We don't know, if this bug exist in Openchrome. This patch is some kind
of the workaround. We don't know why after change graphic registers, the
wireless stops working.

We suppose for example PCI bus corruption.

Martin,
Didn't you mean to write 'you need that updated VIDEO driver for the bug to go 
away'?

I only mentioned the wireless driver, because Broadcom has a new version
available. It is not generally available as an installation package for
Ubuntu and it may not affect the bug of this thread at all, or then
perhaps it does. Who would know? It would be nice to try, though.
Broadcom wouldn't make a new version, if there weren't anything to
improve or correct, would they?

I've marked this bug as affecting the Ubuntu kernel as well since you
need that updated wireless driver for the bug to go away.

As for the log reading question... This is an example of a xorg.log where the 
-openchrome driver is in use, you can tell because it contains "CHROME(0):" 
several times:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26002104/Xorg.0.log
On the other hand, this (below) is an example of a xorg.log where the VESA 
driver is in use, you can tell because it contains "VESA(0):" several times:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24858284/Xorg.0.log.old

2009-05-25 Thread Ole Eskildsen
Hi Martin,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I, who am not a systems programmer, 
gets a bit confused when I display a log file like /var/log/Xorg.0.log!
What exactly do I look for when trying to determine which verson of openchrome 
I have installed?

The situation is, of course, that when I installed Ubuntu 9.04 I
installed the current openchrome video driver, whichever one that is. It
worked except there was a problem which someone the published a patch
for. As you indicate, a patch is not a new driver incl. driver version
number, but merely a few instructions in the existing installed driver
which get changed. That also introduces some real risks in that, the
changed driver may fix one problem but it could potentially create new
problems which nobody have yet discovered. But I (and others) trusted
the programmer and applied the patch and it did work.

Great so far, but what happens when we get the next version of Linux? We
non-tech guys haven't got a clue whether the driver we patched is part
of the new Linux version. If it is and has not been fixed, then we are
back to the same situation again.

Therefore you make a good suggestion, that we report a bug to the kernel
team! BUT we don't even know whether the driver is part of the kernel or
how to find out and, if it is, how to address the bug to the kernel
team!

So, I have got down on my knees now and I beg you to help us find the
answers to those questions and help us to report it to the kernel team
if that is what should be done.

Thank you in advance for your help, and thank you for your help so far.

Cheers,

Ole down-under

[Bug 331952] Re: [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver

2009-05-25 Thread Martin Olsson
A long long time ago, there used to be an old driver for VIA cards in
the package xserver-xorg-video-via but that driver was really bad so the
OpenChrome project was started to replace it sort of. There is no driver
at all in the xserver-xorg-video-via package... that package is just
used to make sure that old users are transitioned from the -via driver
to the -openchrome driver when upgrading.

You can tell which driver you are using by looking at the file
/var/log/Xorg.0.log (which usually contains both the driver name and a
version number but note that if you apply a patch it will still show the
same version number of course unless the patch actually changed the
version number which is very rarely the case). If the -openchrome driver
is in use you will see many lines prefixed with "CHROME(0): " in this
log file, and for example if the vesa driver is used you will see many
lines prefixed with "VESA(0):" or something like that.

I have no idea when the new wireless driver will ship but I assume it's
a kernel driver so you should ask the Ubuntu kernel team about it. If
the driver update is necessary to fix the bug then I suggest you open a
bug against the kernel (package "linux") because otherwise there is a
good chance that the kernel team will not see this bug at all.

2009-05-24 Thread Arjen Raateland
1. I'm unsure of what video driver my installation uses.

2. Today I figured I'd reinstall the patched driver, and then from the Firefox 
download screen I noticed that yesterday I had downloaded (& installed) 
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26403054/xserver-xorg-video-via_0.2.903%2Bsvn713-1ubuntu2%7Eppa3_i386.deb
Judging from the name (VIA) it is not an openchrome driver.

3. Nevertheless, Synaptic showed that I already had an openchrome driver
installed.

4. So next I downloaded & installed
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26403053/xserver-xorg-video-
openchrome_0.2.903%2Bsvn713-1ubuntu2%7Eppa3_i386.deb.

5. Changed power save settings and Rebooted.

6. Closed the lid and reopened. Screen comes back on and Hey Presto! The
WLAN connection is still up!

THANKS!

Two questions left:
a. How to check which video driver is actually in use?

b. Any guess when we could expect the latest Broadcom driver for the
4312 chip to become available for installation through 'get-apt'?

2009-05-24 Thread Ole Eskildsen
@ Arjen

I must confess I don't understand why you keep having problems if you
have carefully followed the instructions further up.

The problem seems to be that the hardware drivers for the monitor and
the wireless networking, somehow interfere with one another and also
that the wireless driver doesn't work when first installed. Therefore
what has to be done is:

1. Install and activate proprietary STA wireless driver, then reboot.
2. Apply the patch to the chrome screen driver, then reboot.

If this doesn't work then I don't know what to suggest, as this has
worked for the rest of us. If somebody else can come up with some
suggestions for you to try, then that would be good. If you switch from
the chrome screen driver to the vesa then you should also be able to get
it to work. Alternatively, simply change your screen saver and power
setting to not blank the screen, that should also keep it from
disconnecting the wireless network.

