[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1850728] Re: CPU mis identified, need to force workaround

2019-11-09 Thread Peter D.
My guess is that .../drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23885-core.c is important and maybe my IOMMU, but I don't feel competent to patch the code myself. Nor am I certain that "15d1" is the magic number for Raven Ridge APUs. psd@myth:~$ lspci -s 0:00.2 00:00.2 IOMMU: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [A

Workarounds include; use an older version of Ubuntu, use a faster monitor, use a video card (nVidia GT 710), use a mainline kernel 5.4.0-050400rc6-generic which also reports the VGA port as a VGA port. But using a mainline kernel and a video card xrandr reports a 77 Hz refresh rate

@Morten I think that all Ryzen motherboards are going to have UEFI firmware rather than the old BIOS firmware - even though everyone keeps using the old name. If it is your computer and you know what you are doing you could turn off secure boot. If you don't know, then don't do it. I grabbed al

Correction: Rc7 sometimes boots in the standard way. Sometimes it goes to a black screen. Rc7 boots reliably from the *recovery* mode in the grub menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launch

I'm not so sure that it is a kernel problem. Bionic with the edge kernel 5.3.0-24 seems OK, although it has locked up once or twice. Eoan with kernel 5.3.0-23 misbehaves. Could the XFCE desktop be important? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, wh

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1850728] [NEW] CPU mis identified, need to force workaround

2019-10-30 Thread Peter D.
Public bug reported: This is probably an upstream bug, but this looks like the first pont of contact. I have a TV tuner card that works with old CPUs but fails with new CPUs that are "too fast". This is a known problem and there is a workaround for it. The workaround is automatically applied wh

First, I am surprised and pleased that ASRock is still issuing firmware updates for such an old motherboard. There was an update issued weeks before I opened this bug report. Firmware updated from 2.50 to 2.60. The stated fix in the firmware update has nothing to do with this bug - but the state

2016-02-27 Thread Peter D.
Public bug reported: Wiley Werewolf 15.10 and Xenial Xerus 16.04 (alpha) clear /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm during the bootup process, unless "hpet=disable" is given as a boot parameter. (Tested on Xenia, not tested on Wiley.) Trusty Tahr 14.04 is well behaved, without the hpet parameter. Back

The bug seems to have "gone away" when using a DVD of an early March beta version of Focal Fossa 20.04. It boots very happily with no obvious display problems. Sorry that I could not track down exactly what the problem was. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kerne
