[19:15] <bentovillage> hi
[19:15] <bentovillage> I am in a live session, about to install. the version is Precise 12.04-5 with the latest available generic kernel
[19:15] <bentovillage> :
[19:16] <bentovillage> "Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-75-generic-pae #110-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 16 19:29:27 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[19:16] <bentovillage> "
[19:16] <bentovillage> and zram-config does not start while booting, although installed in the live
[19:17] <bentovillage> it tries to start, then fails with error in dmesg: "[  126.597100] init: zram-config pre-start process (2021) terminated with status 1"
[19:18] <bentovillage> it's a bit difficult to post a bug report from within a machine which is slow and noisy, and where I don't have my credentials for launchpad. could someone have a look for me, to see if this was reported with this one kernel?
[19:19] <teward> bentovillage: might want to post a general idea of your specs
[19:19] <teward> because if its specs-specific or hardware specific you have a new problem.
[19:20] <bentovillage> this is a Fujitsu Amilo El 6800 with a celeron M 2 Ghz and 1 Gb RAM in two 512 MB modules.
[19:20] <bentovillage> chipset SIS
[19:21] <teward> been an eon since i heard Celeron M
[19:21] <teward> dual core?
[19:21] <bentovillage> not at all
[19:22] <bentovillage> it's an old thingy
[19:22] <teward> so single core 32bit?
[19:22] <teward> egad
[19:22] <bentovillage> yes
[19:22] <teward> as i said, egad
[19:22] <bentovillage> what is that word? first time seen
[19:23] <teward> just an exclamation of surprise
[19:23] <bentovillage> :p
[19:23] <teward> bentovillage: what's your disk size out of curiosity
[19:23] <teward> i'm spinning up a VM with near those specs to try and replicate
[19:23] <bentovillage> it was given for free and will be handed to a woman who does not have means to buy one;
[19:24] <bentovillage> she has very small needs too. just surf the web and watch a few video movies
[19:26] <bentovillage> here is the proc specs: http://pastebin.com/RpKYpd94
[19:27] <teward> well i'll test but not at the moment - heading out to food
[19:27] <bentovillage> (took me all this time to get to post it)
[19:27] <bentovillage> teward, have a nice meal! bon appétit
[19:27] <bentovillage> I'll be back from my other machine with my usual nick "melodie".
[19:27] <bentovillage> here I have to shoot the install
 bentovillage: what's your disk size out of curiosity |  40 GB
[19:37] <bentovillage> I should report one more bug which is in the installer. When the partition isn't marked to be formatted it warns that all directories will be erased, /bin/ /etc and so on. But all has not been erased last time I chose that method (yesterday evening). Instead it merged the Slitaz filesystem and the Ubuntu filesystem, resulting in an un bootable distribution, looking for "Ubuntu with slitaz kernel and modules"
[19:38] <bentovillage> it's not how I do it usually. usually I prepare the partitions with gparted, but there I wanted to try it this way, to see how it would go.
[19:50] <melodie> hi
[20:50] <teward> bentovillage: i believe that's just the warning in place for reasons
[20:51] <teward> i don't ahve a 12.04 image here so i ahve to download before i can test
[20:51] <teward> melodie: ^
[20:52] <teward> melodie: although Lubuntu is a lighter choice
[20:53] <melodie> Bento is even lighter :D
[20:54] <teward> heh
[20:54] <melodie> http://phillw.net/isos/bento-ubuntu-remix/bento-i686-pae/readme.txt
[20:54] <teward> but is that an official variant ;)
[20:54] <melodie> it's as good as an official one though because using official sources to build
[20:55] <melodie> official packages I mean
[20:55] <melodie> few exceptions : a ppa for libreoffice, another one for pcmanfm, the basis is the same though
[20:56] <melodie> it is more than two years old now, and tested
[20:57] <melodie> I mean the project started in 2012, summer, and had many new updated versions since with corrections and fine tuning
[20:57] <melodie> it is presented here, btw: http://linuxvillage.org/en/2013/11/bento-ubuntu-remix-rc/
 bentovillage: i believe that's just the warning in place for reasons | it's not. the zram-config service is supposed to be started during boot time, which makes the live easier to install on old machines.
[20:59] <melodie> if the installed version keeps the zram-config package after install (which lubuntu doesn't) then zram-config should also work once installed : which it does not with this one kernel.
[21:00] <melodie> there has been bug reports last year, with another kernel version, about zram-config not being started. and was solved. it seems it's back with some of the kernel versions.
[21:01] <melodie> I'll seek the LP bug section to find some
[21:02] <melodie> here:
[21:02] <melodie> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zram-config/
[21:02] <melodie> that's not a bug, it's a collection. /o\
[21:03] <melodie> overwhelming. :-(
[21:12] <melodie> teward what do you think you could do? Do you deal with the bug reports?
[21:24] <bentovillage> teward, install is finished here, I'm leaving this one session
[21:24] <bentovillage> if needed I can be back here for information on the post install behavior, just let me know?
