| thaurwylth | Hey, what is the Xubuntu Quality Assurance Tracker? | 09:16 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | You mean, iso.qa.ubuntu.com? | 09:16 |
| thaurwylth | Probably! So, what happens there? | 09:18 |
| thaurwylth | (I already checked the front page.) | 09:18 |
| Unit193 | People test isos, report results. | 09:26 |
| Unit193 | If people don't test the ISOs, there's no way to know for sure they'll work on the majority of computers. | 09:28 |
| thaurwylth | http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/404/builds <~~~~~ Does each thread correspond to a single test case? | 09:29 |
| Mathom | Hello! :) I installed Xubuntu on my new laptop, but when I type the free command, I only see 6Gb of ram instead of the 8Gb I have. Could anyone help me with this please? | 12:30 |
| tomreyn | Mathom: see the "available" (not "free") column reported by free -h | 13:04 |
| tomreyn | also https://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 13:04 |
| Mathom | total used free shared buff/cache availableMem: 5,8G 1,1G 119M 58M 4,6G 4,4G | 13:05 |
| tomreyn | !paste | Mathom | 13:05 |
| ubottu | Mathom: 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. | 13:05 |
| Mathom | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XB8yjnckdg/ | 13:06 |
| tomreyn | i see what you mean, though. maybe one of your memory modules was not usable? sudo dmidecode --type memory 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999 | 13:07 |
| Mathom | https://termbin.com/hy8w | 13:09 |
| tomreyn | so you have a single DIMM with 8 GB memory (8192 MB) | 13:09 |
| tomreyn | please show journalctl -kb | nc termbin.com 9999 | 13:10 |
| Mathom | https://termbin.com/f0mo | 13:11 |
| tomreyn | you have plenty of acpi errors there. they may (though less likely) contribute to it, and are something you should generally try to solve. look for a newer bios upgrade | 13:12 |
| tomreyn | this is an ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. TUF Gaming FX505DU_FX505DU/FX505DU, BIOS FX505DU.304 05/02/2019 | 13:13 |
| tomreyn | i'm continuing to look for something memory specific in the meantime | 13:13 |
| Mathom | Ok, thank you! I'll look for a bios update in the meantime then | 13:14 |
| tomreyn | linux really thinks that only slightly above 6 GB are available: kernel: Memory: 5895856K/6221884K available (14339K kernel code, 2335K rwdata, 4316K rodata, 2584K init, 5196K bss, 326028K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) | 13:14 |
| Mathom | Looks like my bios version is 304. There is a version 306 release for my laptop, I'll try updating it | 13:18 |
| tomreyn | ok, i'm still reading. | 13:18 |
| tomreyn | so that's an AMD mobile platform (CPU) with AMD RAVEN APU and a separate nvidia GPU with Optimus switching | 13:23 |
| tomreyn | 2 GB of your RAM are dedicated to the APU | 13:23 |
| Mathom | So this is a correct behaviour then? | 13:27 |
| tomreyn | yes. but those acpi errors you should still tackle. if they persist after bios upgrade, try https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html | 13:28 |
| Mathom | how do I check after bios update, if I still have ACPI errors? | 13:30 |
| tomreyn | journalctl -kb | grep ACPI | 13:31 |
| tomreyn | so far you have "ACPI BIOS Error (bug):", "ACPI Error:", "ACPI Warning:" | 13:34 |
| Mathom | I updated the bios and followed the tutorial. After running the script, and restarting, I started seeing grub options (I haven't had that before), but when I select boot to ubuntu, I see a black screen. I tried to add nomodeset to that boot option from GRUB with editing. | 13:44 |
| Mathom | https://imgur.com/a/3Ebj7fb | 13:47 |
| Mathom | (this is without before trying nomodeset) | 13:48 |
| tomreyn | Mathom: so were there still acpi errors after you upgraded the bios? | 13:52 |
| Mathom | yes, whenever I restarted my computer, I saw new ACPI errors in journalctl. (If I haven't restarted, just checked in 2-3 mins after boot, no new messages arrived though) | 13:53 |
| tomreyn | does the system boot fine (not to black screen) if you remove the acpi_osi options? | 13:54 |
| Mathom | yes | 13:54 |
| tomreyn | hmm. about the black screen, you could remove "quiet" and replace "splash" by "nosplash" and add !bootlog | 13:58 |
| tomreyn | !bootlog | 13:58 |
| ubottu | To get a more verbose log of the boot process, add the following !kernelparm: debug systemd.log_level=info | 13:58 |
| tomreyn | that should tell you what's going wrong at least. | 13:58 |
| tomreyn | you could also try adding amdgpu.dc=0 to counter the black screen. | 13:58 |
| Mathom | tomreyn I tried these (remove "quite", change to "nosplash", add "!bootlog" and "amdgpu.dc=0", while keeping the acpi_osi options), but I still get a black screen | 14:06 |
| Mathom | ubottu I tried to add "!kernelparm: debug systemd.log_level=info" I still get a black screen | 14:08 |
| ubottu | Mathom: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:08 |
| Mathom | (funny thing, I have 8GB of total ram after bios update O.o) | 14:13 |
| thaurwylth | Does Xfce have a separate channel or is it the same as this one? | 15:10 |
| Andrio | There is a #xfce channel. | 15:15 |
| thaurwylth | OK! | 16:44 |
| Rcck2 | hi | 19:13 |
| Rcck2 | getting some problems installing samba from the software center, anyone know how to solve them? retunr errors on install | 19:13 |
| Rcck2 | like 404 error, bad link | 19:13 |
| tomreyn | please post full terminal command and output to paste.ubuntu.com, then share the url | 19:14 |
| Rcck2 | well i talk about the one click software center | 19:15 |
| Rcck2 | how can i cancel an installation from the software centeer? i click on one and its taking forever, need to cancel it, cancel button does nothing, looks disabled | 19:17 |
| Rcck2 | task manager on xubuntu looks highly unacurate, it says CPU on 100% and its not bcos fan is no longer blowing after kill process | 19:27 |
| Rcck2 | either it shows very delayed data ot its just fully wonrg, i dont know | 19:28 |
| Bashing-om | Rcck2: Swap hammered ? what shows terminal command ' free -m ' ? | 19:33 |
| Rcck2 | i dont know, i just shut it down, too much pain in the ass, | 19:35 |
| Rcck2 | why they do it so complex always on linux? i mean, there is no way to try to use a system like the windows double click and "next next next" ? ready for idiots | 19:42 |
| Rcck2 | and you are not limited to what appears or dont appears on the software manager | 19:42 |
| Rcck2 | otherwise.... oh manual reading on hwo to isntall | 19:42 |
| Rcck2 | how the hell a tar.gz must be isntalled? now you need to lose more time reading and trying commands | 19:43 |
| bluecurve | Trying to install the bluecurve icon set, but when I unzip the file containing all of the .ico files to /usr/share/icons the option to switch to the new icon set does not appear in the settings manager icon tab. What am I doing wrong? | 20:16 |
| bluecurve | I also tried creating a hidden .icons folder and unzipping it there in the home directory | 20:17 |
| bluecurve | is .ico the wrong file format for icon sets? | 20:21 |
