Acer E525 Emachine laptop loses B43 wireless with Saluki 0.14

Geoffrey. Could you track with dmesg the wireless loading rows. There should be errors of driver loading or firmware loading or the right firmware is not found.

Post all those rows concerning wireless in dmesg. There arent too many of them.

The Firefox-11.0.pet from http://www.smokey01.com/Tman/apps/firefox/ is running well for me in Saluki for me so far. (works in Exprimo too, Pemasu..but I know you like to add your own version). This version feels a bit faster than previous Firefox versions

DaveS, thanks for the fontfix pet. It makes fonts in firefox much nicer.

pemasu,

Here are the two dmesg print outs, one before I created a save file and one after, they are the complete list as I didn't know which may be relevant.

there is also listed the acpi_osi=Linux comand as it appears there is a bug in the firmware for the video with Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset.

if you see the driver in the after save, that's because I manually loaded it in a attempt to get it to work

014
first all the scrollable windows in my opera ( opera-11.62-1332.i386.linux with current latest flashplayer) browser tabs auto scrolled themselves to the bottom of the page and stubbornly refused to scroll up again, closed browser. restarted browser. still happening close browser again. the non working desktop link to opera is flickering by itself.
try to restart computer, and all menu entries are highlighting themselves, going at speed from top to bottom and then start at the top and highlight again in rotation down to the bottom.
try to click when it is highlighting shutdown but fail to get it to initiate shutdown. hard poweroff. reboot and everything is back to normal. only happened once. all opera tabs were at news.com.au strange behavior started at the wikileaks oz senate bid page.

Geoffrey. I dont see anything wrong with this information.

Saluki uses b43 firmwares for kernels above 3.2.0. There is now much more of them. But I cant see error with loading it.

pemasu,

Ok, it did say it wasn't loaded after I made a save file and rebooted, I tried reloading it but it just don't work, strange that it works with 0.13 every time yet only with 0.14 on first boot before making a save.

I'll see if I can use a 0.13 save and let it update with 0.14 to see if it keeps it settings, I don't know what else to try, I've been through this three times to check and get the same result every time.

I'll try it on one of the other laptops to be sure that it isn't a hardware fault, but I'm guessing the result will be identical.

Geoffrey. I think you should use Frisbee in build wireless diagnostics and create the diagnostig tarball and post it for inspecting. Jim1911 wireless problem was fixed by Jemimah with that information.

This problem MAY be related to the FirstRUN dialog.

@Jeminah see a PM to you.

Geoffrey · #1886 Post by **Geoffrey** » Mon 19 Mar 2012, 00:39

I've done a upgrade from 0.13 to 0.14 on the Acer E525, the result is the same no network detected, but this time dmesg gives a list of errors that may tell where the problem is, hope this helps

Also another thing, the webcam doesn't display an image, the last version I had installed that it worked in was 0.11

Don't know about the pet, as I did an online update, but downloading with the DownloadThemAll plugin through 11 is seriously faster than it was through 10.0.2. using the same plugin to the same sites.

However I am getting a number of unwanted '404' screens that immediately dissapear on a reload with 11.0. and yes, it does seem to start displaying the new screen faster.

The game Enemy territory is in the sfs downloads and it appears the id serverlist hasn't been accessible since January.

If you have downloaded the game then if you add the code below to the end of /etc/hosts then the game servers will show.

Code: Select all

On resume following suspend, one of my laptops has no video display. How might I try to de-bug this?
A hard restart is currently the only way out.
