| k6600 | Hi all, I'm trying to install ubuntu on my new pc with skylake i5-6600K processor, but starting the live cd immediately gives a kernel panic (caps + scroll lock blinking). Any advice on how to proceed? | 12:29 |
|---|---|---|
| ikonia | need to see what the panic is | 12:31 |
| k6600 | hm, now it suddenly works, at least the live system. Weird | 12:42 |
| k6600 | After installing I get the following: Kernel panic: not syncing: Not all CPUs entered broadcast exception handler | 12:47 |
| penguin42 | that's a new one; what were the messages just before that? | 12:49 |
| k6600 | [drm] failed to retreive link info, disabling eDP | 12:52 |
| k6600 | [drm] initialised i915 1.60 20150731 for 000:00:02.0 on minor 1 | 12:53 |
| k6600 | Kernel panic - Not syncing: Timeout: Not all CPUs entered broadcast exception handler | 12:53 |
| k6600 | Shutting down cpus with NMI | 12:53 |
| penguin42 | yeh you need to report that; it shouldn't happen - I doubt the drm messages are related | 12:55 |
| k6600 | I can report a bug from the live system, I just installed the system from there. Any idea what parameters I should pass the installed system to work around this? | 12:56 |
| penguin42 | no, never seen that one - what CPU do you have? | 12:57 |
| k6600 | i5-6600k | 12:59 |
| penguin42 | nothing too odd then | 12:59 |
| jtaylor | reasonably odd as in very new, should be a skylake? | 13:00 |
| k6600 | yes, its a skylake. Thats why I'm using xenial, as I read its not supported on earlier versions of ubuntu | 13:01 |
| jtaylor | xenial still has 4.3 kernel | 13:01 |
| jtaylor | probably should support it but might still have problems | 13:01 |
| penguin42 | lack of support is more normally just not using new features or stuff with graphics and things; it's a bit rare for it to panic that early on a new x86 | 13:02 |
| jtaylor | I'd try a 4.4 kernel if that does not work a bugreport is likely required | 13:02 |
| penguin42 | it's a shame that the xenial installers aren't using 4.4 already; 4.3 is broken on this machine (just graphics) | 13:03 |
| k6600 | jtaylor: so install xenial on another drive, update it to -proposed, then put the drive in the skylake machine and see if it works? Or is there a smarter way to do that? | 13:04 |
| jtaylor | hm yes getting 4.4 installed without an existing working install may be tricky | 13:04 |
| penguin42 | mind you the fact the installer is booting for k6600 but not the installed is curious | 13:05 |
| k6600 | penguin42: its on and off. Out of 4 tries, I was able to boot to the live system only once. Very weird | 13:08 |
| k6600 | Is there a date for 4.4 to land in xenial? It's not on the release schedule | 13:09 |
| penguin42 | I don't think 4.4 has made it out of rc yet | 13:10 |
| BluesKaj | Happy New Year folks | 13:19 |
| k6600 | So what should I do? I want to get this fixed for myself, and also other users of 16.04 | 13:19 |
| penguin42 | HNY BluesKaj | 13:19 |
| penguin42 | k6600: You said you get about a 1/4 try success on the live system - is that true of the installed system? | 13:20 |
| BluesKaj | hey penguin42 | 13:20 |
| k6600 | penguin42: 1/4 was optimistic, I've got in only once now, for 10 kernel panics. I'll try the installed system next | 13:25 |
| penguin42 | k6600: If you can get the installed system to boot, once, then you can download and install the daily build of the 4.4 kernel | 13:26 |
| k6600-installed | I'm in the installed system now, by using advanced settings -> upstart in grub. | 13:38 |
| penguin42 | k6600-installed: OK, 1st report the bug using ubuntu-bug kernel (it's either kernel or linux I can't remmber which) | 13:41 |
| penguin42 | k6600-installed: Then grab the daily kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ install that, reboot and hope for the best | 13:41 |
| k6600-installed | bug 1530441 | 13:42 |
| ubottu | bug 1530441 in linux (Ubuntu) "Kernel panic when booting" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1530441 | 13:42 |
| * penguin42 is suspicious what the choice of that advanced option did | 13:43 | |
| penguin42 | still, lets see if 4.4 helps | 13:44 |
| penguin42 | k6600-installed: It'll be the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/linux-image-4.4.0-999-generic_4.4.0-999.201512302100_amd64.deb you need | 13:44 |
| k6600-installed | penguin42: thats just a menu option in grub, that hides older kernels, recovery mode and apparently also (upstart) in xenial | 13:44 |
| k6600-installed | installing it now | 13:45 |