AS it also is a possibility that there is something in the instructions
above which you don't quite understand and therefore they don't get
carried out correctly. If you have a friend who has experience with
Linux who is willing to help you, then it is possible tthat he
understand the instructions and can carry them out. Hmmm!

Good luck with it,

Ole

BTW, I also installed the new firmware for the wireless network card
with b43.fw-cutter as indicated in the Hardware drivers item on the same
menu as where the STA driver can be found after temporarily deactivating
STA. I didn't notice any problems with updating the firmware, but it
didn't do away with the problem of the wireless connection being
dropped, either. I can't remember seeing any information as to what the
firmware update is supposed to correct.

2009-05-24 Thread Arjen Raateland
There is a new STA driver on a Broadcom page: 
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
It would be nice to try that one. Maybe it solves everything ...

The version I have installed (through the hardware driver widget on the menu) 
is 5.10.79.10.
There are instructions for making? (=compiling?) a new driver that can be 
installed, but it is way over my head, unfortunately. I might break the whole 
installation.

Like I wrote earlier, I have installed the patched driver, from the deb
file, the same as Ole used. I just called it by the wrong name, a patch.

It just didn't help. The connection problem still there. The wireless
connection only stays up if I don't allow the machine to 'save power',
e.g. by blanking the screen or going to sleep.

If somebody is interested to see diagnostic output from my machine, I'm
sure I can manage to post it as long as I know which command and which
switches to use.

@ Arjen

You do not need to fiddle with the source code, as Martin is trying to
tell you, that is for the developers.

This is what you need to do:

Go to this location to find the compited patch just ready to install:

https://launchpad.net/~andrew-aylett/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/608672
/+listing-archive-extra

Select the right one for your computer under the heading "Package Files". For 
my HP 2133, I of course chose:
xserver-xorg-video-openchrome_0.2.903+svn713-1ubuntu2~ppa3_i386.deb (181.7 KiB)

The download program asked if I wanted the patch installed to which I
answered yes.

After installation you need to reboot for the patch to take effect.

That should hopefully work, it certainly did on my HP2133.

Haelsninger fraan down-under,

Ole

[Bug 331952] Re: [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver

2009-05-23 Thread Martin Olsson
@Arjen, patches are "descriptions of changes to source code" and they
are not meant to be installed by end users. Normally, users do not have
any source code installed and even if you change the source code itself
nothing happens because it the binary version of the driver that is
being used (this is because the driver is written in C and not in for
example Python where the code is executed directly sort of). The idea is
that developers patch the driver and then an proper binary update is
issued (usually you get the new version in the next version of Ubuntu
except for really nasty bugs).

Anyway, you can install the source code yourself and then apply the
patch to the make the required changes and then compile the driver to
create an installable DEB. For example if you want to install the source
code for a package called PACKAGE_NAME, you'd need to:

mkdir my_dir
cd my_dir
apt-get source PACKAGE_NAME
cd some_dir_which_was_created
patch -p0 < ~/path/to/changes.patch
debuild -us -uc -b
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i some_binary_installable.deb

It's the patch command that modifies the code and it's the debuild
command that converts the code into an installable DEB update. However,
you can't run these commands blindly you need to change them a little
bit to suite whatever patch you want to try (some patches requires
"patch -p1" instead of "patch -p0" for example). Also, once you do this
you will be running an unsupported version of Ubuntu and you might
experience new bugs etc.

The Ubuntu wiki has lots of good links of how to compile code, build DEB
packages, work with patches etc but it's a lot to learn. This stuff is
meant for developers who want to contribute to Ubuntu.

[Bug 331952] Re: [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver

2009-05-22 Thread Arjen Raateland
I have experienced all the problems with the wireless connection on my
HP2133 as described in this thread since installing 9.04 (from scratch).

Following the advice in this thread, I have installed the patch
(xserver-xorg-video-openchrome_0.2.903+svn713-1ubuntu2~ppa3_i386.deb),
but I cannot find the src/via_lvds.c file. I've searched for via_lvds.c
using sudo nautilus, I never installed openchrome as a screen driver,
and adding the line driver "vesa" to xorg.conf causes malfunctioning of
the display even before logon. (I booted from a Live-USB stick to put
this right again.)

My HP2133 runs Vista Home Basic &  9.04, it has 2GB of RAM, a 160 GB
disk with several partitions, 1024x600 screen resolution and the
wireless card has the Broadcom 4312 chip. WLAN used to be ok on 8.04 and
it also works in Vista (came with the machine, now dual-booting).

Since a while the screen has developed a new feature, viz. upon
minimizing a window, it 'zooms' to the edge displaying black wire-frames
diminishing in size. I didn't set this, it just started doing it. Maybe
this gives away which screen driver is actually in use.

If output from particular commands is needed to describe the situation,
I think I can manage that. I just don't know what information is needed.

So, is it normal that I don't have the via_lvds.c file?
Do I need to install openchrome to have this file?
(The patch ran fine, though, as far as I know. No experience with installing 
patches here, though. Hey presto, it just ran and seemed to do what it is 
supposed to!)

