daddy0had mce errors daily for a week while using bionic... went back to xenial 7 days now and nothing04:18
daddy0hmmm04:18
daddy0any ideas?04:19
daddy0e6700 8gb ram gts45004:19
lotuspsychjedaddy0: we talked about this before04:22
lotuspsychjedaddy0: nvidia is a no go yet on wayland04:23
daddy0i was playing steam dota2, and some wine 3d games04:27
daddy0so it was all thru wayland?04:28
daddy0thought xorg was default for bionic04:28
daddy0forgive me im still learing a04:28
lotuspsychjedaddy0: the final plan is xorg by default on 18.04 yes04:29
daddy0but wayland is the default for the alpha that im using?04:29
lotuspsychjedaddy0: not sure if it changed already in this stage04:29
daddy0isee04:29
daddy0the mce errors said cpu fwiw04:30
Ian_CorneI'm not finding snap installed apps via gnome-shell, anyone else? Feature or bug?09:21
tomreyndaddy0: maybe be the bionic installation you had came with buggy intel microcode updates, this cuold explain mce's. i'm not sure whetehr those are on the installation media (then it's totally possible) or downloaded live (then i don't think this is what happened since those updates got pulled)11:03
Ian_Corneany other users of chrome and gmail notifications? It seems they lag hard when hovering over them14:07

jackpot51 Has anyone noticed delays in the Bionic daily image when running in QEMU?17:29
hggdhjackpot51: what type of delays?17:29
Odd_Blokejackpot51: And by "Bionic daily image" you mean the daily ISO?17:30
jackpot51Before showing the ubiquity selection, there is a blank screen for about 30 seconds. Yes, I mean the dialy ISO17:30
hggdhsorry, did not ee that type of delay17:30
jackpot51bionic-desktop-amd64.iso from yesterday17:31
flocculantjackpot51: yup - though with xubuntu's daily - been seeing that for weeks though17:31
jackpot51I run it as follows: kvm -m 2G -vga qxl -hda hda.img -boot d -cdrom bionic-desktop-amd64.iso17:31
jackpot51-vga std does the same thing, by the way17:32
TJ-jackpot51: what is the host it's running on?17:32
TJ-jackpot51: Xenial?17:32
jackpot51Ubuntu 18.0417:32
TJ-jackpot51: so 18.04  on 18.04 ?17:32
jackpot51Yep :)17:32
TJ-could be related to qemu/kvm patches for PTI - you've got host-kernel+qemu/kvm --> guest-kernel interactions. Did the previous daily behave? Can we narrow down the point at which this began?17:34
jackpot51I believe this has been an issue for a while. A colleague of mine has the issue with the same ISO but using 17.10 as the host. I have seen it with dailies for at least the past week17:39
powersjthe 30 second comment is interesting as we added a 30 second timeout during language selection17:40
powersjsee: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2017-November/007627.html for background17:40
* powersj tries the desktop iso17:43
flocculantpowersj: that sounds about as long as I've been having long boot times 17:43
jackpot51powersj: jderose will try Ubuntu server 18.04 on 17.10, I will try it on 18.0417:44
flocculantif in fact it's the issue on desktop17:44
powersjthanks - that would be good as I am not seeing the issue with server17:44
jackpot51It may be on desktop, but seeing it in xubuntu is odd. After server, we will try xubuntu and see if it feels like the same issue17:44
flocculantjackpot51: okey doke17:45
flocculantcould be local to me - but who knows17:45
* powersj sees "A start job is running for Ubuntu live CD installer"17:51
jderosepowersj: in today's bionic server iso, i'm getting stuck at "Select and install software... Installation step failed". but no delay launching DI anyway17:53
powersjjderose: can you run md5sum on your server ISO so I can check it out17:54
powersjwanna make sure I'm using the same one as you17:54
jderosepowersj: c302305611be0e0321f3b4fcbc9e53db  bionic-server-amd64.iso17:56
jackpot51I had success launching the server iso, b5c0b9a1221ac222ccd7cf0681a5984a *bionic-server-amd64.iso17:57
jackpot51Have not installed yet17:57
powersjjderose: ah the pending ISO suggest avoiding those as they do break and my CI will prevent bad ones from coming out17:57
powersjit is good though that all of us seem to be booting the server ISO correctly17:57
jderoseah right, forgot i'm using pending rather than current, will check current now...17:58
