| PaulePanter | Hi. A user has a Dell Latitude 5500 with Dell’s pre-installed Ubuntu 18.04. | 13:21 |
|---|---|---|
| PaulePanter | All packages are updated. | 13:21 |
| PaulePanter | Unfortunately, it doesn’t boot anymore. It just hangs after GRUB. | 13:21 |
| PaulePanter | Trying to debug it, it turns out that `maxcpus=1` fixes it a little bit. The first time it still fails, but then forcefully powering it off, the second attempt often works. | 13:22 |
| PaulePanter | What channel would be best to report that to? What Launchpad component is the right place? | 13:22 |
| PaulePanter | Unfortunately, I do not get the console messages on the screen (unless I remove the initrd line in GRUB), and there is no serial console. | 13:23 |
| PaulePanter | Sounds similar to https://www.dell.com/community/Latitude/Latitude-5400-boot-fail-after-BIOS-update-to-1-6-3/td-p/7442753 | 13:28 |
| PaulePanter | but the firmware was updated in February, and the disk firmware on March 3rd. | 13:28 |
| PaulePanter | And some boots after that worked. | 13:28 |
| PaulePanter | Any suggestions? | 13:29 |
| * PaulePanter also wants to note, that the Dell TB16 docking station also does not work well under GNU/Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, …). | 13:37 | |
| PaulePanter | After the battery went out of juice, starting the system again, the problem disappeared. | 16:54 |
| PaulePanter | So something might be broken in the initramfs? | 16:54 |
