This is a holder page for a bit more information on the issue but basically Phonon won’t retain it’s settings. The clearchat works fine but Phonon won’t use it by default or hold the priority you give it.

The short answer is to install pavucontrol

sudo apt-get install pavucontrol

Then run pavucontrol and turn your internal mic off and Phonon will then use your USB Clearchat. Enjoy

Debug core dump files:

gdb /usr/bin/php5 /path/to/core.3224


Mass delete core dump files safely.

find . -type f -regex ".*/core\.[0-9]*$" -exec rm -v {} \;


Disable Core dumps system wide

I just bought this laptop yesterday. I’ve just solved issue 1 of 3 (all issues as of 26/7/11)

1. Touchpad isn’t recognised as a touchpad but rather a mouse and so can’t “disable touchpad while typing” causing me to constantly bump it.
2. Suspend / Resume isn’t working.. I will fix this soon (fixed: 26/07/11)
3. Slight high-pitched noise coming from built-in mic. (fixed: 26/07/11)
4. Don’t run ecrypt-fs on your /home partition. It causes a lot of freezing.
5. My grub config now /etc/default/grub now has the following. The semaphore line fixes some small temporary locks in 3D graphics. ie: if you run glxgears and it freezes every 10 seconds or so, the semaphores line fixes that. The pcie_aspm=force switch is supposed to fix the 2.6.38 kernel issue consuming up to 30% more power. I haven’t noticed a great difference though. I get about 4.5 hours of continuous use. Remember to run grub-update after making the changes.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.semaphores=1 pcie_aspm=force"

So, fixing number 1 took a few goes to track down. Basically, the kernel isn’t detecting the Touchpad properly and everything loads as a mouse.

You need to rebuild the mouse kernel module, so combine the steps from this url

but when you get to Step 5, use this patch instead:

wget -O 01elantech_2.6.38.patch https://launchpadlibrarian.net/71387234/01elantech_2.6.38.patch
patch -p1 < 01elantech_2.6.38.patch

You will probably have to: sudo apt-get install gsynaptic also.

Finally, the suspend issue bugged me enough to find an answer. Following the steps in this post to get pm-suspend to finally work did the trick!

ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/

Gives me:


0000:00:1a.0
0000:00:1d.0


Replace below XXXX:XX:XX.X with your
#!/bin/sh
# File: "/etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd".
case "${1}" in
hibernate|suspend)
# Unbind ehci_hcd for first device XXXX:XX:XX.X:
echo -n "XXXX:XX:XX.X" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
# Unbind ehci_hcd for second device XXXX:XX:XX.X:
echo -n "XXXX:XX:XX.X" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
;;
resume|thaw)
# Bind ehci_hcd for first device XXXX:XX:XX.X:
echo -n "XXXX:XX:XX.X" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
# Bind ehci_hcd for second device XXXX:XX:XX.X:
echo -n "XXXX:XX:XX.X" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
;;
esac

And then add

#File: "/etc/pm/config.d/usb3-suspend-workaround".
SUSPEND_MODULES="xhci"
