Upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04

Post by John J. Smith »

I was having connection problems with my fit-PC2 as described in http://fit-pc2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1408, using Ubuntu 9.10. It turns out that changing my BIOS CPU setting to GV3 only (as opposed to Enabled) solved my problems.

However, before I saw that thread, I attempted to fix my problem by upgrading to the latest Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 alpha release. The upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 had some problems. Here are the three major issues that I'm seeing:
  • The IEGD video driver is broken. I had to fall back to the VESA driver in order to get X working. Here is a snippet from Xorg.0.log:

    Code: Select all

    (II) LoadModule: "iegd"
    (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/iegd_drv.so
    dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/iegd_drv.so: undefined symbol: resVgaIoShared
    (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/iegd_drv.so
    (II) UnloadModule: "iegd"
    (EE) Failed to load module "iegd" (loader failed, 7)
    
  • The RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n no longer works. Here is a snippet from dmesg:

    Code: Select all

    [   15.880753] <-- RTMPAllocTxRxRingMemory, Status=0
    [   15.883333] RtmpOSFileOpen(): Error 2 opening /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat

    [   15.888496] !!! rt28xx Initialized fail !!!
    
  • The system will occasionally hang when starting up. These appear to be caused by the plymouth process not responding. I don't think this is a fit-PC2-specific issue, as I saw some bugs on Ubuntu Launchpad related to plymouth hangs in 10.04.
Since I'm using my fit as a headless server using a wired connection, I can actually live with these issues. However, I was wondering if anyone else had tried 10.04? It would be nice to fix these problems and get everything working perfectly. Is there an effort by CompuLab to provide official support for 10.04?
