Kernel Bug No sound on ASUS Laptops

I had to Rollback my Kernel to 7/01/2012 in regard to the sound issue with ASUS Laptops. All Kernels after that the sound is not detected on the upgraded kernels. This is an issue for me because I need the most recent linux kernel to install my video driver Catalyst. And Catalyst conflicts with the Rollback Kernel but at the same time I will have no sound if I upgrade the Kernel. This has prevented me from using and enjoying Linux on my ASUS Laptop. I had a previous thread where I fully diagnosed the problem. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=164742 I discovered I had to Rollback my Kernel in order for the Sound to work. Please refer this bug to the Linux Gods. Thanks.

No actually 2012 not 2013 I don't know if there was a more recent kernel the most recent install I did was early July of this year and that kernel was the most recent till now. I'm not in my linux right now so I couldn't tell you which Kernel version it stopped working sometime between last summer and fall. Linux 3.4 4-2 the sound was functioning fine on my ASUS Laptop. I guess I could try to Rollback catalyst so it don't conflict with usimg an older kernel but I haven't found a solution for that. I guess my last question would be how do I file a bug? I tryed using flyspray but had some difficulty creating an account.

[SOLVED]Asus laptop light sensor after upgrade to 2.6.31 kernel

Hello,
Before I upgrade the 2.6.31 kernel I have a some code in rc.local:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_switch
echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_level
But after upgrade to 2.6.31 kernel this directories doesn't exists... So can some one tell me where now I can turn off this light sensor?
HOW TO SOLVE?
Directories has rename, true exists dir is:
/sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/ls_switch
Who have fun to change only one string from - to _ ?
I don't care, this is the fix. Regards.

Right, I worked it out. There were some files in /etc/udev/rules.d that no longer belonged to any package. After moving these files to a different directory, console device names were back at /dev/tty*.

[Solved] Kernel BUG at include/linux/netdevice.h:501, and sky2?

So, ever since a certain point in time between kernel 3.11.x and now (3.12.5-1), I have been getting this strangely inconsistent error on bootup. I would estimate that about 3 out of every 4 reboots leads to this error message, and the bootup process terminates in a black screen and what (appears) to be a system hang. However I CTL+ALT+F2, log in, and I output dmesg to a boot log, and everything my eyes have seen is now your visual property as well. The remaining 25% of my reboots patches through and boots directly to my window manager successfully. Now the output seems to be screaming to me "sky2 is the culprit", as EIP seems to be pointing in its general direction at the time of error. However, I am more inclined to believe that my hardware's interaction with the driver is more likely to be responsible. If sky2 was actually a real problem, I doubt I would be the only one complaining about this. Nonetheless, I am quite vexed, and would greatly appreciate anbody's help here. Much appreciated, and perhaps I can provide you with some other (perhaps) useful information:

UPDATE: So I ran some low level troubleshooting and decided to test out the linux-lts (3.10.24-1-lts) kernel. No problems at all. Everything works fine with my ethernet adapter and the sky2 module. It just appears that something occurred in the newer kernels to break the interface for at least one Marvell adapter. This solution works for now, but I suppose I should file a bug report eventually. In the meantime, any insight is welcome.

Asus Laptop (G1, G2, G5, G70, G71) OLED display: Command line utility.

