Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

Please note that John Lewis added to his custom firmware script an option to only update BOOT_STUB part of the firmware (in comparison to flashing the full firmware).
BOOT_STUB updating is the first option in the script (write_boot_stub function).
This method supposed to be safer (not sure why, disabling wp still required).

It's not clear yet if suspend working when choosing this method (VMX probably not supported), John posted that he will update when he'll get more feedback from users.

Thanks, I am afraid it's going to be the latter  - the usb 2.0 port works even worse. It seems like a such a small delicate device.  And I suppose there is no workaround for low current...

@gothmog: you can try using a powered hub, although that seems a little extreme. What happened to your internal one? Your dongle might be out of spec, might be easier to get another one.

I need to use an external one because of an irrelevant reason. I'm trying to get wifi from across the street which means i need to use external directional antennas, and those only hook up to external long range adapters.

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

@gothmog123: hmm, I wonder if the two ath9ks are interferring with each other. Have you tried removing the internal one? (I know it sounds really drastic, but it might be the way to diagnose the real origin of the problem). Although I still feel like it might be a power issue. You can (before disassembling your C720) try using a powered usb hub and see what happens.

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

Hi all -
I seem to be suffering the dreaded battery discharge issue - went on holiday for a week and forgot it was sleeping rather than powered off.
I have a lot of data on there I need to retrieve!
I've tried to follow the instructions here - http://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/dev … n-dev-mode

I have the .bin file and have written it to USB stick. It's when I get to the part about clearing flag bits that I hit a problem.
My partition table looks like so:

GNU Parted 3.2

So I'm calling the enable_rw_mount script like so:

[root@me stuff]# ./enable_rw_mount.sh /dev/sdb 146800640
enable_rw_mount called on non-ext2 filesystem: /dev/sdb 146800640

But when I try to mount the partition I get an error message:

[root@me stuff]# mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb3,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.

dmesg tells me:

[60100.978475] Alternate GPT is invalid, using primary GPT.
[60100.978494]  sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 sdb4 sdb5 sdb6 sdb7 sdb8 sdb9 sdb10 sdb11 sdb12

[60260.548575] EXT4-fs (sdb3): couldn't mount RDWR because of unsupported optional features (ff000000)

I guess the enable_rw_mount script is not working somehow, but I don't know how to diagnose or where to look for more info.
Will be very grateful for any tips or suggestions please!
Thanks all --

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

Is there anyboy else having issues with their HDMI output after upgrading their system? My HDMI output was working fine this morning, but stopped working after I performed a full system upgrade. I have tried downgrading cinnamon, xorg packages and kernel without any luck.

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

Recently, X.Org has been quite unstable on my C720p, crashing at least once every other day. I think it has to do with the new Intel driver, though I could be wrong, though that was what I remember getting updated before the issue arouse.

EDIT: The s*** stopped hitting the fan, and Chrome Unstable is shockingly more stable than Chrome Beta, though I updated X.Org and changed Chrome channels around the same time, so I don't know which was the solution. Although I had to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf to re-disable screen blanking after the update

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

Also experiencing some X issues here since last packages update, I wasn't sure who's to blame as I only noticed it affecting Chromium so far and I'm also on kernel 4.2.0 RC.
Didn't had the time to debug it yet or report to freedesktop but there's definitely a bug.

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

I've gotten X.Org to crash when playing 720p60fps video from YouTube on Google Chrome Beta (google-chrome-beta 44.0.2403.89-1). I've also gotten some weird glitchiness when playing a 720p60fps video from Twitch in mpv (After downloading it using youtube-dl, though if you fed it the Source quality URL from youtube-dl into mpv, it'd probably do the same thing.), though the weird thing is that it showed up in a screenshot, which I didn't expect to actually show this issue. As a sidenote, I currently am not able to reproduce the second issue, though I will post another screenshot if I can get the issue to reoccur.

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

I seem to be having issues with my brand-new C720P.

