=== Israphel is now known as Guest19341 === Israphel_ is now known as Israphel === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [05:58] Good Morning [05:59] Good morning [06:00] once in a while, every few bootups, I get Kernel Panic while booting and have to reinstall the 18.10 I use. # [06:00] It's not such a big problem, because all programms are still available after re-install. [06:01] but it happens again and again. [06:01] maybe a firmware problem? I use intel QX6850 [06:02] and always failed to install the cpu firmware [06:02] how old is hdd/ssd, what else beside xubuntu you have there? [06:04] I 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 /home [06:05] the old partitions for 16.04 are new formated since they where not in use after a re-install [06:06] how old is hdd/ssd also why you need a separate /boot? [06:06] righright now fasdfasdfasdf [06:25] hi there again...# [06:26] I just re-installed. Could it be better if I format the /boot Partition, or will I loose anything other from my set up system. [06:27] right now, I only choose the partitions again, and the mount-points 1. /boot 2. /root 3. /home [06:27] and dont format anything [06:33] this way I have to reinstall some apps anytime. But many are still there and useable [06:52] Guten Morgen [06:55] halo === Rtfsc9 is now known as Rtfsc8 [16:43] my xubuntu, a fresh install of 18.04 LTS, is randomly freezing. can someone help me debug it? I don't know where to start. [16:50] vp11, what is freezing? [16:50] I'd like to say that the OS freezes, but the mouse pointer is responsive [16:50] everything else is frozen [16:51] including the clock on the taskbar [16:51] hello guys, how do I format my usb drive in xubuntu? [16:51] xubuntu82w, install gnome-disks [16:51] vp11, how often it happens? [16:53] diogenes_: I installed Xubuntu on this laptop yesterday, it happened twice already. It's a ThinkPad A485. [16:54] vp11, run: inxi -Fx [16:54] and pastebin the output [16:55] !pastebin [16:55] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [16:56] diogenes_: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/f3557ef3/ [17:01] vp11, have you fully updated the system after installing? [17:01] yes [17:07] vp11, this could be a try: http://dpaste.com/1GSNBNN [17:07] but keep in mind, if after reboot you are welcomed with a black screen [17:08] then you need to alt+ctrl+f2 and: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf [17:09] alright, I will create the xorg.conf.d folder and add this conf file as sudo [17:10] and pray :) [18:10] well, so far so good, no black screen of death diogenes_ [18:10] I'll let you know in case it freezes again [18:10] what would be your guess btw? just curious [18:10] your guess for the reason it was freezing [18:12] vp11, only speculations, some rendering issues [19:31] diogenes_: it was a good try, but it just happened again [19:31] and now not even the mouse pointer moved! so it has worsened :P [19:33] vp11, then another try is to use a newer kernel, 4.19 for instance [19:34] should I rollback and remove the 20-radeon.conf file? [19:35] you can leave it there [19:44] vp11, is that some old AMD card? if yes you could change the content of that file to this - http://dpaste.com/11NZ6RJ [19:45] and restart your machine [19:45] Spass: it's pretty recent tbh [19:45] oh, in that case leave "amdgpu" [19:45] I just found a reddit post that might be relevant [19:45] https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/93yn8m/ryzen_5_2500u_on_linux/ [19:45] "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" [19:46] Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U is exactly what this thinkpad has [19:46] so I guess it's worth a shot [19:52] exit [20:12] filling_left_right = columns_vertical [20:12] sory [23:17] Question, how can I know which xubuntu version I'm actually running. [23:17] lsb_release -a ? [23:18] 18.10, thanks. [23:19] So I'm in the lastest release. [23:19] I 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) [23:30] Well, I use and like it, not really used anything other than Xubuntu/Debian for a while.