2009-05-17 Thread Bryce Harrington
** Description changed:

  Wireless with the BCM4312 adapter connects, runs several minutes, and
  disconnects unexpectedly with Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) Alpha 4 on an HP 2133
  MiniNote laptop.  The same laptop runs wireless flawlessly under Ubuntu
  Intrepid (8.10). I only have wireless issues under Jaunty. Once it has
  disconnected, I'm unable to reestablish a connection w/o rebooting.
  
  Note that the laptop is configured to dual boot between Intrepid and
  Jaunty so its easy to run A/B experiments between the two releases.
  
  All this takes to reproduce is to boot Jaunty with the B43 driver, bring
  up wireless, and then wait 5 or 10 minutes. I've hit this at home, with
  WEP encryption, and at work on an open guest network so its not the AP.
  The wireless works fine for several minutes, disconnects, and then won't
  reconnect
  
  I'm running the latest Jaunty (Xubuntu) packages as of this morning
  (2/20/09) and the problem still occurs. I don't know if this is a
  network-manager issue or a driver problem. Here are some chunks of data

It also needed that "//ViaLVDSDFPPower(pScrn, on);" part. I compiled
first with plain 747 revision, that one which has that patch which
Martin described, but it did not fix the problem.
ViaLVDSDFPPower(pScrn,on); in via_lvds.c  needs to be commented out, and
then it works.

2009-05-08 Thread Martin Olsson
Patches are more or less never included in Ubuntu if they have not been
commited upstream. This is, as you point out, because we need to make
sure it doesn't mess up things for other graphics cards etc.

Once a patch is merged officially by the openchrome devs for your bug, then 
please take that patch and create a debdiff out of it (follow the instructions 
here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff). The debdiff 
should have a single changelog entry and should not contain commented out code. 
Finally request sponsorship for karmic (steps described here: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess). Assigning to a team is usually not 
the way it works. I think the best way forward for this bug would be to talk to 
the upstream dev about getting a fix merged there. When I had quick look at the 
upstream code I noticed that the first part of your patch (moving the F in the 
bitmask leftward) was actually merged in the middle of April: 
http://www.openchrome.org/trac/changeset/746
Is that change _alone_ sufficient to fix your issue you do you really need 
upstream to drop that call to close as well?

Stable release updates (SRU) are also possible in some cases but those
require extensive testing to ensure that regressions have a very very
low probability. You can read about this process:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

In general if you're interested in learning how to package, bugfix and
test X.org stuff properly, join us at #ubuntu-x on FreeNode IRC (we
could definitely use some more OpenChrome people to help out).

2009-05-07 Thread Ole Eskildsen
Not your fault, Andrew. It should be a straigh-forward matter to file a
bug report in Launchpad to SOMEBODY not NOBODY. I see something lacking
here in Launchpad bug tracking system.

SOMEBODY in the Ubuntu team, please, please take responsibility for
this!

You wrote earlier:
"Regarding why we didn't get an official release, I'd imagine it's because the 
Openchrome driver is needed by more than just the HP2133; while the patch might 
fix things for us, we've no way to tell that it doesn't break things horribly 
for everyone else. I'd think it would be more likely to be released to Jaunty 
once the patch has been accepted in some form by the Openchrome devs -- as far 
as I can see, none of the upstream devs have commented on it."

I appreciate what you are saying, however, let us take a little look at
the simple FACTS:

1. This bug was first reported by Ben McCann as early as 2009-02-20! - Not a 
recent bug.
2. This problem did NOT exist in Ubuntu 8.10. - Therefore very frustrating to 
experience when you install the latest version of Ubuntu.
3. Searching the Ubuntu Forum for help or a solution I discovered that many 
people are reporting identical or similar problems which didn't exist in U8.10 
on all sorts of hardware, not just the HP2133 we own. - Should be of serious 
concern to the developers!
4. Ubuntu is aspiring to be a mainstream operating system, appealing to the 
average user in the street. However, the average user cannot be expected to 
handle problems like this, he would likely leave Ubuntu behind and return to 
his previous OS. I think I speak for most, if not all, of us in this forum when 
I say that we want Ubuntu to become THE premier OS! Therefore, issues, like the 
one at hand, need to be dealt with promptly and professionally otherwise I fear 
that Ubuntu cannot switch from the perception of being a "nerdy" OS to a 
mainstream OS.

Just my 2 bits worth. Again, thank you for your assistance, Andrew, very
much appreciated.

Ole

WOW!  Thank you so much Andrew for that.

I downloaded and installed your patch, rebooted and tested the patch by
both closing the lid (and thereby blanking the screen) and opening it
again and I was still online.

Then I set my screensaver to blank the screen after a certain time, I
waited till that happened, woke up the computer and bingo I was still
online.

Thank you for your work, Andrew, I don't understand why the Ubuntu team
hadn't done this before release of Ubuntu 9.04 and saved so many of us
from grief.

