[13:35] <The_LoudSpeaker> Hii I am new here. But, I would like to contribute to the lubuntu project. Can anyone get me started?
[13:50] <Rosika1> Hi. I´m using Lubuntu 16.04.5 LTS, 64 bit right now. My update-manager tells me that 18.04.1 LTS is available and asks me if I want to upgrade. But what happens if my internet-connection goes down during the upgrade-process?

[18:28] <ask-ygU5AP56> hello
[18:28] <ask-ygU5AP56> Lubuntu 18.04, ThinkPad T61
[18:28] <ask-ygU5AP56> DVD-ROM combo drive doesn't respond to eject button press
[18:28] <ask-ygU5AP56> nor is there a /dev/sr0
[18:28] <ask-ygU5AP56> (the drive works, I have installed the OS from it, it also ejects fine prior to booting the OS)
[18:29] <ask-ygU5AP56> the notebook sits in a docking bay (IBM series original dock)
[18:29] <ask-ygU5AP56> any ideas as to how to track this issue and fix it?
[18:29] <wxl> i'd suspect that's a more general question than a lubuntu one
[18:29] <wxl> you might want to get more eyes on it at #ubuntu
[18:29] <wxl> that said, do you see the device in `lspci`?
[18:31] <ask-ygU5AP56> there's nothing on it in dmesg; nor lspci; nor lshw
[18:32] <wxl> is the drive in the docking bay?
[18:32] <ask-ygU5AP56> nope, in the notebook itself.
[18:32] <ask-ygU5AP56> I can try booting without the docking bay
[18:32] <ask-ygU5AP56> maybe that's messing things up, though I doubt; it's a mechanical kind of dock
[18:32] <ask-ygU5AP56> more of a port replicator + charging
[18:32] <wxl> it's worth a try
[18:33] <ask-ygU5AP56> alright, let's see if that changes things
[18:33] <ask-ygU5AP56> brb
[18:36] <ask-ygU5AP56> well, no.
[18:36] <ask-ygU5AP56> that made no difference.
[18:36] <wxl> ok, so that's out
[18:36] <wxl> the fact that lspci doesn't see it is remarkably weird. have you looked in syslog/dmesg to see if there's anything telling?
[18:36] <ask-ygU5AP56> is there any kernel modules necesary for the latest l/ubuntu to be able to see sata/pata cdroms?
[18:37] <ask-ygU5AP56> no; there's nothing; the kernel doesn't see the drive.
[18:37] <ask-ygU5AP56> there's /dev/sg0 and /dev/sda*
[18:38] <wxl> shouldn't need anything
[18:38] <wxl> and besides, if modules were missing, the kernel should still see it. it just wouldn't be able to do anything with it.
[18:38] <wxl> i.e. it would be listed in lspci
[18:39] <wxl> so i'm at a loss. i'd check with #ubuntu
[18:39] <ask-ygU5AP56> cheers
[18:39] <wxl> sorry
[18:51] <ask-ygU5AP56> no worries
