=== finstern1s is now known as finsternis === guiverc2 is now known as guiverc === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === CarlenWhite_Err is now known as CarlenWhite [07:36] why would xubuntu user xflock4 for locking the screen instead of `dm-tool lock`? [07:40] dm-tool works specifically with lightdm/light-locker, xflock4 works with gnome-screensaver, mate-screensaver, xfce4-screensaver, light-locker, slock, xscreensaver... [07:40] Damn, beat me to it by ' ' much. [08:01] JackFrost, Thank you! [08:41] hi all! [08:42] I am meeting a slow disk(spin) issue [08:42] sudo hdparm --direct -Tt /dev/sdc [08:43] I run this command but result is like: [08:43] Timing O_DIRECT cached reads: 110 MB in 2.03 seconds = 54.12 MB/sec [08:43] Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 174 MB in 3.14 seconds = 55.50 MB/sec [08:43] I think 5xMB/s is very very [08:44] What os I am using is Xubuntu 18.04 === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia [09:44] bill_: and this problem only occurs with xubuntu? [09:45] I only have xubuntu OS. [09:45] windows is in VMware guest maching [09:46] /dev/sdc seems like a removable drive to me. [09:47] the /dev/sdc in my PC is connected to SATA port [09:49] is it IDE/AHCI, what fs and how old it is? [09:50] the /dev/sdc is new relatively , I bought it within this year [09:50] bios's SATA is set as AHCI [09:51] by the way is Toshiba 2T, chipper one from taobao site [09:53] and filesystem? [09:54] it is ext4 [09:55] When I copy a big file or folder, the process of it take too long time to be finished [09:56] install gnome-disk-utility go to SMART and self test and nitice the value of Current Pending Sector Count. [09:57] and the issue you've just stated is a known one and has a workaround. [09:58] @digenes sure, I use smartctl tool to those stuff of the disk [09:59] but I did not see the Current Pending Sector Count [09:59] I am seeing it .... [10:00] I got it [10:00] 73 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 [10:01] very bad [10:01] ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE [10:01] the value must be o [10:01] the header of data is this line [10:02] please remove "73" in the data line [10:02] 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 [10:02] ok i didn't get it in that format :) [10:04] ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE [10:04] 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000b 100 100 050 Pre-fail Always - 0 [10:04] 2 Throughput_Performance 0x0005 100 100 050 Pre-fail Offline - 0 [10:04] 3 Spin_Up_Time 0x0027 100 100 001 Pre-fail Always - 2157 [10:04] 4 Start_Stop_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 393 [10:04] 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 100 100 050 Pre-fail Always - 0 [10:05] !pastebin [10:05] 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. [10:05] ok I will use gnome-disk-utility [10:08] gnome-disk-utility cannot show me the value of Current Pending Sector Count [10:09] i guess it does the test on schedule, maybe you need a reboot. [10:11] the gome-disk-utility have changed completely, really different the one several year ago [10:11] I must use /usr/bin/gnome-disks to do that [10:15] @diogenes I have reboot my PC serveral times and then tested with hdparm --directiro -t /dev/sdc these day [10:17] the fact that it doesn't show the value of Current Pending Sector Count is a question mark. [10:19] on my both drives online and offline it shows 0 sectors. [10:21] no question mark and no red text [10:21] ok will see the info of my another disk [10:23] i mean a question mark in the way that i wonder why it doesn't show it. [10:28] @diaogenes I cannot understand u [10:31] bill_, check this out: https://i.imgur.com/KZNDyKF.png [10:31] now show us a screenshot of yours. [10:38] I never used the imgur.com I am register and logining it [10:39] bill_, nooo [10:39] don't register anything just use xfce4-screenshooter and host to imgur. [10:47] ok I pasted to here: https://imgur.com/5rcIHHf [10:50] bill_, ok now click on that gear icon and pick SMART Data & Self Test like in this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/M5XGBbJ.png [10:50] and pastebin those tests. [10:51] I know pastebin [10:51] and your drive is LVM2 [10:52] and LVM is a thing i've never had any experience with so i don't know how it might affect the performance, i suppose it might affect the performance. [10:55] ya I did put the whole disk to lvm2 but did not partitioned it. [10:56] Somebody's say I will lose something..., if I do so. [10:57] thank I will find time to backup data in and partition it and then put ists partions to lvm2 [11:00] ok I thinking to buy new disk and replace it lively (lmv2 support that) === bynarie_ is now known as bynarie === legacy080 is now known as legacy079 [19:09] Getting freeze-ups but journalctl nor /var/crash show anything wrong. [19:10] When I tried to sysreq out, it appeared in the journalctl. So I'm a bit lost on what I can do or provided. [19:10] Provide, rather. [19:11] dmesg [19:11] did you try [19:17] Checking /var/log/dmesg.0 shows information 8 seconds after boot. [19:17] Same for the latest [19:19] But the crash happened long after 8 seconds. [19:19] Or freeze rather. [19:20] I'm suspecting AMD weirdness since I've had similar issues on my laptop, but it'd log whenever it hit a freeze.
