NickSmolinskehello all. years since I've fired up an IRC client, feels good to be back05:47
NewGnuGuywelcome back05:48
NickSmolinskeI'm trying to get xubuntu working on a new HP laptop and . . . it's being quite interesting! random slow mouse movement followed by a freeze. no pattern detected yet but I am googling05:48
NickSmolinskeinterestingly, the last time it froze it took me to a grub command line upon reboot. I ended up reinstalling from the liveusb again and the liveusb did not detect the existing install at all05:49
NickSmolinskeI don't think I've ever seen linux fail to reboot after a crash before. this is a first for me05:50
NickSmolinskehuh. my root file system does not appear in "mount" on a fresh install05:56
NickSmolinskethis just keeps getting weirder05:56
NickSmolinskenever mind, it's there. I'm going to try the vm.dirty_background fix that I've found online. it seems to only crash while copying files, performing updates or other hard drive intensive activities05:59

NickSmolinskeseems like that may have been it. I'm halfway through installing updates and it hasn't crashed yet. interestingly the dirty_ratio and dirty_background_ratio on my 14.04 install are set to the better values by default (5 and 10 rather than 10 and 20)06:07

NickSmolinskewell that didn't work but I decided to update the kernel and do a couple suggested fixes all at once. might as well throw everything at it. night all07:26

ubottuIf new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging18:17
senposwell_laid_lawn: hi there, i've enabled backports, but is there any way to see the list of packages that are available there?18:27
well_laid_lawnI don't do much with backports18:32
well_laid_lawnhttps://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-backports/18:32
senposwell_laid_lawn: oh, thanks anyway. It seems like it is not that easy as i imagined to install few packages with newer versions in LTS release18:35
