vanta_blackWell, nothing so far has changed. I did accidentally unplug the live usb before it told me to and had to hard power-off, but I don't think that's related. Still boots me into GRUB, either way00:15

Guest93976hi...my kernel is panic'ing and I don't know what to do. I enabled kdump to dump into a nfs share but nothing shows up13:51
Guest93976how can I see what's causing the panic?13:52
BluesKajGuest93976, can you drop to  VT/TTY ctl+alt+F1_F6,  login, then, sudo nano /var/log/syslog, to see what could be causing it13:54
netromhHi, anyone knows why do I only see mouse pointer when booting from live DVD in VMware Workstation? Text terminals works fine13:55
BluesKajF1-F6 rather13:55
BluesKajnetromh, looks like a question for #VMWare13:57

Guest93976my last syslog before kernel panic is15:50
Guest93976Mar 16 13:14:46 main-server systemd[1]: Started CUPS Scheduler. > ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^ (lots of these)15:50
Guest93976any ideas on how to persue this?15:51
lordievaderGuest93976: Go and check the smart values of your disk.16:10
Guest93976lordievader: do you know a way to make a usb3 disk expose smart capabilities?16:13
lordievaderOh, the rootfs is on a usb stick?16:13
Guest93976nop...but this seems to happen when I access this external disk16:14
Guest93976the rootfs seems fine....smart not complaining about it16:14
lordievaderGuest93976: Then check the smart values of the disk where the rootfs resides on.16:14
lordievaderHmm, okay.16:14
lordievaderDoes the kernel panic show why it is panicing?16:15
Guest93976the short test did complete without errors16:15
Guest93976it doesn't....and I can't do anything after it freezes16:15
Guest93976already installed kdump and tried to make it dump to a nfs and nothing16:16
Guest93976also tried with ssh16:16
Guest93976got nothing16:16
lordievaderIt only crashed on that thumbdrive?16:17
Guest93976it's a 2tb usb3 disk....so on regular usage, the system works fine16:18
Guest93976but when accessing (reading/writing) large files, it freezes the system16:18
lordievaderFreezes or crashes?16:19
Guest93976the whole system freezes...no mouse/keyboard...not even external ssh access16:20
lordievaderBtw, there are methods of getting smart data from an external drive.16:20
Guest93976so I guess the whole machine froze16:20
lordievaderIt could be that he machine is busy. I have seen it before that under heavy IO load a system becomes very unresponsive.16:20
Guest93976it's a good machine....nothing like that happens on other disks or other very intensive operations16:21

mparilloI have commented on the blank screen with the mouse pointer at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/162734816:39
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1627348 in kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "Kubuntu Yakkety Live DVD boots to black screen with mouse pointer" [Undecided,Confirmed]16:39
Guest93976lordievader: can't test it :(16:57
lordievaderGuest93976: As in smartctl cannot retrieve the data?17:02
Guest93976yup...can't find a way to retrieve it17:04
lordievaderHmm, well I have to admit it is just a hunch that this is caused by a bad disk.17:06
BluesKajGuest93976, sudo e2fsck /dev/sdX , sdX being the partition in question, from vt/tty shell17:15
Guest93976BluesKaj: says it's cleat17:20
user|48081can someone tell me why the driver manager in system settings just infinitely says "gathering information about your system"17:30
user|48081!help17:31
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience17:31
