xubuntu42iGood Morning05:58
diogenes_Good morning05:59
xubuntu42ionce in a while, every few bootups, I get Kernel Panic while booting and have to reinstall the 18.10 I use. #06:00
xubuntu42iIt's not such a big problem, because all programms are still available after re-install.06:00
xubuntu42ibut it happens again and again.06:01
xubuntu42imaybe a firmware problem? I use intel QX685006:01
xubuntu42iand always failed to install the cpu firmware06:02
diogenes_how old is hdd/ssd, what else beside xubuntu you have there?06:02
xubuntu42iI had another xubuntu 16.04 before on a partition on the SSD I use, the rest in use is now 1gb /boot, 25gb /root and 45gb /home06:04
xubuntu42ithe old partitions for 16.04 are new formated since they where not in use after a re-install06:05
diogenes_how old is hdd/ssd also why you need a separate /boot?06:06
xubuntu42irighright now   fasdfasdfasdf06:06
xubuntu02whi there again...#06:25
xubuntu02wI just re-installed.  Could it be better if I format the /boot Partition, or will I loose anything other from my set up system.06:26
xubuntu02wright now, I only choose the partitions again, and the mount-points 1. /boot 2. /root 3. /home06:27
xubuntu02wand dont format anything06:27
xubuntu02wthis way I have to reinstall some apps anytime. But many are still there and useable06:33

vp11my xubuntu, a fresh install of 18.04 LTS, is randomly freezing. can someone help me debug it? I don't know where to start.16:43
diogenes_vp11, what is freezing?16:50
vp11I'd like to say that the OS freezes, but the mouse pointer is responsive16:50
vp11everything else is frozen16:50
vp11including the clock on the taskbar16:51
xubuntu82whello guys, how do I format my usb drive in xubuntu?16:51
diogenes_xubuntu82w, install gnome-disks16:51
diogenes_vp11, how often it happens?16:51
vp11diogenes_: I installed Xubuntu on this laptop yesterday, it happened twice already. It's a ThinkPad A485.16:53
diogenes_vp11, run: inxi -Fx16:54
diogenes_and pastebin the output16:54
diogenes_!pastebin16:55

vp11diogenes_: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/f3557ef3/16:56
diogenes_vp11, have you fully updated the system after installing?17:01
vp11yes17:01
diogenes_vp11, this could be a try: http://dpaste.com/1GSNBNN17:07
diogenes_but keep in mind, if after reboot you are welcomed with a black screen17:07
diogenes_then you need to alt+ctrl+f2 and: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf17:08
vp11alright, I will create the xorg.conf.d folder and add this conf file as sudo17:09
vp11and pray :)17:10
vp11well, so far so good, no black screen of death diogenes_18:10
vp11I'll let you know in case it freezes again18:10
vp11what would be your guess btw? just curious18:10
vp11your guess for the reason it was freezing18:10
diogenes_vp11, only speculations, some rendering issues18:12
vp11diogenes_: it was a good try, but it just happened again19:31
vp11and now not even the mouse pointer moved! so it has worsened :P19:31
diogenes_vp11, then another try is to use a newer kernel, 4.19 for instance19:33
vp11should I rollback and remove the 20-radeon.conf file?19:34
diogenes_you can leave it there19:35
Spassvp11, is that some old AMD card? if yes you could change the content of that file to this - http://dpaste.com/11NZ6RJ19:44
Spassand restart your machine19:45
vp11Spass: it's pretty recent tbh19:45
Spassoh, in that case leave "amdgpu"19:45
vp11I just found a reddit post that might be relevant19:45
vp11https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/93yn8m/ryzen_5_2500u_on_linux/19:45
vp11"In my case, I require "idle=nowait" and "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" added to GRUB, which squashed an issue with a core freezing, and the kernel had to be at least 4.16 for the graphics drivers to properly function"19:45
vp11Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U is exactly what this thinkpad has19:46
vp11so I guess it's worth a shot19:46

n-iCeSo I'm in the lastest release.23:19
n-iCeI remember reading that xubuntu is the best linux distro out there for laptops, do you agree? ( Article said was the best optmized linux distro for laptops)23:19
Unit193Well, I use and like it, not really used anything other than Xubuntu/Debian for a while.23:30