Greetings.
Yep. You did read the subject line properly. There is a new command line utility in town.
To be more exact, there are two small utilities that I have designed for this little OLED -display. (Links at the end of this post)
To anyone still in confusion, let me show you:
Some Asus laptops comes with this neat little status display, but few softwares around to utilize them.
Specially when it comes to the Linux operating system.
What I've made here, is a simple and easy to use command line utility that communicates with the display.
But it doesn't stay at "simple". It also has a few advanced features, which is described in detail in the README and their --help sections.
With this utility and a bunch of simple pixmap images, anyone can easily create messages, animations and transitions without the need of deep knowledge of the underlying system.
This makes it perfect for boot animations, event updates, status changes and alike.
Short video-demostration:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i8Twa4h_iI
X11 Pixmap Format
To get starting, you need a set of pictures.
You should, and is encouraged to create these yourself, and if you do, please share your creations with us here. I will update a list of your creations in this post accordingly.
These utilities can, at the moment, only read xpm images. Most drawing programs can handle this today so hat shouldn't be a problem.
There is a preferred format, but other formats are possible:
* Colordepth: 1 bit (Monocrome)
* Height: 32 pixels
* Width: 128 pixels (for G1 and G2) or 256 pixels (for G5, G70, G71 ...)
There are a few prepackaged XPM images that can be used any way you see fit.
GIMP is the tool I used to create the pictures and animations.
Installation.
To install: Read INSTALL. Keep in mind: 'bin' and 'conf' folder relies on eachother, so they should stay together. I plan to improve this, but that's another story.
Permissions: Again. Read the 'INSTALL' file. You need rw-access to two class nodes:
/sys/class/asus_oled/oled_1/picture
/sys/class/asus_oled/oled_1/enabled
Doesn't exist??? ... did you read the INSTALL and README?... aw... well.. here's a hint:
# modprobe asus_oled && ls -l /sys/class/asus_oled/
The module should already exist, and if you're running Arch Linux on that laptop with the default kernel, it's already loaded.
The modules comes with the Linux kernel itself (Staging area). Nothing else needed to be done. Isn't that awesome?
If you happen to run a custom kernel, reconfigure it and activate 'asus_oled' as a module. Recompile, install and eat icecream.
(Icecream part is very important)
Quickstart.
Once you created your awesome xpm image, you want it to live on the OLED display. This is the command:
$ asus_oled-ctl --static-picture My-Awesome-128x32-Pic.xpm
Explanation: '--static-picture' just simply converts and loads a picture onto the display and exits. Nothing fancy really.
You haven't created a picture yet? .... horrible drawing skills? ...
Well ... *sigh* ... Try one of the prepacked pictures then. 128x32_archlinux-logo1.xpm should suffice.
You find it under pictures/logos/
Success? Yay! Have some more icecream!
Next thing you might be interested in, is animations.
Animations is pretty much just a series of static images inserted one after another in a rapid manner.
So get to it and convert the whole Star Wars saga to a series of 128x32 monocrome XPM pictures...
... or just make a short animation of your liking... and SHARE IT!
Need a neat command to show your animation skills on the display? Here it is:
(NOTE: There's a bug that causes this utility to have serious trouble with spaces in paths and files. I'm aware of it. Just avoid spaces for now... )
$ asus_oled-ctl --cycle 50,10 path/to/my/awesome/animation/*
Explanation: '--cycle' cycles through all the pictures it's given. The argument '50,10' tells it to delay each frame 50 milliseconds, and loop through them 10 times.
If you instead wanted one loop instead of 10 and decrease the speed to 100 milliseconds per frame? Just change it accordingly:
$ asus_oled-ctl --cycle 100,1 path/to/my/awesome/animation/*
Still a bit confused on how the animations should be set up?
Have a look at the prepacked examples found under pictures/animations/
Hey! why not test one of the examples out:
$ asus_oled-ctl --cycle 50,10 pictures/animations/Arch-ripple_loop/*
Want it to be endless? Set the loop part to 0, and it will loop forever, or until you run out of power. (You can hit CTRL+C to interrupt)
$ asus_oled-ctl --cycle 50,0 pictures/animations/Arch-ripple_loop/*
You might have noticed it took a few seconds before the animation started from the point you hit [Enter]. (And that it took some CPU to do it)
It's because the utility have to convert the images to a more fitting format before it goes ahead.
Fortunately, there's a remedy to that delay. It's called cached slots. What it means is that one can tell the utility to store the converted animation data in a storage slot for later use.
Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Convert your awesome animation, and store it into a named cache-slot called 'MyAwesomeAnimation'.
$ asus_oled-ctl --generate-cache MyAwesomeAnimation path/to/my/awesome/animation/*
It will crunch your pictures for a few seconds, and then exit normally.
Wait.... WHAT??? ... You did convert Star Wars whole saga?... Wow!!!... That will take an eternity to crunch through... =O
Once it's done (Hopefully this site still lives when it is) we can now see what cache slots we have in the storage:
$ asus_oled-ctl --show-cache
There's your Star Wars saga... *erh*.. awesome animation. If you did a full install, you might notice a few other slots too. You can test em out if you'd like.
Now to play that cached animation:
$ asus_oled-ctl --cycle 50,5,MyAwesomeAnimation
Notice how the animation starts almost instantly this time. That's what cache is for.
Want to delete any of thos annoying and horrible slots?
$ asus_oled-ctl --delete-cache MyAwesomeAnimation
Now a few other commands to try out and discover what they do:
$ asus_oled-ctl --power off
$ asus_oled-ctl --power on
$ asus_oled-ctl --clear
$ asus_oled-ctl --static-picture pictures/devel/ASUS-logo_reversed.xpm
$ asus_oled-ctl --help
$ xpm2asus_oled pictures/logos/128x32_archlinux-logo1.xpm
$ xpm2asus_oled --output ansi pictures/logos/128x32_archlinux-logo1.xpm
$ xpm2asus_oled --help
I hope that I've introduced the utilities for you and awaken your interest in this otherwise useless little display with a neat ASUS-logo on it.
Now get on to it and create some awesome logos and animations for us all to use.
I will update this utility every now and then, and hopefully include some of your animations with the package.

