[23:38] <tsimonq2> Gah, you beat me to it :)
[23:38] <acheronuk> lol
[23:38] <tsimonq2> acheronuk: Slide slangasek all the favorite beverages, he published those ;)
[23:39] <tsimonq2> Well
[23:39] <tsimonq2> Actually
[23:39] <tsimonq2> Leave some for the Kernel Team :D
[23:41] <valorie> should we post a little story on the website with those links?
[23:41] <valorie> basically: upgrade now and don't forget to restart?
[23:44] <tsimonq2> Wait a min I think
[23:44] <tsimonq2> Not in Bionic yet...
[23:44] <valorie> no mention of spectre either
[23:44] <valorie> but I guess one step at a time
[23:45] <tsimonq2> Right
[23:45] <tsimonq2> valorie: afair from discussions upstream mainline hasn't agreed on the right solution for Spectre yet
[23:46] <valorie> totally understandable
[23:46] <valorie> ok, rebooting after update
[23:50] <valorie[m]> This is unfortunate
[23:50] <tsimonq2> What is?
[23:51] <valorie[m]> No plasma
[23:51] <valorie[m]> Plasmashell &
[23:51] <tsimonq2> Did you update the whoe system or just the kernel?
[23:51] <tsimonq2> *whole
[23:52] <valorie[m]> 0xbConnennectuon:could not connect to display
[23:52] <tsimonq2> acheronuk: your take on this? ^
[23:52] <acheronuk> wow. that was quick to update. I'm leaving mine until tommorow. let other people be guinea pigs
[23:52] <tsimonq2> valorie: Are you on Bionic?
[23:52] <valorie[m]> Full upgrade
[23:53] <valorie[m]> But it was only the kernel and friends
[23:53] <acheronuk> Nvidia?
[23:53] <valorie[m]> Artful and backports
[23:53] <valorie[m]> Nvidia yes
[23:54] <acheronuk> Did you intall the Nvidia update?
[23:54] <acheronuk> *install
[23:54] <valorie[m]> Not that I saw, and not today
[23:55] <valorie[m]> Could have been yesterday....
[23:55] <tsimonq2> valorie: Could you throw us the last stanza of /var/log/apt/history.log real quick?
[23:55] <tsimonq2> Let's backtrack this until we find it...