Installed arch about 3 hours ago on the unit, and I'm unable to use the trackpad. was definitely working in chromeOS. I've installed xf86-input-cmt-xorg, and am not getting any response from the trackpad. dmesg doesn't show anything being loaded, nor does lsusb (one would assume the trackpad would show up). dmidecode does provide output:

Handle 0x0007, DMI type 41, 11 bytes
Onboard Device
        Reference Designation: trackpad
        Type: Other
        Status: Enabled
        Type Instance: 37
        Bus Address: 0001:67:00.0

but nothing is using the cmt driver. Xorg.0.log was showing it being loaded and being used by a 2.4ghz wireless mouse I had plugged in, but not for the trackpad, which isn't being found. touchscreen works (but sucks), so it just looks like the script in xorg.conf.d/ not being able to match to a device.

both the user and gdm/sddm (tried both) are members of input group, so I don't think that's the issue. journalctl showed nothing mentioning "cmt" either.

any help would be very appreciated. I'll post any outputs needed. Thanks in advance.

xf86-input-cmt problems

I thought all issues had been fixed - in fact I recently reinstalled to enable system encryption and all I had to do was install xf86-input-cmt-xorg(xf86-input-cmt AUR4) and run usermod -a -G input j.

Hope its not an issue with the C720P although other users mentioned it working.

Could you use gdm for debugging as it provides verbose output by default without changing the log level.

Check this is here (note to self check if 20-touchscreen.conf needs to be symlinked for C720P users)

This should be Peppy, I don't think the touchscreen version has a different product name

# dmidecode | grep "Product Name"

Your user should be part of the input group

$ groups 

Need to use GDM for this one

$ journalctl -b | grep cyapa

Hopefully you should see a bunch of ouput including:

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

joebonrichie, I think you meant to quote porphyry5 or jason.oliveira, the touchpad on my C720p never once gave me any issues throughout the past 5 months I've owned it. wink

I find it odd that dmidecode finds the trackpad, but nothing else does.

any other ideas? I'm getting a little worried about this unit, as the trackpad worked fine before the switch.
I have not done a full firmware replacement on this system yet (only the BOOT_STUB). could that be part of the issue?
[EDIT: did full firmware replacement anyway. no change.]
Could this somehow be hardware?
Thanks for the help.

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

@jason.oliveira: have you tried the synaptics driver instead? That will at least allow you to test whether your trackpad is working.

By the way, for those experiencing the kswapd0 thrashing, any solution for it? I have tried zram and zswap+regular swap, but to no avail.  kswapd0 will just come and start eating up the cycles in my CPU (100% on one). Renice'ing it to 19, kinda helps, but not entirely. Any ways around it?

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

@nariox synaptics driver gives no input as well. Trackpad was working perfectly until I installed Arch.
I may try an ubuntu boot disk to see if it's an arch problem only.

I take it all back, my SSD has died half way into my vacation.. I'm currently running arch from a usb stick. sad I just got back, so i'll soon send this device back to ADATA. I'm just wondering why SSD's keep failing on our device, any idea?

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

Ubuntu does not have trackpad functionality either. Does this mean my trackpad is dead? It shows up in dmidecode, but nowhere else.

It's possible your cable is loose inside. You could try opening your C720 and reconnecting the cable and maybe cleaning the contacts.

Did it die completely or did it start corrupting? It's possible that a firmware update would help. (that's what did it to my MyDigitalSSD)

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

@nariox : 
the system first kernel panic'd when in use;
then the drive wouldn't boot;
at that time I managed to get a little bit of data of the drive booting a arch live iso and mounting it read only (mostly pictures and some dotfiles) but when copying, the drive would sometimes die;
i did a fsck on the drive but that had no effect; also spit out I/O errors.
i've got a kernel panic / output captured from my mobile > https://imgur.com/jgSGmsI
so after a while it completely died.

ps. for the slight chance it isn't dead, i might try the drive on my SATA/M.2 adapter this weekend, before i send it in.

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

@LeoFa: hmm, seems similar to what I had when my SSD failed (before the firmware update). Are you using ext4? What about discard?

My guess is that these SSDs might have been released with faulty firmware. In addition to that, there were some reports of some SSDs failing when TRIM was enabled.

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

@nariox: don't know if it matters but it was ext4 with no encryption and i believe i had fstrim on a systemd timer, i have had btrfs xfs and f2fs before i settled with plain old ext4 again.

Re: Acer C720/C720P Chromebook

My terminal just freezes at random. Locally, I use termite, but when I SSH to my C720P I mostly use putty or xterm, it happens with every terminal emulator I've tried so far.

Unfortunately, I have no idea where to go from here, besides stracing the process (http://sprunge.us/YijG & http://sprunge.us/TaRb). I can't find anything related with journalctl either... I've removed the screw on the motherboard and boot to SeaBIOS by default, but I don't think  that matters.

Let us know what ADATA tells you. (Were you able to recover anything from the external enclosure?) Hopefully a firmware update solves our problem.

@ihre: does the terminal freeze, but the C720 continues to be responsive, or does the C720 also freeze? Are you using ps_enable=1 on the ath9k?
