[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

please describe in more detail what you were doing when the problem occurred.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

Setting to confirmed status due to numerous reports. I will try to test karmic on my 1005P soon. For those affected, please try to describe more about when this error happens. It seems that for many the keyboard stops working after the error has occured? Is this only in karmic?

Please test http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook-remix/daily-live/current/lucid-netbook-i386.metalink (download with aria2c and write to a USB stick with unetbootin). Would be interesting to know if lucid is affected as well.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso.torrent is the torrent for the current karmic Ubuntu Netbook Remix live CD. Please test that as well.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

FWIW, my 1005p doesn't seem to have this problem with either the lucid and karmic netbook remix live CD. Can you provide a test case?

[IDZignIt (threedzign)]

I have the 1005PEB. I'm running live CD.
The keyboard doesn't even work on it.
I have it hooked to an external DVD drive.
It is quite unpleasant, tough to navigate, I noticed also the built in Cam doesn't work also.
Ethernet seems to work but not WiFi.

[aperez (aperez-disca)]

Hi,

I installed 9.10-remix, keyboard blocks, kernel paging oops apeared & no
wifi. In live mode no problems with the keyboard, but kernel paging
problems & no wifi still there.

I installed 9.10-desktop. The same problems appeared. Starting in
recovery mode I have terminal access, that is keyboard works, but kernel
oops & no wifi continue. I upgrade to kernel version 2.6.31-17 with
wireless-backport package and still no wifi and kernel oops still there.
If at this moment I try to start gdm, X starts but keyboard & pointer
blocks.

I installed 9.4-remix. Keyboard is OK but no wifi or ethernet.

I will try the distros you propose ...

Bests,

Alberto.

Some news.

I installed distro from lucid-netbook-i386.iso on my 1005p.
Keyboard/pointer are OK, no kernels ooops but wifi still doesn't work.
After lspci my wifi card is,

    02.00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Devide 002c
(rev 10)

but no trace of it in dmesg. A minor issue now is that no info about
battery state appears.

It's almost working ...

Bests,

Alberto.

aperez, good to hear (although I would be hesitant to install some random wifi driver off the net, the homepage is not official Atheros!)

Anybody else still seeing Oopses?

[Bernhard Reiter (ockham-razor)]

Hi, Karmic 64bit here on a 1005P.
As for keyboard and touchpad: even after a bios upgrade, they strangely and reproducibly only work if the laptop was separated from power when switched on...

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

Bernhard, I've only tried 32bit. Frankly, I was surprised to hear this is 64 bit hardware, but you are right, it is. Still, what benefits do you expect? I'm not very familiar with 64 bit vs. 32 bit, but a bit of research seems to indicate you aren't likely to see an improvement. Please try the 32 bit version, but if you insist on 64 bit, please open a separate ticket for it. The OP was using 32 bit.

To wrap up, it seems that most people get a working system without the problems initially described if they update the BIOS and run the daily UNR lucid live CD. Please report back if that is not the case.

Wifi is a separate issue, let's deal with the keyboard problems and kernel oopses only in this ticket. Missing support for the new wifi chipset has already been reported upstream, patch is available and reported as working, so we can expect a working kernel soon. Lucid kernel may have to be patched from upstream, though. Once it becomes clear if that is indeed the case, I will open a separate ticket.