Due to this problem affects ubuntu and arch I suppose that there is a problem in kernel (or in my laptop, but with 2.6.30 works fine). I would report this to kernel bugs but I don't know how. Thanks

[SOLVED] Kernel Bug on CIFS.umount

Hello there,
my PC's been haunted by this for at least a year, I suspect it has something to do with removed support for '_netdev' mount options in cifs mounts,
anyways
1. what is the/a appropriate way to mount and umount a samba share on startup/shutdown using a persistent wired ethernet connection
2. does this kernel bug log mean anything to anyone (esp why is the sound timer involved ?) http://pastebin.com/tuxZse6z
thx

right now I have a network share in fstab
fstab:
//40.40.0.4/SHARE /media/SHARE cifs defaults,_netdev,iocharset=utf8,rw,exec,workgroup=GUILD 0 0
rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal fam network @opennptd @acpid @sshd @netfs @crond @cpufreq @alsa @cups @actkbd)
it mounts correctly but fails to umount on reboot/shutdown
@Zariel: does backgrounding apply to shutdown(umount) also ?

Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
* Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
* NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

[SOLVED] SATA not working on Macbook Pro 7.1, (kernel bug 15923)

I ran into this bug while trying to install Arch as a single-os install on my new 13'' Macbook Pro 7.1:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15923
It appears there is a problem with the current kernel and the MCP89 chipset so SATA is not recognized. There is a patch out but it still leaves ahci disabled and therefore NCQ causing slow performing harddisks.
I am wondering what to do. I've never done any kernel patching.
- use an SSD instead of a harddisk because of the lack of NCQ?
- and somehow create a net install with a patched current kernel (and how)?
- or wait for the patch to reach the next version of the Arch install image (How long would that take)?
- perform the install on my other notebook? Would that interfere with EFI partition already on it?
questions questions...

any suggestions?
I know very little about kernel and booting stuff, but this is how I made booting work from memory, in case it helps someone:
- I installed using the archboot cd, using the whole harddisk and chose a MBR partition table (not GPT)
- booted from the archboot cd once more but only did the 'prepare harddisk' part where I only chose the mount points, and exited the menu to shell
- edited /tmp/install/etc/mkinitcpio.conf (on the mounted harddisk) as described above
- I followed the instructions here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Panics for chrooting:
mount -t proc none /tmp/install/proc
mount -t sysfs none /tmp/install/sys
mount --bind /dev /tmp/install/dev
chroot /tmp/install
mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img
exit
sync
reboot
I also chose ext4 for all my partitions. So possibly with a different filesystem the according kernelmodule must be used. I tried the same procedure with a OCZ Vertex 2 ssd by the way but that one fails to boot with errors that are very similar to what's in this bug description.
Some other Macbook Pro 7.1 related things not mentioned in the wiki:
- Sound:
worked after putting this in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
options snd_hda_intel model=mbp55
and blacklisting OSS related modules in /etc/rc.conf:
MODULES=(!snd_pcm_oss !snd_mixer_oss !snd_seq_oss pcspkr hid_apple libphy tg3 snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-codec snd-hda-intel soundcore)
- Backlight and keyboard leds:
install nvidia-bl ( mbp-nvidia-blg doesn't seem to work) from the AUR and follow the instructions in the install messages. Manually adjusting is now possible. For example:
# echo 22000 > /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness
# echo 44000 > /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness
# echo 50 > /sys/class/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
# echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
I couldn't get the 'pommed' package to work, which is supposed to handle all the media keys. With 'xev' I verified that the keys were active without needing any mapping using 'xmodmap'. But since they weren't bound to any particular action I cobbled together a few scripts. They're crude so maybe someone with some actual bash skills can clean these up.
to allow non-root write access to the backlight and keyboard led devices I put this in in /etc/rc.local:
chmod go+w /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness
chmod go+w /sys/class/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
In my desktopenvironment I bound the corresponding media keys to these scripts with 'up', 'down' or 'mute' as arguments
mbp_keyboard_led.sh:
#!/bin/bash

