New motherboard not supported by Ubuntu
Hello I bought a new motherboard a couple of weeks ago and ever since I have +3 mins of bootup time and also my DVD reader/writer isn't available at all. The bug has been triaged but after that nothing seems to have happened. Anyone with a suggestion for a fix / workaround? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/230077 Thanks! -- Thomas Novin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG key: http://xyz.pp.se/~thnov/gpg.asc Cell: +46 730 665423 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

This is a brand new mobo model? I'd say you're in luck it works at all. Myself, I didn't always have this luck. > Anyone with a suggestion for a fix / workaround? Does suspend and/or hibernate work better? Shutting down a computer completely is so last century ;-) As for the fix - well, you're invited to narrow down the source of the problem yourself. Try with different options of the Install-CD's F6 menu, locate the point of trouble, recompile the corresponding piece of software, debug it ... Markus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl.

It's almost 6 months now, first BIOS release date is 2007/12/14. > > Anyone with a suggestion for a fix / workaround? > Does suspend and/or hibernate work better? Shutting down a computer > completely is so last century ;-) Suspend isn't an option for me since the power to the room where the computer is located is cut every night. Hibernate I have tried though and I have exactly the same problems there (resume from Hibernate takes as long as a normal boot). > As for the fix - well, you're invited to narrow down the source of > the problem yourself.

Ok, I'll try to find out was much as I can from there.

But before you do all that, contact the motherboard manufacturer and let them know that Linux users buy their products too. If we don't let the manufacturers know that we exist, how can we expect them to support our OS? What motherboard did you buy? Without model numbers, it is difficult to make anything but the vaguest suggestions.

I'm not sure what the status of this is, as I haven't encountered the situation in a while, but previously when 403 errors were issued, I had people coming to me in bafflement. update-manager didn't seem to give a potential explanation for the error (and there is surely very little chance it could be anything else). Perhaps an explanation could be added to save users' confusion?

I also recall a fair number of bug reports regarding 403 errors when a package has been removed from the archive and think a notification in update-manager would be helpful. -- Brian Murray @ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

The JMicron controller still works in AHCI mode however. I believe this will be fixed in the kernel soon, if it isn't already in 2.6.25+. I used the alternate CD to install, as both my controllers are set to AHCI mode. Hope this helps.

FWIW, this (among other issues) was discussed at UDS and is now documented as one of the things that is likely to be fixed to in intrepid: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FlashExperienceIntrepid Remember that this document is a draft.