TJ-It looks like the delay is in syslinux, which implies a BIOS mode boot. Does it also happen for an EFI mode boot (which uses GRUB) ?17:59
jderoseTJ-: yes, the delay is happing for jackpot51 and i in UEFI mode under QEMU also (using ovmf)18:02
jackpot51I have a delay with the 18.04 ISO on both BIOS and UEFI18:02
TJ-Just tested that, it doesn't delay for an EFI boot18:02
jackpot51Let me update my desktop image, I pulled mine yesterday18:03
TJ-For me it hits the GRUB menu, pauses about 4 seconds then auto-starts the "Try Ubuntu" entry18:03
jackpot51Does it change with -vga qxl ?18:04
jackpot51What arguments are you using?18:04
TJ-qemu-system-x86_64 -name Bionic-Test -m 2G -bios /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd -machine accel=kvm -vga qxl -monitor stdio -serial tcp:127.0.0.1:9999 -k en-gb -drive file=/dev/sda,if=scsi,format=raw,readonly -cdrom /home/tj/Downloads/bionic-desktop-amd64.iso -boot d18:04
jackpot51On what host are you running?18:06
jackpot51For me, the delay occurs after the plymouth splash screen with that same command18:07
jackpot51I will let you know when I can rerun it with the latest ISO. The one I currently have has this md5sum: 064ab6173bc942d3327098f57748182e *bionic-desktop-amd64.iso18:09
TJ-jackpot51: I hit Esc to watch what's going on rather than leave splash up18:09
TJ-startup jobs seem to be trundling along,18:10
jackpot51I ran without quiet and splash, the screen goes blank before the halt. GNOME shell starting?18:10
powersjonce it boots running `systemd-analyze blame` might be interesting, for me with that slightly modified command line from above I get 20s for plymouth-quit-wait.service18:13
jackpot51Here is the journal log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26506933/18:14
jackpot51systemd-analyze returns 6.489s (kernel) + 1.637s (userspace) = 8.127s18:15
jackpot51Which is inaccurate18:15
jackpot51systemd-analyze blame has the hisghest time as dev-sr0.device, 2.224s18:15
jackpot51In the logs, there is a jump from Feb 02 18:10:29 ubuntu NetworkManager[974]: <info>  [1517595029.9565] manager: rfkill: WWAN hardware radio set enabled18:16
jackpot51To the next line Feb 02 18:10:40 ubuntu nm-dispatcher[1052]: req:3 'connectivity-change': start running ordered scripts...18:16
jackpot51That is at line 1384 in the paste. From line 1384 to line 1411, there is a time difference of 30 seconds. At this point, GNOME Shell reports starting18:17
TJ-From the serial console here it looks like there's the usual network-online.wait delay... graphical.target wants don't kick off until that comepletes18:25
jackpot51The same thing happens with the latest ISO: 50e3297bebfeea58ff5bd48f1e2d94fe *ubuntu-bionic-desktop-amd64.iso18:26
TJ-I also edit the kernel command-line before starting, so it has "debug console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200n8" (and quiet splash removed)18:27
jackpot51Ah, that would be good18:27
TJ-The qemu command above redirects the serial console to TCP port 9999, and I have "nc -l -p 9999 | tee /tmp/bionic-daily.log" running too to capture that /and/ be able to interact with the system by logging in at the "login:" 18:28
jackpot51Is there a reason why this wait time wouldn't be in systemd-analyze ?18:29
TJ-If it occurs /after/ graphical.target is achieved, yes18:29
TJ-try booting with "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" so the GUI isn't started. Then log-in, and do "systemctl start graphical.target" - see if there's any difference. THat should also separate out the real service bring-up delays from the GUI start-up18:31
jackpot51Ok, will do18:32
jackpot51Is there a password?18:34
jackpot51Ah, it is blank18:34
jackpot51The delay is after starting graphical.target18:35
TJ-jackpot51: line 1386 "dbus-daemon[969]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)" -- 25 seconds --- could be implicated18:35
TJ-jackpot51: so check the gdm logs, /var/log/gdm/ I think18:36
jackpot51I think you are right. That happens after systemctl start graphical.target, and right at the delay18:37
jackpot51The bluez issue18:37
TJ-jackpot51: good that you've proved that is related to the graphical.target too18:38