For those of you who don't know where to find the patch to download
(neither did I so I had to find out first), this is where Andrew's
patches are:

https://launchpad.net/~andrew-aylett/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/608672
/+listing-archive-extra

NOTICE: You must select the right one for your computer. For my HP 2133, I of 
course chose:  
xserver-xorg-video-openchrome_0.2.903+svn713-1ubuntu2~ppa3_i386.deb  (181.7 KiB)

The download program asked if I wanted the patch installed to which I
answered yes. I also saved a copy in case I need it again in the future.

After installation you need to reboot for the patch to take effect.

Cheers from an even happier Ubuntu 9.04 user.

2009-05-07 Thread Andrew Aylett
I found that, while disabling screen blanking did stop the bug being
triggered in certain circumstances, wireless would still be disabled
whenever I used the XVideo extension.  As most of what I use the laptop
for involves a mix of WiFi and XVideo, I reverted to Intrepid for a
while...

I've patched the Openchrome package from Jaunty to include the patch
from Trac and tested it briefly on my Jaunty install, and I can verify
that it fixed the issues I've seen, both with screen blanking and XV and
also with suspend/resume.  It's in my PPA, for anyone who feels up to
trying it -- version 1:0.2.903+svn713-1ubuntu2~ppa3 is identical to
1:0.2.903+svn713-1ubuntu1 (which is the current Jaunty package) apart
from the two-line patch.  I'm in the process of upgrading to Jaunty
again :).

I'll attach the debdiff, for reference.

All,
Just a follow up to the power management solution for the wireless down 
problem. In addition to the setting recommended by Ole, I had to set my "When 
laptop lid is closed:" to "Do Nothing" otherwise if you close the lid and open 
it again, I would lose the wireless.  Let's hope a 9.04 update will fix this 
openchrome driver with the purported patch.

2009-05-06 Thread Ole Eskildsen
Hi all,

After reading about all these woes and experiencing it myself, I have
done some further experimenting in order to isolate the problem and as a
result I have found a very EASY WORKAROUND which in no way impacts on
your computer.

MY SETUP:
Hardware:  HP 2133 Mini-note netbook computer
Fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04
Using internal wireless modem with Broadcom STA driver for wifi access

PROBLEM:
After booting up and providing relevant information and password I can connect 
wirelessly.
If I leave the PC for a while and return then I find that the wireless 
connection is down and there is no way I can get it up again except rebooting, 
very inconvenient.
This problem did NOT exist in Ubuntu 8.10.

ACTIONS:
I searched the Ubuntu Forum and discovered that many, many others reported a 
similar or identical problem on many differenct hardware platforms.
Some had discovered that if they closed their laptop computer which switched 
off the screen, then they were immediately disconnected from the network and 
needed to reboot to get back on again.
Some therefore were pointing to the openchrome graphics driver (I find it 
amazing that a graphics driver should somehow interfere with the wireless 
driver).
So, the general consensus was developing that it had to do with the openchrome 
video driver and suggestions were to fall back to the vesa driver. I tried that 
and it did indeed prevent the problem form occuring, so further pointed a 
finger at openchrome.

I rebooted with openchrome again and then experimented this way:
I opened 
System/Preferences/Screensaver/Power Management
 and set it as follows:
"Put display to sleep when inactive for" and set it to "2 minutes".
I waited 2 minutes, the screen blanked without closing the laptop lid.
I woke it up by moving the mouse and tried if I still had a wireless connection 
up - NO - wireless connection was DOWN.

WORKAROUND:
I rebooted and again opened
System/Preferences/Screensaver/Power Management
 and set it as follows:
"Put display to sleep when inactive for" and set it to "never".
Now the wifi connection stays UP, it has not gone down even once!!!

But when I leave the machine I would like it to blank the screen after, say, 5 
minutes.
So I simply set the "Screensaver theme" to "Blank screen" after 5 minutes, and 
the screen blanks but when I move the mouse and check my wireless connection 
the it is still UP and running!!!

Andrew Aylett sent me this link (thanks, Andy):
http://www.openchrome.org/trac/ticket/288
If you go there you will see there is a patch made available for the openchrome 
driver and at least one HP2133 user has tested it and reports that it has fixed 
the problem.
My problem is, I don't know how to apply such a patch and since my computer now 
stays connected, I am not very keen to experiment with it.
What I am hoping is that one of the clever Ubuntu system guys will make the 
patch available for all of us to download and install the usual way via 
synaptic or one of the other update managers after rigorous testing.

This is the kind of problem I find extremely frustrating and if newbies
have this problem, then it might likely turn them off Ubuntu and perhaps
Linux in general. This problem was reported by Ben McCann in February
and perhaps by others too that early and here we are now in May and the
problem has not been fixed. Is that good enough? Well, I have been a
applications project manager for about 25 year and I would not have
accepted this situation. Anyway, now we know where the problem lies, so
please let us have a fix for it.

I noticed this:

With 2133 on AC power

System -> Preferences -> Power Management -> On AC Power -> When Laptop
Lid is Closed = Blank Screen

Closing the lid drops wireless connection permanently, and display can
be seen to blank


With 2133 on AC power

System -> Preferences -> Power Management -> On AC Power -> When Laptop
Lid is Closed = Do Nothing

Closing the lid has no effect on wireless connection, but display can be

2009-05-04 Thread Ole Eskildsen
G'day Jerry,

I just saw your post and thought I would share the latest development
for me because it looks like my connection is staying up. (I will
reserve my final judgment till tomorrow after I have slept all night and
the connection hopefully has stayed up.)

