| cknavigator | Hello. I don't know if this is the right channel but I could use some help. After some trial and error, I think I found the cause of a bug with Ubuntu (reproducible in both 16.04 and 16.10). What should I do? I don't have experience reporting bugs. Please redirect me to the right channel if that's offtopic here. | 22:59 |
| valorie | cknavigator: can you say more about the bug? | 23:01 |
| valorie | here is fine | 23:01 |
| cknavigator | Yes. Basically I was trying to boot Ubuntu Live USB on a laptop (AMD CPU and GPU) and it would never go past the Ubuntu logo screen into the live session. | 23:01 |
| cknavigator | It would work on other machines but not this one | 23:02 |
| cknavigator | I tried everything - nomodeset, changing pendrives, images, etc | 23:02 |
| valorie | hmmm | 23:02 |
| cknavigator | Then I came to the conclusion the problem was due to an existing btrfs partition | 23:02 |
| cknavigator | from a openSUSE Installation | 23:02 |
| cknavigator | I now delete this partition and Ubuntu boots | 23:03 |
| cknavigator | both 16.04 and 16.10 | 23:03 |
| valorie | wow | 23:03 |
| valorie | that's a tough one to assign | 23:03 |
| valorie | I guess I would guess lightdm | 23:04 |
| valorie | the easiest way to file a bug is via the commandline: `ubuntu-bug lightdm` | 23:04 |
| valorie | that way apport will auto-collect relevant info and upload it for you to launchpad | 23:05 |
| valorie | if it is filed against the wrong package, the devels will move it | 23:05 |
| cknavigator | When I boot Ubuntu with the nomodeset parameter, I could see on the black screen some text related with btrfs, this is how I eventually related the issue with the presence of the btrfs partition. I took a partition of that text, perhaps it contains useful info? | 23:07 |
| cknavigator | * a picture of that text | 23:07 |
| cknavigator | lol | 23:07 |
| valorie | yes, you can attach at some point in the bug filing process | 23:08 |
| valorie | it's a bit cumbersome, but so necessary | 23:08 |
| cknavigator | However, do I need to recreate the btrfs partition to report the bug? or can I just run 'ubuntu-bug lightdm' from this live session? | 23:10 |
| cknavigator | Here's the picture if anyone is interested http://imgur.com/a/X8Ijh | 23:11 |
