1180:0822 SD Card Reader Incomplete / Corrupt Files

[martin]

HP Pavillion dv6720ez Laptop with built-in SD (and multi-) card reader.

SD card reader displays incomplete or corrupted files. Eg, jpgs shown as random coloured thumbnail or random characters. Some files are not displayed at all. Some files are correctly displayed. Also 'Error interpreting JPEG file (Bogus DQT index 15)' and 'Error interpreting JPEG file (JPEG datastream contains no image)'

Opening an affected file (if you can see it) does not work. Different error messages occur - 'could not open file' or 'type not supported' 'could not display' etc. Some correctly displayed files also yield these messages.

Ejecting the card usually results in Nautilus closing/crashing. In some cases browsing the file structure or attempting to open some files also crashes Nautilus. When it closes there is no prompt for bug report.

The card reader was a problem a couple of years ago (8? Series of Ubuntu) on my HP Laptop - simply didn't work at all but since Karmic/Lucid it's worked flawlessly.

The bug is present in 10.10 and 11.04 (no change or improvement). 10.04 works perfectly.

Not having the Nautilus crashing problem anymore (in 11.10) and haven't seen the randomly coloured thumbnails (as shown in screenshot from bug report 649912.

Tested kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-rc1-precise/
Bug persists.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Halkola (halkola)]

This bug affects also me. I have HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop with a builtin card reader. I have some garbled filenames and all the images on the card are corrupted.

"lspci | grep -i sd" brings up the following
07:05.1 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 22)

Please ask if there is any futher information I can provide. I'm stuck with 10.04 because of this bug. The good news is that it is working well for me.

Thanks!

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

This bug is missing log files needed to help diagnose your issue. Please open a terminal run 'apport-collect 875927' to attache the logs. After doing this, change the status of the bug to Confirmed. Thanks!

I think I might have just done something rather silly. I ran the apport-collect on a new boot without having used the SD card before. Seth, tell me if I should redo it again after having inserted an SD card.

Cheers,

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.

[Halkola (halkola)]

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm unfamiliar with apt-get and the new gui tools. Could you tell me how to install the latest development kernel? Thanks!

[Halkola (halkola)]

I didn't manage to find 3.0.0-12.20, but I downloaded 3.0.6-030006 and 3.1.0-0301rc9 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com and installed those. They both behave identically to my previous kernel 3.0.0-12.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

If you are comfortable with opening a bug upstream, It would be great if you can report back the upstream bug number in this bug report. That will allow us to link this bug to the upstream report.

[Halkola (halkola)]

I get timed out at bugzilla.kernel.org. At www.kernel.org it is also mentioned that bugzilla is for reporting kernel version 2.6 bugs only. Do you know if there is an alternative way to report bugs? Thanks!

[martin (braaart)]

I can confirm that this bug still exists!

I am beta testing version 12.04 and the behaviour is exactly the same as in 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

martin, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

[martin (braaart)]

Tested with upstream kernel (3.3.0-999) and bug still present. Couple more screenshots attached of typical behaviour. Files/Directories arre not only corrupted but many more are displayed than are actually present.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

martin, clease execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:
apport-collect 875927

As well, since you mentioned this worked in Lucid but not afterwards, a kernel bisect would need to occur to identify the offending commit. Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

[martin (braaart)]

Upstream kernel (3.3.0-999) testing complete and bug behaviour same.

Apport-collect started and opened launchpad but had errors (see screenshot).

[martin (braaart)]

Kernel bisect I am unable to do.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

martin, could you please test http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-rc1-precise/ ?

[martin (braaart)]

Tested kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-rc1-precise/
Bug persists.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

martin, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions verbatim at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

[martin (braaart)]

Bug filed in upstream kernel bugs:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43101

[martin (braaart)]

Ok, we've established it's a kernel bug. Here's the response from Kernel Bug Tracker – Bug 43101 ( https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43101 )

''Comment #3 From Alan 2012-09-05 16:35:54

kernel bugzilla is just used to track bug existence for the most part not for
getting stuff fixed necessarily. If you want stuff fixed that's something to
talk to your distribution about

Moved to MMC/SD''

Seems to be going round in a bit of a circle.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

martin, could you please boot into the Ubuntu repo kernel and execute the following at a terminal:
apport-collect 875927

As well, could you please test the newest mainline kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.7-rc1-quantal/ ?

[martin (braaart)]

Unfortunately the Quantal 3.5.0-15 kernel is unusable on my machine. Basically no useful mouse response so can't open/execute anything. I can move between the icons on the LHS but can't select anything (nor with key strokes). Therefore no apport-collect possible. I've attached a screenshot of the behaviour when I insert an SD card - basically just nonsense.

