| infinitebagels | Heyt | 14:06 |
|---|---|---|
| infinitebagels | I just installed Lubuntu 14.04 LTS on my Thinkpad T420 and now my batterylife is shit. | 14:07 |
| infinitebagels | is it safe to install laptop-mode-tools? | 14:07 |
| infinitebagels | I'm just updating my laptop right now | 14:08 |
| leszek | infinitebagels: yeah you can do so | 14:09 |
| infinitebagels | leszek, is there any better packages for power managment for Thinkpads? | 14:10 |
| leszek | I am also using this on my t420 and I am quite happy about it | 14:12 |
| leszek | the only thing I also installed was the fan control | 14:12 |
| leszek | and tweaked it a little | 14:12 |
| infinitebagels | leszek, so just laptop-mode-tools and the fan control | 14:13 |
| infinitebagels | leszek, how's your battery life? | 14:14 |
| infinitebagels | I just made the jump from Debian Jessie to Lubuntu LTS | 14:14 |
| infinitebagels | I had 8+ hours before | 14:14 |
| leszek | Yeah around 6-8 hours | 14:14 |
| infinitebagel | Sorry about that | 14:16 |
| infinitebagel | I had a bunch of IO errors after installing system updates and not rebooting :p | 14:16 |
| infinitebagel | I'm getting sh: echo: I/O Error | 14:17 |
| infinitebagel | and google says it might be my SSD is dying... fuck me. | 14:19 |
| infinitebagel | leszek, | 14:20 |
| infinitebagel | So it seems like the setup script for laptop-mode-tools in 14.04 LTS is broken | 14:21 |
| infinitebagel | yep | 14:23 |
| infinitebagel | Scaling is working on my proccessor now | 14:24 |
| infinitebagel | if I find any method of squeezing more battery life out I'll write a java app to automate it for other Lubuntu users | 14:24 |
| infinitebagel | For anyone having sh echo io error with laptop-mode-tools, just manually do the "echo ondemand \> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor | 14:24 |
| infinitebagel | " command | 14:24 |
| infinitebagel | It will set the scaling to work. You might want to also sync it after. | 14:25 |
| hateball | infinitebagel: is this a new install, on your SSD? | 14:25 |
| infinitebagel | yes | 14:25 |
| hateball | infinitebagel: is it a samsung 8xx ssd? | 14:25 |
| infinitebagel | Kingston SSD Now! | 14:25 |
| hateball | hmmm | 14:25 |
| infinitebagel | 120gb | 14:25 |
| infinitebagel | The only samsung SSD I would buy is the 850 | 14:25 |
| infinitebagel | I also have an ADATA 128gb MSATA in this laptop :) | 14:26 |
| hateball | Very well, it could have the same issue I guess. See #1 here http://www.howtoeverything.net/linux/hardware/ubuntu-freeze-issue-after-ssd-upgrade | 14:26 |
| infinitebagel | I'm not getting any freezing | 14:27 |
| infinitebagel | Only laptop-mode-tools has spat up this error | 14:27 |
| hateball | Yeah well, nothing bad happens if you try it. But it's up to you | 14:28 |
| hateball | For me, my drive would work well at times, then randomly crap out, etc | 14:28 |
| infinitebagel | My drive locked up hard yesterday | 14:29 |
| infinitebagel | I also had FDE enabled. | 14:29 |
| infinitebagel | Anything else I should install on my laptop? :p | 14:30 |
| hateball | Well, try that kernel parameter before you suffer data loss is my suggestion | 14:30 |
| infinitebagel | hateball, It's been working perfectly without any dataloss | 14:31 |
| infinitebagel | (I came from debian, from 7) | 14:32 |
| infinitebagel | either way I'm not worried about dataloss, the issue only arose with laptop-mode-tools | 14:34 |
| infinitebagel | I'll try installing another package and seeing | 14:34 |
| infinitebagel | no error | 14:40 |
| Dirkson | Hey all. I have a lubuntu 13.whatever computer in front of me. How do I upgrade to a more recent version of lubuntu? | 22:52 |
| Unit193 | !eolupgrades | 22:53 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 22:53 |
| Dirkson | Unit193: Thanks for the link. There's a lot of fluff on that page, and it leaves some crucial information out - Is it telling me to upgrade the kernel specifically, reboot, (Although it doesn't mention that) then do a dist-upgrade and a do-release-upgrade? | 22:58 |
| Unit193 | I didn't check myself recently, I'd guess sed on sources.list until you get to 14.04, then do-release-upgrade unless you want to stick on LTS. | 22:59 |
| Unit193 | Personally, I'd try to clean up afterwards too. | 23:00 |
| Dirkson | Unit193: The linked page definitely doesn't suggest any manual sources.list changes | 23:02 |
| Unit193 | dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obso to see obsolete files, apt list | grep installed,loc to see packages installed locally but no longer downloadable, and then deborphans to check and see what some packages you may be able to remove. | 23:02 |
| Unit193 | Dirkson: Ah, I see. | 23:02 |
| Dirkson | Hmm. Well, dist-upgrade ain't gonna work anyway - Looks like archives.ubuntu.com dropped all the saucy stuff? | 23:07 |
| Unit193 | Right, there's old-archive, or whatnot. | 23:07 |
| Dirkson | Ugh. I guess I should have dropped my own linux onto a flash drive after all. This is starting to look like a nightmare no matter how I move forward. | 23:10 |
| Unit193 | EOL upgrades aren't exactly fun, but doable. | 23:10 |
| Dirkson | Unit193: You and the linked page disagree about the ubuntu way to do that, and the do-upgrade tool complains that it doesn't have enough free space (5+gb!) to do its thing. I can't just ignore the problem, since apt-get stopped working. All things considered, the system seems horrifyingly broken for something less than two years old. | 23:17 |
| Unit193 | Dirkson: Well I stated how *I* would do it, not the Official Ubuntu method. | 23:19 |
