrade.

I don't wish to gamble on this basis -- I can think of better things to
spend my old age pension on (like food).

But thanks again for the thought.

Re: [Bug 512096] Re: [MASTER] Exec format error : package failed to install/remove : installation/removal script returned error exit status 2

2010-03-07 Thread Tony B
Hello Mr Murray,

Thank you very much for your email. I'm not sure I understand much of it but
I ran *sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAGE_VERSION.p* in accordance with your
"workaround" suggestion A to remove the package, but I got the message that
no such file or directory exists. So then I went to your workaround
alternative B to be used when package can't be removed.  I got the following
printout:-*


t...@tony-laptop:~$ sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAGE_VERSION.p*
[sudo] password for tony:

I think I've probably done something wrong, haven't I?

2010-02-27 Thread Tony B
Public bug reported:

All my updates have crashed ever since I installed 9.10 before Christmas.
I am not at all technologically minded, so I can't help you with further 
details, except that they all come with a report that says I must run 'sudo 
dpkg --configure -a', which I've done but that doesn't help because that says 
it won't work either.

2008-08-01 Thread Tony B - San Francisco
Having same problem, same log entries exactly, on an ACER Aspire 5050 -
except I don't seem to be working every few reboots.  I'm going to try
rebooting a few times and hope for the best.