Toshiba 40E200U1 - No sound when connecting laptop with HDMI

Hi,
I have a asus laptop (Windows 7) with an hdmi output. I have used it with several TV's without any problems(Philips and Samsung).
We just bought a Toshiba 40E200U1 and when I connect the laptop I get a picture but no sound. I have configuredthe sound settings to output sound through HDMI.
DVD and Cable box works fine, connected through HDMI, works fine and I have also tried different HDMI inputs onthe TV.
The latest firmware update for the TV is installed.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Any suggestions??

Satellite A505-S6973 - No sound of my laptop speakers

I own an A505-S6973 and today i lost volume on my speakers. When i jack in my headphones i get sound but without the headphones plugged in, I get no sound of my laptop speakers.
I checked device manager for software problems but everything is cleared, also, my volume is fully on.
I attempted a restore, but was unsuccessful, also i tried to uninstall and reinstall value added package but when attempting to launch the software after extracting it an error[0x8146045B] signals itself.
This morning everything seemed to work fine, the only thing i can think of, i removed windows media my network places sharing.
If this is the culprit can someone guide me on how I can re-install it. Also, the value added package issue, is there anything that can be done, because the buttong to enable/disable touchpad when depress nothing happens but if i use the function key with F9 it enables/disables.
I really hope someone can help me, it seems this is an unlucky weekend for me.

As I see, the VAP utility makes problems. The next step I advise you to do a little bit dangerous as you have to remove some elements in registry, but before
1. Make the ,,Hidden Folders,, to be seen. (Control Panel- Appearance and Personalization-Folder Options (click the , show hidden files,, and then choose ,, Show hidden files, folders,, and Apply)
2 Go to C:\Users\, here you should choose your profile name, in my case it ,, jeka,, \AppData\Local\temp\TC20020600B.temp\ Here you should see TVAP folder, remove it completely
3 Run the ,,regedit,, that found in Windows folder. Choose ,, Edit,, -,,Find,, and type in ,,toshiba value added,, In left Column you will see highlighted folder with value like 8FFFC660FB2109346A37579FE5FF81E8, delete it. restart computer.
Then, start Tvap exe, it should work now. But you should be careful working with registry, don't delete anything other

How to get sound when my laptop is hooked to my tv w/hdmi cable?

how to get sound when my laptop is hooked to my tv w/hdmi cable? it's a hd tv and my mac's os 10.6.8

Hi,
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Display Devices - make a note of the hardware listed here i.e. ATI, NVidia or Intel.
Next, connect your notebook via HDMI to your Tv. Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click once ( just to highlight the entry ) the HDMI Output that has the same name as your display adapter and then click the Set Default button - see if you now have audio.

IPhone 4S doesnt show charge symbol and charges very slowly on brand new MacBook Pro. Not recognised by iTunes. Charges fine on Asus laptop. iPod charges fine on Macbook Pro...