I noticed that Ben McCann in one of his posts above was speculating that
the graphics "chrome" driver seemed to make the connection go down in
certain situations (why the video driver should interfere with the
wireless driver is beyond my understanding.). He then suggested to use
another graphics driver "vesa" which he seems to think is inferior to
the "chrome" driver but that the connections stays up.

So, I decided to try it. This is what I have now:
1. Ubuntu 9.04
2. Broadcom STA Wireless Driver (I think this may be important).
3. "vesa" video driver by modifying the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (a bit tricky 
if you don't know how, be sure to take a backup before you mess with it.)
For now it seems to stay up and I have no complaints about the "vesa" driver's 
graphics.

If you don't know how to do these things, then perhaps I could talk you
through it on the phone, but not now, I need to go to bed. If you like,
we can try it tomorrow.

Ubuntu is a fabulous operating system and I don't want to switch to
something else just because of this problem, but I do wish the clever
systems programmers could fix the problem and issue updated software we
could install and everything works thereafter.

Cheers,

Ole

2009-05-04 Thread JerryW.
I also have this problem on my HP 2133 and it looks to me that the
openchrome patch linked by ASG would work for me.  Unfortunately, I'm
much to much a newbie on Linux to attempt this patch.  Is it possible
for someone to compile this change for me so I can substitute the file
on my 2133?  I know someone locally that seems to know enough to lead me
through the terminal to update the driver if I had a driver with the
patch applied.

I would hope that Ubuntu would end up with an update to 9.04 at some time but 
I'm trying to set up this mini for my elderly sister-in-law in Australia 
(Perth) so she can email my wife on a regular basis in the U.S.  As you can 
image, having the wireless go down for her periodically might end the project.
Thanks,
Jerry W.

2009-05-04 Thread Ole Eskildsen
Michael,

I'm another user who has this problem.

My hardware: HP 2133

When I first installed 8.04 I could NEVER get wifi to work.

After I upgraded to 8.10, wifi was now working PROVIDED I installed the
recommended proprietary driver: Broadcom STA Wireless Driver.

Then I upgraded to 9.04 by doing a FRESH INSTALL with the recommended
Broadcom STA driver, stock standard 9.04 installation, but now wireless
crashes randomly as described by all the above.

Wireless was working fine on 8.10 now under 9.04 it doesn't work properly.
It seems to me, as some have reported above, that it disconnects when I leave 
the machine. Even if I leave Evolution email running which connects to the mail 
server on the Net once every minute, wifi still disconnects. When I am at the 
machine and doing things like browsing the net, it seems to stay up most, if 
not all, of the time.

I think this is of GRAVE CONCERN. This bug report was raised as early as
2009-02-20 by Ben McCann, and now we have May 4 and the problem still
exists.

I have noticed there are literally 100s of bug reports with a similar
theme for all kinds of hardware, not just the HP 2133.

This leads me to conclude there is a MAJOR PROBLEM with wifi under
9.04!!!

How can we get the developers to give this a high priority?
The ideal solution would be that the problem gets found very quickly and fixed 
and updated software (whether kernel or something else) is made available via 
synaptic or apt-get, etc.

Those of us who have been using Ubuntu for some time and like it will probably 
do what you wrote: "should I just give up and learn to live with it?".
BUT what about new users, people who switch to Ubuntu from MS or just try it 
out?
If they keep having this problem, then they will NOT be impressed and probably 
not stay with Ubuntu, but rather speak negatively about it.

Cheers from Brisbane, Australia

Ole

2009-05-01 Thread Michal Ganzarcik
Well. I've done some more testing and I think that in my case, the
disconnecting is related to the strength of signal - I don't really get
disconnected when sitting right next to the AP (will test this some
more), but if I move to a different room, I can get quite frequent
disconnects (even several per minute).

However, this is not the AP's problem - we have three computers
connected to the Wifi in our household and none have this kind of
problems. Even this laptop, if booted into Windows, works perfectly
fine. It only started disconnecting after upgrade to Jaunty.

I am not sure what to do. I have tried to downgrade kernel to version
2.6.27 from Intrepid but that also didn't help. I keep getting
disconnected under both kernel versions.

It wouldn't be so bad if it managed to connect after some time - but
instead, it tries to connect for a while and then just gives up
completely and deactivates the device (if I understand the line
"(wlan0): deactivating device (reason: 0). " from daemon.log correctly).

Should I file a new bug for this (as it is probably not really connected
with graphic drivers)? Is there even anything that can be done about it,
or should I just give up and learn to live with it?

