| a5m0 | hi i'm running the xorg-edgers ppa on my xubuntu laptop and it seems that the 3.7 kernel that it's installing is causing a crash/panic whenever i plug in the power brick, i've searched around but it seems like this was an issue that was already fixed in previous kernels, anyone know of a fix? | 03:57 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | a5m0: do you have acpi errors on boot? | 04:20 |
| a5m0 | no errors on boot that i have seen, only when i plug the already running laptop into wall power | 04:21 |
| a5m0 | the kernel panics/freezes | 04:21 |
| tomreyn | then i dont know, other than suggesting you try mainline | 04:27 |
| tomreyn | a5m0: i'm not sure which ubuntu version you're on, though. quantal xorg-edgers has linux 3.8.0-6.11 since feb 11 | 04:31 |
| a5m0 | uname -a says 3.7.0-7 generic, but i'm on xubuntu with xorg-edgers | 04:32 |
| a5m0 | 12.10 | 04:39 |
| tomreyn | a5m0: you're right, i actually have the same, and the 3.7 kernel, too | 04:46 |
| tomreyn | https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=quantal lists linux_3.8.0-6.11 so I was mislead | 04:48 |
| tomreyn | a5m0: i had some ACPI issues with the 3.7 kernel, that's why i checked with ricotz + sarvatt whether they could provide a newer one, but i think they ran into dependency hell. | 04:50 |
| a5m0 | :/ wonder if i should downgrade or if it will ever get fixed | 04:53 |
| a5m0 | it didn't always do this | 04:53 |
| tomreyn | downgrading has always been a pain for me. ppa-purge never worked properly. | 04:54 |
| tomreyn | why not try mainline? | 04:54 |
| a5m0 | wouldn't i have to purge to go to mainline? | 04:55 |
| a5m0 | how do you suggest i switch to mainline? | 04:57 |
| tomreyn | you just need to add the repository | 04:59 |
| tomreyn | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 04:59 |
| tomreyn | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 04:59 |
| tomreyn | read this before you do: http://askubuntu.com/questions/162616/should-i-upgrade-to-the-mainline-kernels | 04:59 |
| a5m0 | "They will often break drivers" doesn't that defeat the purpose of using xorg edgers? | 05:16 |
| a5m0 | i thought that xorg-edgers releases their own kernels because it had drivers in them | 05:16 |
| tomreyn | i think this warning is primarily about proprietary drivers | 05:17 |
| a5m0 | ok well i'll try it then | 05:17 |
| a5m0 | i'm using intel hd4000 | 05:17 |
| tomreyn | the good thing bout mainline is that you can easily switch between that and the other kernel you have | 05:18 |
| tomreyn | also you can easily remove it | 05:19 |
| a5m0 | i tried sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa but apt-get gives me a 404, is there a newer one? | 05:21 |
| tomreyn | ppa:kernel-ppa should work | 05:21 |
| a5m0 | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found | 05:22 |
| tomreyn | sorry, i was wrong. this is how to do it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65661/i-was-told-on-launchpad-to-test-a-mainline-kernel-how-do-i-do-that-with-nvidia | 05:24 |
| a5m0 | so it has to be done manually every time? | 05:27 |
| tomreyn | i guess. i haven't done it in a while | 05:27 |
| tomreyn | https://github.com/medigeek/kmp-downloader | 05:48 |
| tomreyn | this should help automating it to a sufficient degree. | 05:48 |