Hi!
I'm trying to fix a problem I'm having with my iPhone 4S and MacBook Pro.
I did manage to connect it initially and set it up with XCode as well as iTunes.
Today I have spent two hours trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro and I have so far found the following...
iPod 2G - charges from MacBook Pro, Wall Charger, Asus Laptop (works with both my Apple USB cables)
iPhone 4S - doesnt charge from MacBook Pro, but does from Wall Charger and Asus Laptop
                  - Asus Laptop running Linux Mint recognises the iPhone as a device with 'lsusb' and you can browse photos etc
                  - MacBook Pro doesn't recognise the iPhone as a device with the 'systemprofiler' equivalent of lsusb
                  - Interestingly, despite the charging icon not showing, the iPhone either maintains charge or very, very slowly charges
                     when connected to the MacBook Pro.
Any ideas as to what might be wrong? I've tried both the USB ports on the MacBook Pro and no difference. I've tried the 6 ports
on my old Asus laptop and they all work fine!
Thanks for your help!

OK.. Went to the Apple Store - they could either book an appointment with a Genius.. or send the phone for
testing and repair. Found out I have a 2 year warranty on it so have a year left.
My research has led me to assume that the USB 2.0 function of my iPhone was faulty from the day I got it (it kept disconnecting the reconnecting but transferred data fast), but soon stopped doing that and ran at about 1MB/s - USB 1.1 speed - and has done this ever since.
The MacBook Pro somehow is trying to use the USB2.0 function and is not letting the phone fall back to USB 1.1.
To test my theory I found an old USB 1.1 hub... plugged it into the MacBook Pro... then plugged the iPhone
into that. Job done. Charging fine, recognised every single time I connect, and only took a few secs to send over my XCode app to the phone and runs fine! I guess this works as the hub forces the iPhone and MacBook both to USB1.1 mode which then works fine! Will just use it like this for a few months then send it in at an opportune moment (want to get some apps out before I lose my device for repair for a while!)
I will in the next week or so test my iPhone on my friend's MacBook Pro (we bought them the same day but I didn't get the Retina cos I like to be able to upgrade RAM, Hard Drive, and replace battery when it wears out). I will also test their iPhones on my MacBook Pro to see whether it really is the phone or the MacBook!
PS I will get WiFi Sync running since transferring 60GB of data over USB1.1 won't be fun... will do a full factory reset on the phone just in case there is an issue there - will post results of this too!

I used to sync my ipad on an asus laptop, now I have a Mac mini and want to sync with it. Can I? Can things be transferred from laptop to Mac mini?

I synced my ipad2 with an asus laptop. Now I have a Mac mini that I want to use for syncing and backup. But when I connected my ipad to the Mac mini it said something about the ipad being already synced to another computer and backup is permitted only one computer at a time. How can I transfer my backup to the Mac mini ? And delete my previous (I.e. asus laptop) iTunes backup system?

You don't have to delete anything from the Asus. You can copy your iTunes library from the laptop to the Mac. Read this for more information.

Asus laptop will no longer connect wirelessly to HP printer

My Asus laptop was connected to my HP PhotoSmart 7420 printer, wirelessly with no issues. In the last month, I upgraded my Comcast internet service to the fastest speed Comcast has available. In addition, I replaced my router ( Linksys Model: WRT1900AC) & range extender (NetGear Universal Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender, 4-port Wi-Fi Adapter). Every WiFi related item in my home works much better with the exception of the printer. On my laptop, I removed the HP printer and asked the laptop to search for it to re-install; the laptop indicates "no printers available"? Even my desktop PC sends error messages indicating that the "scan to computer" feature no longer works when, in fact, it does work?
Help!

Hi @TSimo,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I wasn't able to find much on a Photosmart 7420, did you perhaps mean Photosmart 7520?
If that is correct, this may just be a case of needing to reconnect the printer to the wireless network again due to the upgraded router and extender
To do this, please restore the network defaults on the printer (press the wrench on the printer's touch screen, select Wireless, then select Restore Network Defaults, should be the last option) and once that completes go back to the same Wireless menu on the printer and run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer. This will update the connection on the printer itself.
After this completes you will need to remove the driver and re-add it on the computer. How this is done depends on the operating system, so if you're not sure how to remove the driver and re-add it, please let me know which operating system you use and I will get you some instructions
Hope to hear from you soon!
