[Hardware Certification] Release Meeting 2012-08-17

[Daniel Manrique]

=== What was done engineering wise? ===

Quantal Alpha 3 testing still underway; a handful of systems that were blocked
by an Atheros-related bug can now be tested since the bug was fixed (though they
need to be tested with daily images as the fix is not in A3). Thanks!

=== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? ===

Nothing of note

=== Release Notes ===

None.

=== Summary of bugs working on by team ===

The following bugs are blocking certification of systems with Precise (* means
new to the report):

1025438 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025438> [HP Workstation z420, Z820]:
This was duped: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/915265 and seems to be fixed, we
need to test and report back on it.

1028554 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1028554> [HP Workstation Z820, Z420]:
System cannot use display port through Nvidia card

Looks like an issue with NVidia drivers, bug moved to the appropriate package,
we're on standby on this one.

1028513 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1028513> [HP Workstation Z820]:
Workstation becomes unresponsive during cpu stress test

Mainline kernel tests are being done to find good/bad points to start a
bisection process.

1029101 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029101> [eMachines ER-1401-57] - Fails
suspend

Description was updated but no clear indication of whether the requested
mainline kernel tests were performed. Certification to  follow up with the cert
engineer to see what the status is on this one.

1020835 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1020835> Can't
search Bluetooth device on Atheros 9485

Needs testing the suggested kernel with SRUed fix, failing that, needs upstream
testing.

1016195 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1016195> [Dell Latitude E6220] Crashes
or exits with signal 9 when under heavy load (TOP PRIORITY)

Still retesting, as the behavior seems to have changed after a reinstall. Flaky
hardware may be to blame.

992603 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/992603> [Lenovo E525] Touchpad can
become disabled after suspend/resume

Need to test some of the upstream kernels with fglrx installed to see if it
helps the resume issue. Fglrx seems uncooperative, will report back once we
coerce it into installing.

994274 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994274> [Lenovo SL410] Mute button
requires you to hit a volume button

This is found to be a duplicate of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/595896

994685 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994685> [Dell Inspiron 17] Headphone
jack outputs no sound (TOP PRIORITY)

Certification to retest and see if it can pass certification now.

994790 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994790> [Dell XT3] Firewire does not work

Needs testing with latest 3.6-series upstream kernel.

994809 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994809> [Dell XT3] Wi-fi slider doesn't
remove hard block from wi-fi device

Hasn't been tested with the upstream kernel yet, but is the same system as above.

978929 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978929> [Lenovo Thinkpad T420]  SD
Card-reader non functional

This is an upstream issue and we opened
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43370. However we have a growing
suspicion that the card reader is actually broken on this system.

990575 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990575> Entire desktop becomes
unresponsive after suspend/resume (TOP PRIORITY)

Certification to test some mainline kernels to determine the first bad kernel.

1002703 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002703> Broadcom STA driver can't
install on systems

Bug still occurs with -updates. Installing headers and brcmwl-kernel-source
leads to wireless working

1014744 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014744> [Lenovo Thinkpad SL510] Mute
buttons don't work

This has also been marked as a duplicate of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/595896

1008867 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008867> can't wake up from suspend

We need to test mainline kernels.

992720 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/992720> [Lenovo E420s] Hitting
brightness keys causes machine to lock up

Bisection process is ongoing on this one.

759213 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/759213> [HP Compaq 6005 Pro] Suspend
does not resume

We need to open an upstream bug.

1012740 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012740> [Dell Latitude E6410] Becomes
unresponsive after suspending/resuming several times

Still testing hand spun test kernels to pinpoint the faulty commit. Behavior is
pretty consistent on this one so should yield good results.

1002170 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1002170> system
halted while idled for a long time.

Being worked on and upstream bug exists and has been linked

1009585 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1009585> [Dell Vostro 460]: System is
unresponsive after Unity login screen.

We need to follow up on request to test a handspun kernel.

992087 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/992087> [Vostro 3450] No sound from
internal speakers

We need to raise an upstream bug and still need to test with a certified release
(11.04), to confirm it's not a hardware issue (machine may have broken since
being certified with 11.04).

=== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items? ===


1023486 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1023486>
Cannot resolve domain names if eth0 is in /etc/network/interfaces

This is marked as fix released, we will test whether the workaround is no longer
needed, hopefully this one won't be in the report next week \o/

=== Issues? ===

None

Thanks!
