[05:19] <Zebs> Stupid question, how do I locate an old kernel version through apt-get? Using apt-cache search does not find it.
[05:31] <Zebs> Scratch that, worked it out.
[08:20] <josh> hi
[08:21] <josh> hello is there ny body
[14:34] <Zebs> Well, this isn't good.
[14:34] <Zebs> No boot. Sticks at splash screen.
[14:34] <Zebs> Trying to do things in recovery-mode, it gets to [  OKAY  ] Started Load/Save Random Seed.
[14:34] <Zebs> *[  OK  ]
[14:45] <hateball> Zebs: did this use to be a working system?
[14:45] <hateball> have you recently updated kernel and this happened perhaps?
[14:45] <Zebs> After install, I was able to reboot once, maybe twice.
[14:45] <hateball> !notpi
[14:45] <hateball> hmmm
[14:45] <hateball> !nopti
[14:45] <ubottu> KPTI is a mitigation for the !Meltdown security issue. With some workloads on some processors, KPTI has a significant performance impact. KPTI can be disabled by adding "nopti" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line in /etc/default/grub. This should only be done if absolutely necessary because it will disable protections against Meltdown and thus allow any malicious user process to read memory and probably escalate to root.
[14:45] <Zebs> Dell Inspiron Mini.
[14:46] <hateball> Zebs: well you can first try to reboot and enter grub menu and pick an older kernel and see if that loads properly
[14:47] <Zebs> Trying now.
[14:47] <Zebs> Was trying recovery options for the old kernel.
[14:50] <Zebs> Splash screen froze right away.
[15:01] <hateball> Zebs: try removing the "quiet splash" from bootline
[15:01] <hateball> !nomodeset | Might wanna try this also
[15:01] <ubottu> Might wanna try this also: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
[15:08] <Zebs> Ooh, found a thing...
[15:09] <Zebs> Seems to hit [  OK  ] Reached target Sound Card.
[15:14] <Zebs> Then nothing.
[15:16] <Zebs> So, maybe one of the drivers that installed when updating?