I can verify asg:s fix. Dowloaded svn source and patched&compiled it. I
noticed that part of that patch is already in the svn code. So i tried
to compile it first with no patch, but the problem was still there. Then
added the patch and everything works flawlessly. I wonder why they
haven't added that  "//ViaLVDSDFPPower(pScrn, on);" part to the svn
code. But anyway, now i can watch films on xine and wireless holds its
connection. Hopefully they soon release update for the ubuntu version of
the openchrome driver...:)

I think this won't help me: as I have an Intel graphics card (the

I've been tracking this bug for a while hoping for a fix. Yesterday, I
was looking at bug reports in OpenChrome and noticed this:

  http://www.openchrome.org/trac/ticket/288

Near the end is a mention of a patch

http://www.openchrome.org/trac/attachment/ticket/288/openchrome_741_hp_2133.patch

I applied this to the SVN openchrome code (revision 747), compiled and
installed it and voila, I haven't had an issue with wireless disconnects
using either the b43 driver or the STA driver. I was able to watch
videos in vlc without seeing any wireless disconnects.

I'm currently running a fully up-to-date Jaunty on the XSVGA (1024x600)
model.

2009-04-29 Thread Oleg Kalnichevski
The video driver theory seems very plausible. I am also having similar
issues with Broadcom STA driver and ndiswrapper. The connection can be
successfully established and stays up as long as there is some activity.
The connection goes down after a certain period of inactivity regardless
of the driver (b43, wl, ndiswrapper). Downgrading to 8.10 seems the only
option as the moment. Both b43 and wl worked flawlessly for me in 8.10.

2009-04-28 Thread Michal Ganzarcik
Sorry for the double post, but I've just been disconnected again and
luckily, I was running the System Log Viewer and was able to get all of
the output from NM while it was disconnected, and tried to connect
again. What it did after a while is ask for my WEP information (even
though it has it already) - after I provided it, it just silently failed
to reconnect.

I had to disable / enable wireless to get connected again.

I had a Youtube tab opened in Firefox, and Krusader, Evolution, Open
Office Writer and the Log Viewer running at the time.

I closed the Youtube tab and still got disconnected like a minute later
again. This makes me suspect it's either not video-related, or I have a
different problem.

Attaching the logs from daemon.log and kern.log, hope it is useful.

2009-04-28 Thread Michal Ganzarcik
I also have this problem. Wireless keeps disconnecting, seemingly at
random - once it disconnects, it is unable to reconnect again (although
the panel icon suggests that it is trying). The only way for me to
connect again is to disable wireless in NM and enable it again.

I've tried the vesa driver fix and it didn't help at all, the behavior
is completely the same. Running the vesa driver right now and was just
disconnected.

I've also tried downgrading the NM, currently running at version
0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu2, again, to no avail.

This behavior started after upgrading to Jaunty.

provide it, but please, explain how to get to it first - I am still a

2009-04-27 Thread Ben McCann
Damian,

I'm very surprised that selecting the VESA X11 driver breaks your X
windows. This is the "lowest common denominator" driver that doesn't
rely on any hardware specific acceleration features. It should *always*
work.

I'm attaching my xorg.conf file for your reference.


This will be my last message on this bug because I'm putting my 2133 up for 
sale on EBay. I just replaced it with the new high-res HP 2140 which has an 
Intel graphics chip instead of the VIA OpenChrome chip. The Intel chip works 
well in Intrepid and totally *blows* under Jaunty due to the introduction of 
brand new and buggy Intel drivers.

I have had exactly the same experience as you. I am new to Linux but am
happy to run any commands that might help along the way but as I have
BCM94312MCG it looks like my h/w is the same.

I was using Intrepid with xforcevesa as I couldn't get any other drivers
to work. Video poor but wifi was perfect, even after sleeping.

Updated to 9.04 to see if the video had improved and was really
impressed, until the wifi issues were spotted soon after doing the full
installation. I would be keen to know if there is anything I can do to
change drivers ? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

[Bug 331952] Re: [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver

2009-04-12 Thread Ben McCann
[NOTE: WORK-AROUND AVAILABLE]

I can reproduce ezgumol's observation with the added twist that the
wireless network goes down *immediately* upon starting 'xine'. I don't
have to go to full screen at all. It it takes is playing a movie in
xine. I ran a 'ping' in one window and xine in another and as soon as
xine started the movie the 'ping' stopped and shortly later the wireless
was reported down. Further, 'dmesg' shows the 'Radio hardware status
changed to DISABLED' message coincident with starting 'xine'.

So, there apparently *is* an interaction between the Jaunty "openchrome"
video driver and the B43 wireless driver. (The HP2133 uses a CN896 Chome
9 video chip that, by default, runs with the 'openchome' driver).

I replaced the openchrome driver with the basic 'vesa' driver by adding
'Driver "vesa"' to the device section in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
This forces X to use 'vesa' instead of automatically loading
'openchrome'. For example:

Section "Device"
 Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
 Driver  "vesa" 
 Add this line
EndSection

(You will need to reboot for this to take affect).

Once the 2133 is running under the 'vesa' driver, the problem goes away.
I ran multiple trials with the vesa driver versus the default openchrome
driver and 'xine' always killed the wireless with 'openchrome'. 'Xine'
with the 'vesa' driver *never* killed the wireless. I can run xine in a
window, or full screen (albeit slowly), without any ill effect on
wireless. You can solve the wireless issue if you're willing to live
without openchrome video acceleration.