The newest mainline kernel runs fine but the SD card reader behaviour (ie. everything described in the bug report) is the same.

I guess I'll try again when the 12.10 distribution is released.

Please let me know other actions to try.

[martin (braaart)]

I can try an apport-collect on the Ubuntu kernel 3.2 from release 12.04 if that helps.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

martin, regarding your comments https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/875927/comments/45 :
>"I can try an apport-collect on the Ubuntu kernel 3.2 from release 12.04 if that helps."

The above is the apport-collect for 13.04 Beta 2.

Exactly the same bug behaviour.

It is clear the bug started with the release of version 10.10 and has remained unchanged ever since. What ever was changed then persists into the 13.04 release.

HEY, is there anybody out there with a bit of intuition and creativity? It can't be that hard to solve.

If it were a Windows problem you would simply install a new driver. How do 'drivers' work in Linux? Are they embedded bits of code in the distribution?

Ideas?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

martin, thank you for performing the requested apport-collect. Could you please provide the specific laptop model from the sticker on the computer itself?

As well, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the mainline kernels archive directory daily folder. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.9-rc6

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Chris, the laptop model is (HP Pavillion) dv6720ez

The bug seems to affect, but is not limited to, HP laptops (presumably with JMicron Technology Corp. SD/MMC Host Controllers).

I tested the mainline kernel (v3.9-rc7-raring - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-rc7-raring/) and the bug persists.

Let me know if you need more info.

martin, as per http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=2100&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3658235#N978 an update is available for your BIOS (F.34). If you update to this, does it change anything?

[martin (braaart)]

Hi Chris, thanks for the link.

Unfortunately I have a pure Ubuntu install, so I can't boot into Vista/run updates anymore.

Unless there's another way to work with the exe file - emulator etc - don't think so in this case.

I am not prepared to re-install windows for this test as that's something I vowed never do again unless my life depended on it.

Let me know if there are any work arounds I should try.

[Halkola (halkola)]

Hi Chris and Martin,

I just installed the new BIOS F.34. I had F.30 before. The update didn't
help although F.31 and F.32 fix some issues related to the card reader. On
an uptodate Ubuntu 13.04 the card cannot be read at all, my dmesg is filled
with messages like:

[ 986.238026] mmcblk0: retrying using single block read

The dmesg buffer is filled with this error so I don't know what other
errors there might be.

Unfortunately I do not know if things would have been different with the
old BIOS.

I have several peripherals that do not work in Linux
(printer,scanner,ipod,card reader) and after a long break with Linux I have
again installed Ubuntu 13.04. If I can help somehow I would be happy to do
so.

Cheers,

Aleksi

Hi Chris,

I have already commented on this bug (comment #3). From Ubuntu version 10.04 on I have had corrupted files on my HP dv6000 series laptop. Since Martin couldn't update his BIOS I thought I would do that. Now either because of the BIOS update or Ubuntu update I no longer see the corrupted files / filenames I used to have but the errors in me previous post. In any case I still think it is the same bug. Do you still want me to open a new bug for the new BIOS version?

Cheers,
Aleksi

[Halkola (halkola)]

I have made a new bug report #1180500 to address the issue after BIOS upgrade.

[Halkola (halkola)]

The error messages I reported in comment #82 come only with one SD card. Two other SD cards work normally on several tested Ubuntu releases (10.04, 10.10, 11.10 and 13.04). The fix therefore is to upgrade the BIOS to version F.34.

[Halkola (halkola)]

Update BIOS to version F.34.

[martin (braaart)]

That's a great development after all this time!

Can anyone tell me how to update the BIOS without a dual Windows boot (pure Ubuntu system)?

[martin (braaart)]

Hi Aleksi

Can you (or anyone else) tell me how to do the BIOS flash?

I've tried using FreeDOS on a live USB stick install and that in itself works fine. You can navigate around in a DOS environment but when I try to run the HP BIOS file SP52477.exe it says the file cannot be run in a DOS environment.

Does this mean I have to re-install WIndows on my machine first? I don't think I want to go down that road..

Thanks, Martin

BTW, for anyone interested: I've tested heaps (10 plus) different (recent) distros from all the main Linux flavours and the bug always persists.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

martin, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate .

[Halkola (halkola)]

Hi Martin,

Unfortunately I cannot help with freeDOS. I kept a Vista installation which I could use for the update. After the upgrade I haven't had any problems though. I hope you find a solution for the upgrade.

Cheers,
Aleksi
