apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  On oneiric, with kernel 3.0.0-16, 64 bit with an AMD phenom II desktop
  machine w/ asrock matherboard.
  
  Bought and installed a PCI usb3 expansion card, with the VIA VL800/801
  chipset, which is said to be fully supported under linux.
  
  Tons of problems:
  
  1) Some usb1 peripherals work (e.g. epson scanner), some do not at all (Nokia 
N02-1 phone)
  2) Most usb2 peripherals do not work (HP printer, Edimax WIFI pen) and many 
times the system hard freezes when attaching these devices to the usb3 sockets
  3) Most usb3 peripherals to not work in a stable way. For instance a Lindy 
usb3 dual 2.5 hd powered enclosure only works if external power is attached 
/after/ the device is plugged in.  Booting with the device plugged in often 
hangs. Many times when the device is attached it is recognized, but the system 
cannot communicate with it and the partitions on the hds are not recognized.
  
  Many many many xhci_hcd :03:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep
  and stalled endpoint messages on the kernel logs.
  
- Cannot understand if it is linux support for usb3 that is still broken
- or if devices violate usb standards while carrying the usb logo or a
- mixture of the two.

[Bug 944791] Re: Via VL800 usb3 pci card almost unusable in oneiric

2012-03-05 Thread Sergio Callegari
Tried 3.3RC6 which is now available.

This kernel seems much more stable with the usb3 card. 
My testing was not truly extensive, since using this kernel is problematic w/ 
my machine and oneiric (e.g. no graphics - I have nvidia, no standard boot - 
only text mode recovery works).  However, I experienced no hard freezes, and 
the usb devices appear to be working (without those tons of weird logs).

Would be nice if the 3.3 usb3 changes could be backported to oneiric.

[Bug 944791] Re: Via VL800 usb3 pci card almost unusable in oneiric

2012-03-02 Thread Joseph Salisbury
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?  Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.3 kernel[1] (Not a kernel in the daily directory).  Once you've
tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing'
tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). 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.

If this bug is fixed by the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream-KERNEL-VERSION'.  For example, if kernel
version 3.3-rc5 fixed the issue, the tag would be: 'kernel-fixed-
upstream-v3.3-rc5'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, 
please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.  
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as 
Confirmed.


Thanks in advance.