jackpot51Maybe I should disable the bluez dbus service before running graphical.target?18:39
TJ-bug #1533206 looks to be related, I wonder if the patch got dropped during MIR18:41
ubottubug 1533206 in Blueman "Blueman-applet crash on login: DBusException in call_blocking(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/153320618:41
TJ-basically, if there's no BT device the bluez daemon can't be reached on DBus so things calling it end up timing out18:41
TJ-which might explain why VMs see it but bare-metal often doesnt (for laptops etc.)18:42
jackpot51After disable dbus-org.bluez.service, I do not get that message any more18:43
jackpot51But the delay is still there18:43
jackpot51Instead, I get Feb 02 18:10:53 ubuntu gsd-media-keys[1540]: Failed to grab accelerators: Timeout was reached (24)18:44
jackpot51Something similar to that18:44
TJ-jackpot51: right, and I checked - blueman still has the patch (and shouldn't affect a Gnome desktop anyhow)18:46
TJ-I suspect it's gnome-shell related18:46
TJ-although ... hmmm... that wouldn't affect xubuntu18:47
TJ-I'm testing today's amd64 image now18:51
jackpot51I can test Xubuntu as well18:55
jackpot51Yes, there is a delay in Xubuntu on my system as well19:19

taohansenwhen doing an apt update tracking "devel" in my /etc/apt/sources.list i receive this funky warning: https://gist.github.com/7931576c4babb39489b9adc82e226ff021:04
taohanseneverything appears to be functional but this warning implies to me that Ubuntu intends to remove support for tracking "devel" in the future? is that a corrent supposition?21:04
taohansencorrect*21:05
Odd_Bloketaohansen: I'm not sure I follow your line of reasoning; devel points at bionic at the moment, and apt is making sure you understand that what you're asking for isn't what you're getting (at least, not verbatim).21:06
nacctaohansen: it might be apt being more verbose21:06
Odd_BlokeI don't see why you would infer that support is going away. :)21:06
nacci'm not sure it's an archive change, reallly, as i thought devel was just a symllink21:06
taohansenOdd_Bloke: irrational paranoia perhaps. 🙂 thanks for clearing up my confusion21:07
TJ-How /on earth/ is one supposed to interact with the Gnome network manager applet to configure a connection? There's a mutli-application drop-down, but it just says "Wired Connecting" and no way to influence it. Desktop has "Network Manager 1 new notification" but no way to interact with it, either21:50
naccTJ-: on my system if i click up there, each network device has a twisty section (smalll right-facing triangle)21:51
naccTJ-: and under each of those i can change settings, disablle, etc21:51
TJ-nacc: the desktop shows a clock too; is this some form of screen-lock? I don't seem able to get rid of it21:52
naccTJ-: i've never had a clock on my desktop :)21:52
nacci have a clock in the panel at the top21:52
TJ-nacc: this is in a qemu VM: http://iam.tj/projects/ubuntu/bionic-daily-desktop.png21:54
naccTah yes, that llooks like th elock screen21:54
nacci *think* this is the thing people have talked about, you have to 'swipe up' or something?21:54
nacci'm really not sure21:55
TJ-hmmm, so how does one get rid of it I wonder?21:55
nacci have not fresh istnalled in a while, so i don't know :)21:55
naccbut i would ugess that's why it's grayed out21:55
TJ-nacc: You're correct! Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs, what a silly non-intuitive behaviour for a desktop and mouse!21:55
naccyeah, i think it's somethig inherited from convergence-like bheavior21:56
TJ-there should at least be a graphic hint there :D21:56
naccbut i really dont' know, someone else complained about that (possibly here) a while ago21:56
naccthere used to be like a arrow path at the bottom (and a grabber)21:56
naccbut y'know, gnome being all modern, maybe they removed that :)21:56
nacc</sarcasm>21:56
TJ-:p21:56
TJ-You know my views ... I'm just trying diagnose this long delay at start-up for the installer21:57
TJ-I get more utility out of the 115200 baud serial link I've got connected to it's console22:00
naccTJ-: :)22:03
TJ-* except when I forget and press Ctrl+C and kill the entire VM :D doh22:04
