2012-04-01 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Paul Hirst, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. 
Maverick reached EOL on April 2012.
Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

We were wondering if this is still an issue on a supported release? If
so, can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD
images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue in a supported release, could you run the
following command from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal).
It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to
this report.

apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would
be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the
issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once
you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-
testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon
next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and
deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your
results.

Thanks in advance.

2010-12-03 Thread fourcultures
This bug also affects my NB200 (2GB RAM) running ubuntu 10.10 netbook
edition.

Can I ask before I try it:

Exactly how much reduction in battery life (either in minutes or % of normal 
usage) does the nohz=off fix cause? And how does this compare with CPU 'always 
low' setting? 
In other words, does anyone have real life experience of the tests noted in 
comment #10? In my case I could use my netbook with 10.04 on a daily train 
commute, 2h 20min total. If my battery charge with 10.10 now reduces below that 
figure I can't work (but then I can't work if it keeps freezing, either...). 

I'm not asking about the intel_idle.max_cstate=0 fix because as I
understand it this doesn't actually put a stop to the freezes.

Thanks.

Well .. it says up there: add nohz=off to the command boot line.

example:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash nohz=off

That actually works. It lets the system run smooth. It turns off the CPU
Effects. Shorter battery life, higher risk of overheating the laptop is
the downturn on that solution.

Same on Acer Laptops. Tried 2 different ones.

It seems to be an Intel restricted issue.

Was trying all mentioned workarounds here and bug #657990, but so far no
improvements.

Kinda sucks, its been two kernel releases and as far as i can see in the
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2010Q3.html list, there is no fix planed
in the ToDoList or even the Beyond ToDoList.

Please *buntu Team, do something. I don't wanna switch to windows.

I can confirm too that this exact same problem concerns the toshiba
NB205 too.

I created a bug report for Toshiba NB205 Bug #657990 that will probably be 
merged soon with this one.
Such a disappointment, Unity looks great but i can't even watch a video on my

I hope Ike Panhc could look into that as this problem must be quite
similar to the Lenovo one.

2010-10-09 Thread Paul Hirst
Just to summarize the available options as I understand it.

Maverick with no options at all doesn't boot/function without constant 
keypresses.
With intel_idle.max_cstate=0 the system boots and functions but with enough 
freezes to make activities like playing music a waste of time and the system 
generally gets stuck during shutdown and doesn't power off.
With nohz=off or setting the CPU to 'Always Low' in the BIOS the system 
functions normally but with reduced battery life or slower speed and reduced 
battery respectively.

Anyone else have different/better options?

Surely this should be mentioned on the release notes for the release
candidate. If people upgrade their Toshiba NB300/305/310 series laptops
the systems won't boot anymore. The Lenovo S10-3 gets a section in the
release notes but the Toshiba problem is surely just as serious (there
just doesn't seem to be a fix on the cards as yet).

Yes. That about sums it up. Without intel_idle.max_cstate=0 the system
is totally frozen unless you constantly provide keypresses, mouse
movements, network activity, etc.

With intel_idle.max_cstate=0 the system will work but with regular
enough freezes to be very frustrating. Playing music is a waste of time
since it breaks up far too regularly.

Actually I also spoke too soon. There are still freezes. The machine
seems to boot fine but often won't shutdown without keypresses to help
it along. Also the sound regularly gets stuck in a loop unless you keep
up constant activity like moving the mouse.

I tried the kernel build in bug 634702 (comment #27) but it doesn't help
on my Toshiba hardware. (I had hoped it would since they are both N450
NM10 style machines).

So as far as I'm concerned this is still an outstanding issue.

I have just tried this workaround (intel_idle.max_cstate=0) and it seems
to work as it did in 10.04.  Using my highly scientific power usage
tests.. aka powertop, it is drawing only 7.8W spends ~80% in C4 and ~15%
in C3 while running at 1GHz for 99% of the time.

It would be nice to get the intel idle option working to further improve
the power savings, but I can live with this.  Thank you Michael!

I will perform further testing to see if I experience any stuttering while 
playing music or videos.
Conor, for consistency's sake, were you streaming the music and videos, playing 
from the HDD or USB drive?
I would like to test under the same conditions to try to replicate the 
stuttering.

Hi Jason,

Videos streamed off Youtube.
Music played off the primary (windows) partition on my HDD.  (linux is 
secondary).

In my testing to see if it was a pulseaudio problem, I disabled
pulseaudio and the stuttering had decreased dramatically.  However, it
tends to be finicky and I can't replicate the results at everyboot, or
every song, etc.

I can confirm this bug.

Toshiba NB200 - Bios ver. 2.10
Kubuntu Maverick 10.10 Beta - completely updated as of today.

Problem still exists (and seems to have worsened for me)

One work around that was not mentioned: Setting Toshiba Bios setting :
SATA Controller to Compatibility lessens the problem, but does not
resolve.

The issue seems to arise from a Bios-level HDD parking mechanism that
makes the harddisk park when the computer is 'idle' the only issue is
that it does this when the computer is not idle.  The alt-button or
mouse movement tickles the HDD back into action.

Did you read this page which suggests that setting it to Always Low
might not be the best plan?

http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/power/good_practices.html

In essence the machine can go to sleep for less time because it takes
longer to do things.

However if you have actually found better power usage than nohz=off then
I'll give it a go and see how much slower the system feels.

2010-09-18 Thread Jason Barnett
OK, I did a bit of quick comparisons of the different workarounds and
the power usage as reported in powertop.

nolapic:11.2W  97% of it's time in c4wait,
97% running at 1Ghz

nohz=off:  11.6W  98% of it's time  polling,
100% running at 1GHz

clocksource=jiffies:   12.6W  99.5% of it's time polling,
50% running at 1.6GHz, 50% running at 1GHz

BIOS option always low  11.2W  59% of it's time in c1wait, 36% in
c4wait  (always running at 1GHz)


These were taken with simply booting, logging in and running powertop then 
letting the readings settle for about 5 minutes.  I did not touch the system 
during this time.  It would be better to run while doing specific tasks, but 
that is harder to replicate and I just wanted some down-n-dirty numbers.  I 
think I will be sticking with the nolapic kernel option.

Hope this helps a bit and that we can find a fix to make this
information obsolete.  :)

[Bug 638434] Re: Freeze on Toshiba NB300 without external interrupts

2010-09-17 Thread Jason Barnett
Found that adding nolapic to the kernel options also works to allow the
computer to boot normally.  This also leads to shorter battery life.

I updated my BIOS to the latest revision (1.7) and the problem still
exists.

Just found that changing the BIOS option Dynamic CPU Frequency Mode
from Dynamic to Always Low allows the netbook to boot with the
default kernel options.  This is not ideal, but keeps the battery life
up.

Problem persists with kernel vmlinuz-2.6.35-22
setting the nohz=off allows normal function but with a much shorter battery 
life.