| penguin42 | k6600-installed: Yeh but I'm curious if you're hitting a fault like that early on from the kernel, why selecting upstart would make any difference | 13:46 |
| penguin42 | k6600-installed: Is this brand new hardware that's not run anything successfully yet? | 13:46 |
| k6600-installed | it has been running windows 10 for a month now, mostly games, without issue | 13:47 |
| penguin42 | ok, good, so it's probably not hardware | 13:47 |
| k6600-installed | I've also updated the bios and ran memtest for a single pass | 13:47 |
| penguin42 | ok good, updating the bios was the other thing I was going to suggest; but yes that makes sense | 13:47 |
| k6600-installed | here goes the reboot, brb | 13:49 |
| penguin42 | I'm not normally that worried about the bios, but when it's new CPUs/motherboard they sometimes haven't got the kinks out of it yet | 13:49 |
| k6600-installed | it works | 13:52 |
| penguin42 | wahey! | 13:53 |
| penguin42 | k6600-installed: Please add a comment to your bug about the version it works on | 13:53 |
| k6600-installed | penguin42: added. Do I have to remove this kernel when 4.4 becomes available on xenia or will it have the version in the repo have a higher version number? | 13:58 |
| penguin42 | k6600-installed: Hmm I'm not sure; I think you might need to remove it | 13:58 |
| k6600-installed | I'll keep an eye out for when 4.4 lands, I'll probably have to reinstall anyway after using the pre-release ubuntu for a few months | 14:00 |
| k6600-installed | Thanks a lot for your help, I'm happy I finally have ubuntu running on my brand new pc ;) | 14:02 |
| lotuspsychje | anyone go a sign of alpha 1 yet, just upgraded bit nothing much changed | 15:56 |
| k1l_ | there is no real change. its more of a milestone | 15:57 |
| lotuspsychje | k1l_: ok tnx, so its just a name of a step forward? | 15:58 |
| k1l_ | yep | 16:23 |
| k1l_ | a mark on the railroad. some things need to be worked out until that mark | 16:24 |
| lotuspsychje | k1l_: when will we start seeing real changes apply then? before final i hope? | 16:24 |
| k1l_ | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule | 16:24 |
| penguin42 | I'd assume being an LTS they wont try and squish vast numbers of features in | 16:27 |
| lotuspsychje | penguin42: what do you mean | 16:28 |
| lotuspsychje | penguin42: alot of articles showed already upcomming new xenial features | 16:28 |
| penguin42 | lotuspsychje: Well for an LTS you'd hope it would be stable and well tested, not a massive new feature thrown in at the last minute - you'd hope | 16:31 |
| lotuspsychje | new plymouth, new startup disk creator, dock to bottom,online search vanish from dash,... | 16:31 |
| lotuspsychje | when will all those packages arrive on final? | 16:31 |
| k1l_ | dock to bottom? | 16:31 |
| lotuspsychje | k1l_: ye left unity bar to bottom ive read mate | 16:31 |
| k1l_ | where? | 16:32 |
| lotuspsychje | lemme find that article holdon | 16:32 |
| lotuspsychje | k1l_: http://linux.softpedia.com/blog/ubuntu-16-04-lts-to-let-users-move-the-unity-launcher-at-the-bottom-of-the-screen-498000.shtml | 16:34 |
| lotuspsychje | gnome software :p | 16:39 |
| lotuspsychje | its gonna be interesting release : | 16:39 |

| lrs | Im thinking of updating from 14.04 to 16.04 alpha. DO I just write sudo do-release-upgrade -d ? | 22:32 |
| k1l_ | yes. make sure the upgrade path is set to LTS | 22:36 |
| lrs | k1l_, I ave a problem. It says i need 81 mb free in boot | 22:41 |
| lrs | k1l_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14363152/ <- that is ls boot | 22:41 |
| lrs | What can i remove? | 22:41 |
| lrs | I think my boot is about 100 mb | 22:41 |
| k1l_ | what? hta tis way to small. | 22:42 |
| lrs | k1l_, If i remove everything thats enough for 81 mb :S | 22:44 |
| lrs | I think my boot is like 100 b | 22:44 |
| lrs | mb | 22:44 |
| k1l_ | first solve the issue that your /boot partition is way to small. | 22:44 |
| k1l_ | that will make trouble all the time | 22:44 |
| lrs | k1l_, No, its 200 mb | 22:44 |
| lrs | I think maybe its a hidden trash there | 22:44 |
| k1l_ | ls -alh | 22:45 |
| lrs | Ok, i had to delete the trash file that was hidden. Now it starts , hopefully it will work | 22:46 |
| hjtbk | Hi. People tell me Alpha1 has been released but I cannot find a specific download page for it. Is it just the latest daily build? Thanks! | 23:42 |
| k1l_ | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2015-December/003483.html | 23:45 |
| k1l_ | i would use the daily builds so far | 23:46 |
| hjtbk | Ok. Thanks. | 23:49 |