This is a significant point. I filed this bug because wireless started failing 
when I was testing Jaunty on a machine that normally runs Intrepid without 
issue. This is significant because I don't run 'openchrome' under Intrepid! 
That driver was pretty immature under Intrepid so, instead, I use the VIA 
proprietary driver for the Chrome 9 video chip under Intrepid. This driver 
works well, and provides the best acceleration, but its not yet available for 
Jaunty.

Given this data, it would probably be productive to get the OpenChrome
folks involved in trouble shooting this problem.

I noticed that when i play video with xine, the conection will drop. It
works when i start xine, but immediately when i hit "F" for fullscreen,
the connection drops. I'ts directly linked to the fullscreen video when
using xv. So could it be in openchrome drivers? Could there be some
conflict with the overlay thingy and the broadcom wireless?. When i did
system update, and left the computer on for while, the screen blanked,
but the connection managed to hold. so traffic seems to affect it. On
this machine i needed to add that "'PanelSize 1024X600", so there seems
to be some problem with display handling. Does the system do somekind of
display reset when blanking or going fullscreen with xv?

2009-04-09 Thread Superball
I think we should make a very short list of what does/doesnt resolv
and / or get us more close to the solution, (so 30 people with the
same S/W-spec don't have to try out the same thing).

I have noticed that sometimes, when I'm very active on the computer
(browsing the web) the WLAN seems to stay up. This after I disabled
all the power-saving features - that is, System->Preferences->Power
Management (Uncheck "Dim When Idle"). I am not saying that this is the
solution - The WLAN still goes down - but it actually doesn't go down
on the same short notice as it did before. It also seems that if there
are many connections (e.g. rTorrent or similar), the NIC goes down. I
also noticed something interresting a couple of days ago. I was
browsing the web with FireFox and hit 'ping google.com' in bash. the
nic suddenly started to go down to 0b/s(i measure traffic with
netspeed). By this time, 'ping google.com' was dead quiet, unitil I
quickly closed firefox. The wlan suddenly seemed to work again, since
'ping google.com' started to ping, and the netspee-applet suddenly
started showing traffic flow again. This same thing did not only
happen with Firefox, but also with RTorrent (I tried it later). My
thought is: could this have something to do with some kind of virtual
lockfile? I am (as I may have stated before) absolutely no
ubuntu-expert, but I'd really like to help solving this problem, not
only for my own sake, but for the ubuntu community. :-)

On, and I am running the BCM STA-driver.

(i.e. intrepid's version). I hoped to show that this bug was introduced in the 
HAL subsystem.

Unfortunately, downgrading these packages prevents X from starting. The
screen comes up but then the laptop freezes so I can't say whether the
wireless networking disconnects have improved.

I reverted that change, apt-get updated and upgraded this morning
(4/9/09), and restored Jaunty to working order. Unfortunately, the
wireless disconnect problem is still (as you would expect) present.
Wireless goes down 5 or so minutes after rebooting.

I'm trying here folks but I'm not sufficiently familiar with HAL to see
where to go next to demonstrate whether this is a HAL bug or some other
user space application. Andrew Aylett has already shown that reverting
back to the Intrepid kernel doesn't fix the problem. I verified weeks
ago that the B43 firmware hasn't changed.

So, what can I do to help troubleshoot this bug? It's not going away by
itself.

Following up on Andrew Aylett's posting, I too see the HAL layer
incorrectly deciding the radio has been turned off:

I wonder if the platform 'quirks' that are embedded in the HAL subsystem
have changed between Intrepid and Jaunty.

[Bug 331952] Re: [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver

2009-03-29 Thread Ben McCann
Still locks up with the acpitool disabling wakeup. I tried without
explicitly disabling iwconfig power management and with explicitly
setting power management off with iwconfig. (Note that on my config
power management in iwconfig is off by default so the latter experiment
was really pretty futile).

FWIW, the "acpitool -w" command under Intrepid and Jaunty shows exactly
the same thing, two devices, BLAN and SLPB, whose 'status' is disabled
and '*enabled', respectively. I 'disabled' wakeup on SLPB under Jaunty
and it still locked up after 5 minutes. Since this works fine in
Intrepid but fails in Jaunty (at least on my model of the HP 2133), the
ACPI wakeup doesn't appear to be related to the failure.

2009-03-29 Thread antareus
Hi,
I was mistaken, turning off the power management did not solve the bug - it 
still freezes. However, I found that turning off the "acpi wakeup capable 
device" solves the problem. In Kubuntu Intrepid, Jaunty, and even in Debian 
(running now), the wireless behaves the same - it works, than it randomly fades 
out and it is impossible to wake it. 

So, as a solution, try disabling acpi wakeup capable devices. Install
acpitool, run "acpitool -w" to display all devices wakeup capable and
then run "acpitool -W" + number of device (shown before) to disable
wakin'up.

I don't use my hp mini often, so let me know if this works for you or
not. Also, try it with power managment turned off as well (my earlier
post).

Bests from Prague.

2009-03-28 Thread Ben McCann
Upgraded all Jaunty packages to latest (Beta) version. Problem still
occurs.

