Re: [Bug 898852] Re: Kernel freeze when on battery - Compaq nc6400

2012-04-30 Thread Jason St. JohnComp2
No problem about the aspera confusion.

I can now confirm that installing
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-rc3-precise/linux-image-3.4.0-030400rc3-generic-pae_3.4.0-030400rc3.201204152235_i386.deb
has completely addressed the original issue. It is a final fix. My hp
nc6400 now operates correctly (no kernel freeze) while on battery
power. This is the first and (so far) only fix I have seen, after
several years of searching for a solution!

I may try 3.4-rc4 at a later point. I'm happy to have a fully portable
laptop for now.

Many thanks for the idea,

Re: [Bug 898852] Re: Kernel freeze when on battery - Compaq nc6400

2012-04-23 Thread Jason St. JohnComp2
What is aspera?  The Latin for "hope."  It's some high-speed file
transfer software. But I'm stumped to see that word here. Jost Menke,
what do you mean?

Now on my second day after installing the kernel whose .deb you linked
to (HP Compaq nc6400, Ubuntu 10.4), and so far the old symptoms have
only shown up once. (Kernel freeze, perhaps, because the keyboard,
mousepad, and all onboard inputs cease to have any effect, and only
powering down is possible, yet the screen doesn't freeze.)

The one freeze incident coincided with having try to re-connect to
some Boingo Hotspot which was being unusually difficult. The problem
has long seemed tied to high room temperatures, and the use of
wireless.  Could be that these simply give the kernel more to do,
making some collision more likely?

Anyway, this fix is testing well so far. Thanks, Jost!

[hp nc-6400, kernel 3.3.0-030300rc7-generic ]

Unfortunately, with another day or so of experience, I have to report
that this does not fix my freezing-inputs-on-battery-power problem,
after all.  Three times now it has returned, just the same as ever.

Interestingly, there *has* been an improvement with the kernel change;
the suspend-on-close, which never really worked under Ubuntu (although
I eventually got it to work with Gentoo, once), now works just fine.
At least something is better about this kernel on this system!

Emmanuel, grazi mille.

For about four years I have had this HP nc6400 running Gentoo and more
recently, Ubuntu. In both, it exhbited this bug, and froze all its
onboard inputs after an apparently random interval when running on
battery.  The kernel version you found and shared has freed it from
being chained always to the power converter.  It's just like a real
laptop, now!

Many, many thanks,
