[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1308105] Re: Xfce resets TV mode to NULL when power cycled
What works for me to get some output on my blank screen is to execute 'xrandr --auto' via ssh. That only works when X was started in the first place, which may not be the case if you had booted without the screen on or something like that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308105 Title: Xfce resets TV mode to NULL when power cycled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/1308105/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1308105] Re: Xfce resets TV mode to NULL when power cycled
You could probably just use 'xrandr --auto', at least that worked for me. I have actually now a different 'fix', by simply never having the system notice the hdmi-link goes down. I used this wiki-page to fix that for my Intel Haswell-cpu graphics. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_mode_setting My final cmdline is now this: video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60e dmr_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/tv-edid-data.edid The tv-edid-data file is located in /usr/lib/firmware/edid/ and was derived via 'get-edid'. It actually also seemed to work with the built-in '1920x1080.edid' (saves you retrieving it from your receiver, but I thought it a bit more save to have the actual edid). Just supplying the video-parameter wasn't enough in my case, it failed to actually set the resolution to 1920x1080 (and used 1024x768 instead). Adding the edid-data fixed that (it may even be sufficient to only force-load the edid data). The reason this works is not because it fixes the issue, but because it prevents the hdmi-link from ever going down - as far as the kernel is concerned. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308105 Title: Xfce resets TV mode to NULL when power cycled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/1308105/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 689072] [NEW] X Crashes randomly with certain applications
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
My HTPC has run various ubuntu's, but with 10.10 (fully up to date, but
happened since the install) its X segfaults randomly. I can reproduce a
crash eventually by simply running amarok and/or amule (so its not just
KDE or GTK related), but haven't tried any other X applications.
It takes anywhere between seconds and hours to crash once either or both
of those applications has started. And it happens both when controlling
the applications (normally via x11vnc) or when I'm not even connected to
the screen (so no vnc client).
It does however not occur with the normal mythtv fullscreen desktop
(perhaps too little changes?) and not during hours of video-playback
using mplayer.
During the latest test, I had gdb running along side of X and was going
to post the stack trace. But apparently, it hit some kind of run-away
recursion, and I gave up trying to find the last few lines of the stack
trace once I passed stack frame #13 (I have no idea if gdb can show
a reversed backtrace?). I have taken a core-dump with gdb at that time,
which I've attached with this report.
The backtrace ended with these lines repeated basically forever:

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 331952] Re: [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver
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!) -- [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 331952] Re: [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver
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. -- [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

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. -- [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 331952] Re: [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver
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'? -- [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

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? -- [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