It does seem like something like ACPI or some other power management
subsystem is shutting down the radio unexpectedly (and differently from
Intrepid). This is reported in dmesg at the time of the failure:

Canonical Kernel Team: I'm sure you're busy trying to close out the
release, and this bug appears to only affect one platform (so far), but
can you please make some suggestions about experiments we could try to
help narrow down the root cause of this problem?

Thanks.

Mine goes down w/o blanking the screen. It happens when the laptop is idle (but

for running experiments but I'm at a loss as to what I should be trying. 

What would it take to install the Intrepid NetworkManager on Jaunty?
Maybe we revert that and see what happens?

I (think I) have a workaround -- the problem seemed to hit me when
unblanking the screen, so I disabled screen blanking and now I can at
least shut the laptop lid without losing wireless.  It's not ideal, but
it helps...  Ben, looking again at your report, I'm not sure this will
help you -- it seems that we have the same output in the logs, and the
same result, but that the trigger for the wireless going down is
different?

2009-03-24 Thread Andrew Aylett
I'm no longer quite so sure it's a kernel issue -- I tried experimenting
with different kernels to see if I could work out where the breakage
occurred, but couldn't find a kernel that would make it work.

First, I tried building a vanilla 2.6.28.8 with a config file from the
ubuntu package.  The issue was still there, meaning that it's not a
problem with the ubuntu patches.  Next, I was about to try building a
2.6.27 kernel when I realised I could just install the Intrepid deb,
then further realised that the kernel was actually still on my system...
Booting with that kernel and the Intrepid userspace worked, but with the
Jaunty userspace it fails.  While I don't know enough to say that
there's definitely no kernel issue, it does look like it's a userspace
change which has triggered the issue.

Any hints as to what I should try next?

I'm also encountering this issue, with an upgrade to Jaunty that I ran
yesterday.  On my machine, the wireless seems to die if I shut the lid.

This seems to be the same issue, but manifesting slightly differently.
I've got the UK variant of the HP2133.

Everything worked fine in Intrepid.

2009-03-16 Thread Ben McCann

I retried the 'power off' work-around and it still failed to prevent my 
laptop's wireless from dropping after 5 or 10 minutes. I also figured out why 
the work-around was ineffective. The wireless power management was already OFF 
*before* I did the 'iwconfig  power off' command. (I ran 'iwconfig' to get 
the essid and noticed power management was OFF). I ran the 'iwconfig  power 
off' command anyway and, as you'd expect, it was ineffective because power 
management is off by default on my laptop.

FWIW, I tried enabling power management (iwconfig ... power on) and that
did not help either.

2009-03-15 Thread antareus
My point was that I have tried both Intrepid and Jaunty Alpha 6 - and finally 
Debian squeeze (I like KDE3.5). The problem was all the time the same, I even 
replaced the wireless (in fact, the whole motherboard) due to complete break 
down and with completely new hardware, it behaves the same. I think that the 
power management issue may not be only in the wireless driver but may be 
somewhere else too.
However, using "power off" command 100% works - even when continuously 
connected for more than 20 hours. Hope this will help you somehow.

I tried the work-around suggested by Antareus and it did not help. The
wireless still lost connectivity. It did seem like it took longer to
disconnect with power management disabled but that's only one data
point.

I'm actually encouraged by this result because my HP-2133's BCM4312
wireless runs flawlessly under Ubuntu Intrepid. That makes me think
Antareus has some other issue with his wireless on Intrepid that is
distinct from the one reported in this bug. This bug documents a
regression that occurs due to the upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty.

2009-03-05 Thread Charlie Kravetz
** Description changed:

  Wireless with the BCM4312 adapter connects, runs several minutes, and
  disconnects unexpectedly with Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) Alpha 4 on an HP 2133
  MiniNote laptop.  The same laptop runs wireless flawlessly under Ubuntu
  Intrepid (8.10). I only have wireless issues under Jaunty. Once it has
  disconnected, I'm unable to reestablish a connection w/o rebooting.
  
  Note that the laptop is configured to dual boot between Intrepid and
  Jaunty so its easy to run A/B experiments between the two releases.
  
  All this takes to reproduce is to boot Jaunty with the B43 driver, bring
  up wireless, and then wait 5 or 10 minutes. I've hit this at home, with
  WEP encryption, and at work on an open guest network so its not the AP.
  The wireless works fine for several minutes, disconnects, and then won't
  reconnect
  
  I'm running the latest Jaunty (Xubuntu) packages as of this morning
  (2/20/09) and the problem still occurs. I don't know if this is a
  network-manager issue or a driver problem. Here are some chunks of data

[Bug 331952] Re: [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver

2009-03-05 Thread Ben McCann

This problem still exists in Alpha 5 or, at least, the latest packages as of 
3/4/09 around noon GMT.

Can we get someone assigned to this bug? Its not going to make much
progress while assigned to 'nobody'.

Thanks,
Ben McCann

Thanks for the added logs. Since this bug has enough information
provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as
confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time
to make Ubuntu better!

2009-02-21 Thread Charlie Kravetz
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already 
done so (pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the 
Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the 
resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.

This file should be attached to the bug report (not pasted into
comments, as it makes things harder to read, and formatting is
completely broken).
