Jason Curl, in order to allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue, at your earliest convenience, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D ? Please keep in mind the following: 1) The one to test is at the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder). 2) The release names are irrelevant. 3) The folder time stamps aren't indicative of when the kernel actually was released upstream. 4) Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds .
If testing on your main install would be inconvenient, one may: 1) Install Ubuntu to a different partition and then test this there. 2) Backup, or clone the primary install. If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Where X, and Y are the first two numbers of the kernel version, and Z is the release candidate number if it exists. If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream. Also, you don't need to apport-collect further unless specifically requested to do so. Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this report Status Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: bios-outdated-2.30 ** Tags added: latest-bios-2.30 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1542862 Title: pl2303h and ftdi serial port bug Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When developing an application using serial ports, behaviour between process restarts is undefined for particular usb serial port chipsets. Tested chipsets to fail are: * pl2303H * ftdi Tested chipsets to work are: * 16550A * pl2303ra Attached is a minimal test program to recreate the issue. The program needs to run twice, the first to create the problem, the second instance that shows the problem. See the comments at the beginning of the test program to see expected output and observed output. You'll need the device under question attached and running as the receiver in the test program and a NULL modem cable (3 wire). Easiest to show the problem if you have two of the same USB devices attached and execute the command with "./a.out /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1". Note, flushing, and other workarounds haven't worked, only physically removing and reinserting the problematic devices between runs (in particular, the device that is receiving the data over the serial port). As there appears to be data in a buffer between runs that can't be properly flushed, I can't say if this is a potential security issue or not.
