[Bug 1616695] [NEW] Bluetooth signal is unusably poor

2016-08-24 Thread ZachG
Public bug reported:

Brand new Macbook Pro 12,1.  Brand new Ubuntu 16.04 install (from
scratch).

In MacOS the machine can connect to my bluetooth speaker from across the
room and play A2DP no trouble at all.  In Ubuntu 16.04 I have to
literally hold up the macbook 1 inch away from the speaker to get it to
connect and play, and even then it's a bit choppy.  Turning off Wifi
seems to help a bit, which leads me to think this is some kind of
transmit power issue.

Syslog is chock full of warnings about skipping audio:

2012-12-06 Thread ZachG
I'm also running into this issue on two of my machines.  Both are Asus
X53U laptops running almost 100% stock versions of Ubuntu 12.04.  I've
installed nothing but chrome and gnome-panel on the machines.  This
manifests as users not being able to login using lightdm to the
machines.

I see an identical error in .xsession-errors as reported above:

Changing the interpreter from sh to bash in lightdm-session allows users

I am as well, even with a fixed driver.  Mine happens most often when I
close my lid, either it has to do with the screensaver or screen
blanking im not sure.  Sometimes its a lot more often than others.
Certainly much better than before the driver fix.  No way to

Do you have any idea then why when I boot into the new kernel theres no r8192

2010-07-14 Thread ZachG
@Andy -- I'm confused how this should work.  This whole time we've been
talking about an out-of-tree module.  Does the kernel you posted contain
that module built in somehow?  When I boot into that kernel I don't
actually get wifi access at all unless I modprobe one of the version of
the r8192 module I have lying around.

2010-07-05 Thread ZachG
I tried using the new kernel:

zgoldb...@netglider:~/Downloads$ uname -a
Linux netglider 2.6.32-24-generic #38lp585938v201007051739 SMP Mon Jul 5

zgoldb...@netglider:~/Downloads$ /sbin/iwpriv.old -a
crash


;(.


I'm a bit confused as to how this was supposed to work.  I was under the 
impression that this driver was not upstream?  I've been using r8192se as a 
module this whole time?  I'm going to take a quick look at the tarball that 
matt linked above and see if I can get that to build.

2010-07-03 Thread ZachG
1) I can confirm everything Matt has said so far on my machine.  iwpriv -a is 
definitely the cause of the problem
2) Obviously I cant copy paste so good from a non-X vt on a machine that has 
had a kernel panic.  I took a photo however (attached)


3) It looks like it crashes on an ioctl (surprise, surprise).  Sadly the exact 
ioctl isnt there?  It shows me ioctl(0x8bec) which looks like memory somehow 
got corrupted and its passing a bad ioctl?There is another suspicious ioctl 
before the crash without a macro mapping, 0x8be5.  I'm going to try playing 
with some things, such as:

making iwpriv a noop by converting to a bash script and seeing if that
makes the system stable.

Snooping around with iwpriv a bit more, maybe try some gdb break points,
see if I can narrow this down further and come up with a patch (to
either iwpriv or the driver)

[Bug 585938] Re: [STAGING] r8192se_pci + powertop = kernel panic

2010-07-03 Thread ZachG
(For all the people who found this thread by googling)
### REALLY HACKY SOLUTION WHICH WILL (hopefully) ENABLE YOU TO USE r8192 
WITHOUT CRASHING IN LINUX ###

The usual disclaimer about these kinds of hacks applies -- I am not
responsible yada yada, do this at your own risk yada yada, worked for
me, not guaranteed to work for you yada yada.

Open a terminal (On Ubuntu 10.04 aka Lucid Lynx: Applications Menu - system 
tools - terminal)
1) sudo mv /sbin/iwpriv /sbin/iwpriv.old
2) sudo echo '#!/bin/bash'  /sbin/iwpriv
3) sudo chmod +x /sbin/iwpriv


NOTES:
1) I did this on my machine, and was still able to connect to and use wifi 
normally.
2) Obviously this will likely break any application which depends on the iwpriv 
command, and also makes iwpriv unsable for you on the command line (unless you 
use iwpriv.old)
3) Powertop now runs fine without crashing with wifi enabled and running
4) Other applications may still do the same thing as iwpriv which can cause the 
crash.  This fix does *NOT* address the root cause of the problem.  I'm still 
going to look for a real fix for the underlying problem with the driver.

Matt, What so far has been your conversation with realtek?  Can you get
them to possibly bring the discussion into the open (perhaps even here)
so others can pick at their brains and maybe help come up with patches?

Do I understand right that there is a kernel bug associated with this

[Bug 592745] Re: kernel panic - kernel stack corrupted

2010-06-20 Thread ZachG
I've also tried the newer version (v17) which still seems to crash.  I
saw somebody using ndiswrapper somewhere, I havn't tried that yet.  Do
you think theres any chance of making progress on this guy or should I
relegate this netbook to being wireless-less for quiet a while ;(

What's funny is that when I first got this machine (~2months ago) it
worked fine on wifi.  There must have been some update lately which
introduced the kernel call that triggers the driver bug (the same thing
powertop seems to trigger) or maybe there was an updated kernel
introduced which causes bad behavior.

Any ideas on how to get older lucid kernels to try (like, the one from
launch day)?

I may also try fedora 13, just to see if maybe theres something ubuntu
specific that breaks things.

OK, new datapoint.  With a new generic kernel and no wifi module built
it was stable with powertop.  The second I built and modprobed the
module the machine would crash on powertop.

Going to look for a new version of the wifi module now.

I am also affected by this.  I am using stock open source ati driver.
Is there any other information I can provide or anything I can do to

other versions of the driver for this card.
