[20:43] <JaySee> So i'm not sure how to go about filing this bug... Basicly what's wrong is the alx driver seems to crash when i let unity do it's thing and sleep my laptop when i close the lid, select it from the menu, etc. If i run pm-suspend though, the driver seems to be fine
[20:45] <penguin42> what's alx?
[20:52] <JaySee> alx is the name of the driver for my ethernet card. you use the name when you go to modprobe it and such
[20:52] <penguin42> ah ok, so ether driver
[20:52] <penguin42> and you say it crashes, in what way? It just stops working or do you get an oops or any debug?
[20:53] <JaySee> just stops working
[20:53] <JaySee> when waking the laptop back up, it simply doesn't detect an ethernet connection
[20:53] <JaySee> still detects that there's an ethernet port though
[20:53] <penguin42> does everything else work ok?
[20:53] <JaySee> everything else works fint
[20:53] <JaySee> fine
[20:54] <JaySee> i generally work around it by running "sudo rmmod alx && sudo modprobe alx"
[20:54] <penguin42> do you have wireless as well on it ?
[20:54] <JaySee> yup
[20:56] <penguin42> ok, so I'd report the bug against the linux package, makesure you use a subject like suspend in the title, and I'd make the report by doing   ubuntu-bug linux     on the system over wifi from the system after you've woken it with the ethernet in the broken state
[20:56] <JaySee> that sounds reasonable
[20:57] <penguin42> and put the note in about how pm-suspend works; I doubt unity itself has anything to do with it, it could be some interaction with network-manager or something but shrug
[20:57] <JaySee> just wasn't sure what package to file it against
[20:57] <penguin42> JaySee: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage#Suspend.2C_Hibernate.2C_and_Resume
[20:57] <JaySee> it's worth reporting
[20:57] <JaySee> as soon as this large file transfer is done...
[20:57] <penguin42> JaySee: Yeh, I'd say since it's hardware specific I'd go with the kernel
[20:58] <JaySee> well the driver wasn't even in a ubuntu package until 13.10...
[20:58] <JaySee> but now it's installed by default
[20:58] <JaySee> :D
[21:00] <penguin42> right, so some progress
[21:00] <JaySee> yup
[21:01] <penguin42> JaySee: When you report the bug, a bot will ask you to try the latest upstream kernel from a url it will give you and ask you to fill in some notes
